    I want my gas cap to shine.........

    I know there isn't a clear coat on it at all since I've had it. There are some very small pits in it as well but are not noticeable unless you get really close to it. Steve340, can I buy something from the auto store to clear coat it myself or do I have to take it to a shop?

    It actually came out pretty good. Compound took off a lot of black residue. I'll hit it again later, thanks. Hey, I just noticed that under the gas cap it says "Premium unleaded fuel only" in english and it looks like French... everyone have this type of sticker or could this have been a...

    I want my gas cap to shine.........

    Like most of us with older snakes (96' GTS), I've started to see that the aluminum gas cover is becoming a little dull. Besides paying $ 550 for a new one, what product can I use to get the polished look back? Sandpaper? Take it to a machine shop?

    Vipers Reilable?

    I think it would be foolish to think Vipers or ANY other car is bullet proof. ALL cars deteriorate over time. You can't judge a cars maintenace history on just 20k miles. To get a true felling of how reliable they are, the "daily drivers" with a few years under their belt need to post here...

    Question for all viper owners...

    There was a thread on this about 3-4 months ago. Do a search, it should turn up. Most of us either are in a field that pays well, such as an IT position or own our own company which has turned profitable. You can pick up used Vipers in the 30's now. That's almost in the reach of most...

    Rebuilt 98' Viper GTS value?

    Re: Rebuilt 98\' Viper GTS value? When I was looking for my 96' GTS. I found several salvage titled cars that were selling about $6000 - $7000 less than a clean car. That's what I'd put it at. Also figure in any mods you may have as a plus at about 50% of their new installed value.

    A Viper that will DISGUST you!!!!

    Snapped off a lugnut, need advise...

    Well, I've had ones brake off on other cars and it was an easy fix. Here's what to do: 1) Buy the stud from Dodge. 2) Take off the tire and use a punch with a hammer to knock out the broken stud pin (towards the car). 3) Push the new stud through the back of the wheel hub (It won't go through...

    Buying a used GTS

    Do a search on the subject. There have been several posts about it. Keep doing your homework. Carfax, vehicle history, accidents, re-painted, salvage, etc. The best thing to do is take one of our local members to buy the car. They can tell you a lot about the car and if it has/had problems...

    Value Of 1995 With Only 9 Miles????

    Everyone knows the problems with a car sitting for extended time periods. I'm with everyone else, I'd rather have a car that has had 2,000 miles put on a year. The "bugs" haven't been worked out yet either on this car. A car that has sat for 6 years will develop problems. As far investment...

    ATTN:John H.-Beware of that White Supra!

    12.4.... ouch! I was waiting for an 11 post from you. Chuck, did you run with your new exhaust? Scott, your trap speed was good. Looks like with a good hook up you'll have no problems with 11's. Where did you put the NOS button? I can see why you waited for 3rd to hit it......

    Hot AS HADES NEED YOUR INPUT

    How would you like to give your keys to complete strangers day in and day out? I do. If you are going to give your keys to anyone, give them a little info. Point the car straight when accelerating hard, don't downshift in corners, watch curbs/valance, etc. It's YOUR job to tell them. I...

    I NEED A NEW SHORTTHROW SHIFTER.....

    Matt, Call George Bockwinkel @ 708-366-7760. He has 3 stem lengths too. They are all one piece hardened stainless. I got the medium length and the polished MGW shift knob (1-6 pic on top). It looks like the car was made that way, it's a great combination. It's the perfect height too. It's...

    What do you use on your console/door skins?

    I've tried many products and find that every one of them leaves a greasy residue that wipes off on your arm/clothes in less than an hour. Is there anything out there that keeps the shine and doesn't wear off so soon?

    Where to get Steel Grey paint?

    You can go to any body shop and they'll mix it for you. Be careful, the stuff is poison and kids my think it's candy or a drink. Keep it safe.
