I work at the company that originally supplied these (made out of carbon fibre), see the link, is this the fascia you're asking about? We still have the tooling btw. There's an upcoming supply (rare & exclusive opportunity for the Viper folks) of the original Viper parts (and many others inc. Gen 2 & 3, race stuff, etc..) we've supplied in the past, which is in a negotiation phase, PM if interested.

Here's more stuff below, you can search our site for Viper related parts.

Multimatic is a very high end Motorsports company, supplying OEMs, race teams, etc.. not an aftermarket type of company. You can google Multimatic for more info related to past development and racing, otherwise I cannot expose anything else (i.e. on a public internet site) due to the very sensitive confidentiality agreements in place.
Best regards,
Mike

Anyone know why they put lights in the center of the fascia and didn't use the headlights?

If you review the first link pic, headlights are on. Typical for night racing, more lights the better, especially 24 hr endurance racing.
OEM headlamps are designed for a specific wattage bulb (limited to street use / brightness), other than a cold light (high discharge, etc..) more wattage = more heat = melting the lens. Additional high wattage lights (not legal for street use, off road only) were most likely required for more lighting.
Regarding what is available out there, you'll have the decision to aquire an authentic supplied component or an aftermarket fascia (which is not correct regarding details, styling and material). Another option is to simply modify your existing fascia to mimmick the design with lower wattage lights.

I have the Autoform facia you are talking about and its fairly inexpensive, but its really expensive to get it prepped right and installed so all things line up. The product is poorly finished and requires a quaility body shop to fill in all the gaps, prep, sand, prime, paint, and install. Be sure you want it that bad.
