    New Addition on the way

    Nice choice on the 355. I remember seeing that car on F-Chat's Ferrari ads.

    Opinions on swapping 98+ dash into a 97 GTS

    I have the car now and love the swapped-in pebble finish dash. It is easier to care for and the stock dash and air bag are tucked away safe and sound. I now also have the airbag cutoff switch if I need it. Couple things to note: 1) The triangle door surrounds stay non textured. They did not...

    Changing RT-10 for GTS

    You're better off selling the RT/10 and buying a GTS than trying to retofit windows into your RT/10. I did the same change you are considering. I've been driving the GTS much more.

    Keys locked in 01 GTS

    If you tell him to delete the text, but quote his post, it doesn't really help much. ;)

    Any help on where and what WHEELS to buy??

    Scotty, a few questions. Are the ones you put on the street car a chrome finish or polished? What size did you go with? How's the pricing compared to the similar HRE 547s?

    Disappointented GTS Exhaust

    I'm going this route as soon as I get ahold of some replacement hardware. I need to replace the nuts, bolts, and spacers as weather has taken it's toll on them while stored in the garage.

    Anyone chromed a set of CCW wheels?

    Burt, Pictures would be great. I'll host and post them up for others. Thanks. I bet those 505's look awesome chromed. Gerald, thanks for the pricing info. Given viprvenm's experience I think I'll give CCW a call and see if I can luck out and stumble upon a set of chromed SP600s.

    Anyone chromed a set of CCW wheels?

    I really like their SP600 wheel, but the polished finishes always seem to dull over time. I've seen pictures where they look spectacular, but when I've seen them in person actually on a car, they don't have the shine like a chrome finish. I'm not sure if CCWs are clear coated or not, or maybe...

    Gallardo's exhaust note made me jealous.

    Re: Gallardo\'s exhaust note made me jealous. No, the rear section is an independant piece. It has clamps just after the exhaust pipes kick out of the side sills. You can kind of see them if you look under the car just in front of the rear wheels. I'm going to install a SnakeOyl rear...

    All things being equal how much more is a 99 worth than a 97 or 98?

    I agree about color and condition being the most important. I wanted a Blue/White car so I was limited to '96/'97. As a bonus, my '97 was upgraded to the '98 pebble finish dash and airbag with shut off along with the tubular exhaust manifolds. Now I have the best of '96/'97/'98. With a wheel...

    Which CCW's are these?

    Re: Which CCW\'s are these? The car is a photoshop by Austin. The wheels look like CCW SP20's.

    Recommended Floor Jack and Bottle Jacks?

    That's the one I use. Works great and has a nice rubber pad on it to keep from marring anything.

    Very motivated as well - make me an offer 02 GTS ACR

    I think the secret is it's a 1 of 8, no comfort group car. Little tougher to move as it appeals to a smaller audience. I believe Fred is the second owner. The car looks great and has some minor mods. For the right person, this could be a great buy. If anyone is interested, I'd also be happy to...

    What other cars did you look at before deciding on your Viper?

    I'm very similar. I've had GM muscle for years. I bought a '96 RT/10 about 5 years ago and then sold it earlier this year. I toyed with trying something different, Porsche GT3, Ferrari 355 or 360. In the end I bought another Viper. This time a Blue/White '97 GTS. It's an amazing car and you...

    who are the companies that make the paint protection kits..........

    Ed, since you're in NorCal I'd shoot an e-mail over to Premiere ( [email protected] ). They do alot of the cars on Ferarri Chat. I'm seriously considering have them do a custom install on my GTS. The last quote I received from them was: -Standard Pre-cut: hood bonnet, mirrors, fenders...

    Selling my 2001 Sapphire GTS - Could Use Some Advise

    When I sold my '96 RT/10 the purchaser did not test drive it. I would have taken him out, but I wouldn't have let him drive it anyway. When I bought my '97 GTS from a private party I did not test drive it. Actually, I didn't even see it in person. I did know of the previous owner and his...

    Where do you get clear marker lights, and how much?

    They come in an unlabled box from the Ebay seller. No manufacturer info that I noticed. No instructions either. Just a basic replacement marker light set. For $40 I don't think you'll get much of a break on price for a GP anyway. I'd just note that the kits from this seller fit and look good and...

    Which model year is best?

    I didn't really have a set budget but when it came down to it, I chose a mint '97 Blue/White GTS. It was less than $60K so your wife would approve.

    I just received and installed these pieces from e-bay. They fit perfect and look great.

    Which model year is best?

    Review Viper Joe's registry link. It'll help you align the model years with available colors. For the RT/10, Black with silver stripes was available. These car are considered Gen1.5. Like Gen 1, they have the same motor and still do not have electronic windows, but they have the Gen2 suspension...
