It's here - and it's scaring the neighbors...

Wow, nice job, nice effort.

Is that the factory forgeline offset for those wheels? I just got the call, my forgeline sp3p's are ready to ship but i'm almost thinking that the rear wheels stick out to much
forgeline told me that there offset would be more aggressive than stock but that just might be alittle to much................maybe its just the pic, maybe its the angle......
Now i'm alittle worried to get my wheels on.

Anyways I love the strips and the interior but the side art over does it. Obviously you like it and that is all that matters.

I agree drop the back down alittle more

Agreed!! That is the next cover!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The offset on the forgelines aren't for this car, you you're dead on, they do stick out a bit and it bothered me at first. But the wheels are very lightweight, I love the style and the deep dish... so I had to use them here. They also don't make them anymore.

Little things still have to be finished up. Like someone said, red license plate cover... That's just temporary. I didn't anticipate posting these pics this soon. But vacation is coming in two weeks and given the weather, it's going to be tough to come by many more sunny days in the next week or so.

Thanks for all the kind words!

Quite tastefully done. Are you planning on showing her?

Let me start out by saying that I appreciate the fact you want to make to car "your own" but considering what you have done with the car, it needs to be looked upon as what not to do with one's Viper. First, I commend you on the original base color. I love the SSG. The stripes should have been wider and they should have gone all the way through the front fascia as well as the rear (license plate area included). Ditch the snakeskin crap. Also, get rid of the red color all together (license plate frame) and while you are at it get rid of the side skirts.

I think the side view looks like shi*. That black needs to go. Don't know what you are trying to go for.

Now, this is just my observation as a custom painter. I understand that each Viper owner has a right to do whatever he/she wants to do to their car. But, as a Viper owner myself, I like to maintain as much of the original concept (paint, design) as possible to stay true to the Viper heritage.

As far as the trunk goes, hats off. I think that whomever did the trunk redesign did a great job. It is awesome. I don't mind giving credit where credit is due. I think I need to talk to the guys that did your trunk area.

I LOVE THOSE STRIPES! the interior is lamborghini-wild. all that green inside is so "IN YOUR FACE", but @ the same time, tasteful.

not a real big fan of the graphics on the side. i think they are a little much, but the stripes & interior totally rock.

VS - might take it to the occasional show, but I bought mainly for the track. I have other capable cars but couldn't resist the 08 enhancements and wanted something that could still easily cruise with the club in. Hardtop would have been better, but given my height, the verts are far more accommodating.

Z - It's not a matter of taste, it's a matter of passion. The car was posted here, not to fit everyone's tastes, but to show another example of how Viper fanatics like making things their own. As Viper owners we can often be eccentric, so some wild things come out of the garages baring the Viper emblem. Some I love, some I hate, but I respect them all.

By the way, I didn't go down the bumpers for a reason. Because it's a track car, I've had to repaint the bumpers before. This will eliminate the need to repaint the stripes and match the snakeskin pattern - which I love. There is also a reason the stripes are exactly the width they are. Do you own an 08?

Autowerks did the work on the trunk. Their work is exceptional, I was pleased. I don't have their number in front of me, but if you visit www.illinoisvipers.com, it's listed in the Links/Sponsors area. They really are good people. And evidenced by the Vipers, lambos, bentleys, bugatti's, and even the two orignal batmobile cars (I would kill to drive that down the street)... they've earned many people's trust. They're located in Northbrook, IL. Ron and Jerry are the guys to talk to.

Theme music has to be something from AC/DC...

Was there unique music for the Riddler in Batman?? Don't know why but that comes to mind.

That car is perfect ( except the license frame) IMO.

Awesome

I'm guessing if you love the wheels you could send them back to forgeline and have them change the offset. not to sure what that would cost but i'm sure its cheaper than buying new wheels.

Maybe they look perfect fine in person.

[Viper Wizard]

Very nice Alex!

[Vic]

Its loaded with "boom-chicka-wow-wow"!

[pteam]

Very nice car. If its a "track car" why didn't you get a coupe?

[Andrew/USPWR]

Great job.

Lots of differnet companies worked on the car (Prefix, Autowerks, Roanoke, Graphics Zone, Riggs Bros, etc..). Had them all on a schedule, we missed a few things but almost there. Autowerks did the system. They have a great builder. I knew what I wanted and he did a good job executing. All the logos light up green with LED's. I also put all the electronincs on wireless, so my 6 channel remote controls leds, strobes, etc...

Awesome job Alex!
The same builder at autowerks (eric) did my sound system as well. Best guy around no doubt.
