Poll - Your Thoughts on Custom Stripe for my Custom White/Black/Red Vert/Coupe

[ROCKET62]

Thanks for your thoughts and suggestions. I'd like to think I'm getting close to picking out the final paint scheme for my project Viper and I fell in love with the White/Black/Red ACR scheme, and want to do something just a bit different than stock. Two possible options I came up with is the red drivers stripe with the same total width, but having a thin accent stripe on each side. The other possibility was a very thin stripe right down the center the width of the Fangs emblem, also with accent stripes on each edge. Thoughts, comments, additional idaes using the same 3 colors? (After seeing Austin and ArnarFB's photoshops, I'm almost embarrased to show these pics - but you get the general idea.)

It will have a the acr splitter up front and the coupe rear end (no wing) and I would continue the stripe on the rear decklid. She might also have just a little custom work done to the engine to add a little more GO to the show .....

I would honestly only consider the ACR stripe...I understand it's going to be a custom Viper regardless, but I think the fact that people might think it was factory will be the best route

 

[KDR83]

definitely not the middle option

definitely not the middle option

Plus 1 on the center stripe. The driver's stripe also looks a little busy to me. Go over to the Gen V forum and look at the crayon thread. That guy has some brilliant ideas for the Gen 5, some of which might translate well on a Gen 3/4.

What about a standard white ACR stripe?

Totally what he said!

 

[Zentenk]

Passenger stripe!

 

[ssjcreeper]

Ditto on keeping it like the ACR stripe, and definitely not a a center stripe.

Same for me.

Single red ACR stripe with NO chasers.

OK - I'm hearing the "not feeling the love" with my two options. Any other suggestions that are just a bit different than stock? I am planning to Black Chrome the six spokes as a side-note. What about this stripe combination - still keeping the white/black/Viper Red paint? I liked this original picture, and did not like the wider stripe that was actually produced. I don't have the talent to photoshop this stripe onto my pictures and have put out a plea to Arnar after seeing his incredible pictures that he did of the Gen 5 for his creative ideas as well. I also like the single "Chaser" that Black Mamba added to his drivers stripe as well if I go more traditional.

Viperjon - I do love the look of your Viper!

Rocket, I love the Canada edition center stripe. I also see nothing wrong with either of your other ones. You need to do what you like best. My preference = Canada Edition stripe!!!

 

[C.Hermsen]

I opted against the dual accent stripes on the drivers stripe because it looked too busy. I have one accent stripe on the drivers side of my drivers stripe and I think that looks great!

I also had the grill done all black, just to set it apart from factory.

This is a nice example of a drivers stripe with chasers.

Slithr, I like the middle one!

I think the driver side stripe looks much better than the middle stripe. I chose other in the poll because I didn't like the look of the double chasers. I think single chaser as in the orange car looks good for that extra touch. C.Hermsen car looks great. But I think doing the grill black won't look good on a white car.

Also from the photoshops that ArnarFB made for the Gen5. I really liked this two paint schemes that are not factory like:

I'm thinking something like this but keeping your white sides and with chromed black wheels would probably look cool on your gen4.

 

[BlknBlu]

the Fangs strip looks good too. Maybe outlined in a different color. Or do a snakeskin stripe of some type.

The Gen V already gives me wood!

 

[Austin]

I'm totally in the minority here, but I really like the center stripe. It's different and think in person it'd actually be badass. Just my opinion of course. I also like the white driver stripe idea that Andy mentioned.

 

[ssjcreeper]

OK, these look absolutely awesome!
