I followed a link to the kit in another older thread once and didn't find it. Can also not find it on the Callaway site. Is it just for the coupe or a Speedster kit is also available? Thanks.

Speedsters are no longer available new. AeroBody is. We're working on the website, so perhaps the store link is one of those under maintenance.Thnaks.
Thanks. But the difference between the Speedster and AeroBody is only the roof, right? It seems to me that apart from the rear window, the rest, such as windshield and side windows were just custom cut lower?
Oh come on now! Stop it already! I'm trying to give other colors a chance here! Stop posting awesome red C4s!
This specifically is exactly what I had in mind till a week ago. A 1990 red ZR-1. Now I'm starting to second guess the ZR-1 thing and might get a standard C4 and do a LS swap instead, based on speaking to some knowledgeable guys here. But it's not to say yet.
I have a thing for the pre 1991 shape. I think it's starting to look like a classic, as the post 1991 is still semi modern. I like that the pre 1991 cars have a more Italian influence. Corvette was born from Italian influence. The side vents on the pre 1991 is pure Ferrari. Ditto with the round tail lights. The whole shape is more edgy and chunky and less 90's smoothed out. So it's more classic car material these days. The post 1991 C4s still need another 10 years to get there. It suffers from the same problems the C5 does, but to a MUCH lesser degree. The C5 screams 90s and the 90s were just not that long ago enough yet.
BUT! Sometimes I love how futuristic the post 1991 cars still look. So slick, just as sexy really. I used to think if it's red I would want a pre 1991. Black or another slick color I would want a post 1991. That was before I saw MatthewMiller's red post 1991 C4. It looks fantastic! I think I know what it is. The smoked front light covers make the post 1991 cars look futuristic and less sporty, while the pre 1991 are pure sport. But MatthewMiller seem to have taken the smoked lenses off of his red C4 or something and it brought the car to the sporty side. I'm not sure you can understand what I mean by sport vs futuristic. Of course both are sport. But I hope you understand where I'm coming from.
I guess you can kind of tell I'm still split. If going for pre 1991, the 1990 ZR-1 is the ultimate one. You get the Ferrari-esque styling with the more slick and modern interior and ZR-1 rear. But I'm still not sure what I will go for.
As for red, it's my favorite so far. Black is cool but hides the beautiful lines of the C4 too much. It's also pretty monochromatic. I think the murdered out thing got played out about 10 years ago IMO. I dislike black whell on any car. Not only because they are hard to keep clean and will show any imperfections. But also because they are dead. IMO a sports car should look alive. All black is great on a limo. Reason I thought of the gold and black look. But I don't want chrome gold for the same reasons I don't enjoy normal chrome. Too much bling for me. I enjoy more brushed aluminum, silver etc. So matte gold could be ok.
Apart from that I thought of burnt orange for a post 1991 car. It would look nice and futuristic with the smoked front lenses. This is basically a dark metallic orange type of color.
The C7 has a great new green that I also like very much and could look good on a C4.
Then there is gunmetal and also pewter. But the less brown kind. But these are also like black. It needs some color to spice it up. Nothing too loud though.
But there are big chances I will end up with a red C4 of some sort. So please red C4 owners, stop tempting me!
Choosing a color? Consider YELLOW It looks good in daylight AND nighttime. My 1995 is yellow and I have not regretted choosing it and I get a lot of admirers, from both vette owners and the general public. Red looks good by day. Orange, also. White looks good at night. Yellow has a safety benefit as well. I've been hit from behind by drunk drivers twice...scared to have a black car, for my resultant paranoia. Check out some Yellow vettes and see if it grabs you.

It's front and rear fascias, Lower doors, rockers, side gills, lights and lenses, and a ton of brackets.
To build a quality kit, it takes a lot of resources. The price falls where it must.
Other than a different look, are there any objectively measurable benefits? Were these components tested in a wind tunnel? Does the package decrease or increase vehicle weight?

Chris, did Callaway sell & install any other body kits. My back bumper has Callaway on it instead of Corvette and I haven’t seen another 1 like it. Thanks Kevin
