    Getting paint out of the seat!! - Or prices for seats??

    If nothing else works, I would suggest calling a leather dye guy. I had the 80% of an interior re-dyed once. They matched the other 20% perfectly. So, they can probably treat and re-dye the part you messed up for $50-100. It's like paintless dent removal, they can come to your house/work and...

    Clay bar problems HELP

    Spray the clay bar itself on both sides as well as the paint surface. Then you will be sure not to beach the bar on a dry spot. This also helps to keep the bar from sticking to your hands.

    Don't they say that it costs 1% of HP for every 10 degF of intake temperature, or something ridiculous like that...

    Late model GTS air conditioning

    In Houston, the A/C really doesn't cut it in my 01 GTS. I have a couple of ideas, but first off, I wonder why my 01 Intrepid will give you frost bite while the Viper is so weak on A/C? They must be similar/same parts to the A/C? Idea 1: On any setting, the A/C is pulling a huge amount of...

    OFFICIAL SRT-10 POLL!!! THUMBS UP or THUMBS DOWN?

    Thumbs down on the SRT styling. It had to change and even though I don't like it, it makes my Viper the "old, slower" model in the eyes of the most important critics -- the chicks! Boo hoo.

    Nitrous Kit installed pics within!!!!

    Can you give the details of components and overall cost? That looks like a 2001 yellow (as opposed to a 95 or whatever), do you have any concerns with the pistons with a 200hp shot? BTW, the sig saids 00 black GTS, so where did the 01 yellow RT/10 come from?
