Default C5 and C3 3d models

Does anyone have a decent 3d model of a c5 (z06 preferably) and/or a c3? A friend of mine and I would like to try out some splitter and wing ideas for my car and his using CFD.

I searched the forums and the internet a bit and came up with a free google sketch up document which looks ok. It is, however, a coupe and I'm not 100% on the accuracy of the model:

There's also a $120 model of a c5z:

This model looks very nice, but for $120 I might just try to make my own. Just wanted to see if anyone had any models they wouldn't mind sharing. We'd be happy to post some of the CFD results!

I found a decent model on the Google Sketchup library but was not successful in having it import into Solidworks or Unigraphics. My goal was the same as yours.

Edit: Ooops just saw you found the Sketchup model.

Thanks for the reply! I may end up just buying the better model... just wanted to see if anyone had something they would share!

Reviving this from the dead. I talked to the artist who is selling the model on creative crash. He didn't think the model was accurate enough for CFD. Someone must have one somewhere, no?
