As those of who have one of the Gen 5 Viper Extremes know, the car is delivered with 6 extensions which attach to each of the 6 rear diffuser carbon fiber "columns," 3 to the left of center, 3 to the right of center. The extensions each have 6 predrilled holes which fit over the attachments for the carbon fiber pieces.
My 2 extensions left of center and the 2 extensions right of center line up ok. The 2 "outboard" extensions on each side do not line up-the predrilled holes are ~ 3-4 mm
off from the attachment bolts on the carbon fiber pieces. As suggested in the Owner's Manual, we tried bending the extensions to make them fit but the alignment
between the attaching points and the predrilled holes is too far off.
Not sure what to do with this other than send the 2 outboard extensions back and try another pair. Any suggestions/ideas would be appreciated. As a side observation, I don't understand why these extensions were not put on the car at the factory or the dealership.
Thanks.

You got the Viper Bespoke Extreme. You didn't by chance mention to anyone while ordering your car that you like to do puzzles did you?

These are track installed extentions , along with the front splitter, and surprisingly they are not supposed be installed by the Dealer -- though some will be. Very difficult to load when on also , but get in contact with your Dealer and imagine he can assist you.
