Venom aerobumper facia info choices

[opnwide]

I am looking at changing the look of my 97 GTS. I like the look of the Henn*** Venom bumper, aerobumper, whatever you want to call it. Jonny's not making them anymore, so I was wondering if anyone knew of a nice alternative. The autoform splitter is interesting, but I haven't found one that looks "clean" like the venom aero bumper.

I'll probably be adding side splitters and a GTSR wing at some point as well.

Any suggestions?

thanks

the JH aero kits were made over here, i know the viper guy who brought the moulds when the original company producing folded, though not sure if he still has them

Neil,
do you have any contact info on Rawlson. I couldn't find anything on the internet.

thanks

Damn, Greg...nice garage!

You should just call John up...I'm sure if there is a customer car in the shop with the kit he'll just pull it off of there and sell it to you

a shame, but

Neil,
do you have any contact info on Rawlson. I couldn't find anything on the internet.

thanks

you wont, they were the company that used to produce all the hennessey stuff but they folded up several years ago. Like i mentioned another UK viper guy managed to obtain the original moulds

id did get a nice JH RT/10 roof and glass windows out of them just in the nick of time

I have called John H. He's all out. I also called JonB and Vipercarparts for possible used ones without any luck. I didn't think these bumpers would be so tough to find...

think youll find they are pretty scarce, they havent been made for a long time

you could try Nadine, she fitted a new one on her 9 second GTS last summer for a track event

Why not get a front end from autoform. Much better looking than H in either the daytona or lemans version. GTS Bruce

Bruce,
any pics of the daytona front end? I can't find anything on autoform's website on that one.
Their splitter is "OK", but not great. I think the splitter is too wide up front and doesn't match the rest of the car. I understand how the sides generate extra downforce, but I'm not real keen on that look. Maybe there's an earlier version that's more narrow?

 

[GTS Bruce]

The daytona front end is the lemans front end without the 2 xtra lights or the bulges to accomodate them. GTS Bruce

Did you look at Elite bumpers?

Body Upgrades

Here is a picture of mine (left), Aerobumper (middle), and stock.
The Elite has additional openings for cooling brakes.

One of the Washington Club guys (think it was Clint C-note?) had a nose that he felt was too long and was looking to trade straight across for a stocker nose. Was VOI 11 and things might have changed, but try the Washington Regional forums. It doesn't hurt to ask?

I like those Elite bumpers. I'll check them out and also that Washington club.

thanks

A year or so a guy in St. Petersburg Florida had a new one for sale on EBAY. He had a starting bid of $1600.00 on it but I don't think it ever sold (local pick-up only so that limited the potential market). Never did find out who it was that had it. I wanted to swing by just to take a peek since it was "new" and still in primer. I have to assume someone on the forum knows who that was..and I'm sure still for sale.

I saw the Elite mold 2 weeks ago.... Its in PA, outside and in rain.
and the answer is no. He will not make front facias with this mold.

 

[RedEnuf93]

Here it is, well... one of them. There are quite a few out there... Picture was taken yesterday.

Looks like a Hobbyist should buy that and sell the cover to us/the world?
