Default ok, dont shoot me!

For posting another thread about rear wings...its just think the ACR aero package would look killer on my black SRT Viper, vert. I want to put the red side stripe on the car as well.....and that rear wing.

It seems people either love or hate that rear wing, especially on convertibles. SO, since I have never seen a rear wing on a vert SRT I would like all of you guys opinions on the ACR aero package for a black SRT vert...with and without the rear wing.

You're not the only one! I happen to really like wings on cars, and drew a ton of flak for being one of the first to put them on a Honda S2000. I think the new ACR is the best looking Viper yet, one day I'd like to get my '04 black mamba painted like the gray (fenders, doors) and black (hood, trunk) ACR show car.

If you do get the wing, be sure to post up some pics of how it looks.

Thumbs up Re: ok, dont shoot me!

It can be done! The trouble is going to be getting those parts while 08's are being assembled! Unless someone reading this from the Viper plant can pull me an "Arero" package? I'll install it on Black Mamba's Viper.

Don't forget to put some downforce on your front end if your gonna put a big wing on the back.

I go back and forth about wings. Some look great, like the 08 ACR, while some look like you're just trying to yell, "look at me, boy-racer!". Wings on non-performance cars look just plain stupid.

But for your car, there is only one measure that should matter. You like it? Do it.

Buy another deck lid from JonB so that you can return it to stock if you'd like. I think the ACR stripe would look awesome on a vert.

I thought we had decided back in 1992 with Vin #00000000000001 that the Viper is a performance car.

Therefore making all Vipers performance cars.

Therefore meaning that all Vipers are eligible for a wing by that definition.

And I like it, and someday will do it on my GTS.

I think wings look great on coupes, but a little funny on verts. I think it will look even worse and out of place when the top is down.

Its just something about the coupe with the solid top and different rear panels that make it look great with a wing. I love the GTS with stripes and wing, the new coupe looks awesome with the Prefix wing. So my vote is No on a vert.
