Does anyone have pics of their GTS with an Autoform LeMans facia and DiamondBack Hood

[ArlyDude]

I am thinking about doing this upgrade to my Viper and would like to see what it looks like in Blue w/white stripes....but other colors would do as well. Also, can you tell me the cost involved?

I believe the Facia is like $2200 and the DiamondBack Hood is like $5000ish.

Here's one:

Cost involved? 2500 for facia, plus shipping, installation and paint.
6500 for hood, plus shipping and paint.

So, maybe about 11 or 12K as total, depending how much you can do or how well you know the bodyshop guy...

That, Sir, is definitely a DOWNGRADE.

Like it except for too much air in the front wheel wells. Not good for aero and front downforce. Need to lower the wheel well arch on that hood.

Someone needs to design a more aggressive front bumper for the gen 2...

You're crazy, that facia is awesome.

The hennessey one is way too low, I plan on getting a custom front facia made for my car once my Paxton setup is complete...I currently have my front facia n side sills at a shop getting custom splitters. Will post pics once that's done...

What?????.......

Anyway....





I'm not a big fan of the center lights. I tinted them but....
I realize that they are to resemble the GTS-R fascia. I just think it breaks up the lines. AF makes another fascia that is similar to the LeMans fascia but has a few small differences.
I will probably remove the lights in favor of air intakes for my new engine set up.

WARNING... Some of the fascias' will go right on the car. Others will need some modification.
Just the way it is....

Good luck getting that hood. I am not certain Roger is still in business. I know someone who tried to get a hood from him, gave him a deposit and all but had no delivery of the hood.

I would agree. That looks like some of the Honda Civics people drive around here and throw all those damn body kits and ground effects on.

And what is on the roof? Is that a third brake light that is backwards? Whatever it is it can't be functional.

WOW...

I have a lot more photos of the ..."Honda Civics" with the "brake lights on the roof".....



Maybe you might want to sit back and observe the forum for a while before you make any more brilliant statements "mr. member for 2 mos and 42 posts".....

No problem if you don't care for the car but,...

How does it go... "better to keep your mouth shut and let people think your an idiot than to open it and remove all doubt..."

I heard the same. Unless you are getting a Diamondback used, you are out of luck.

Damn ! Hide the women and chidren... That looks just plain Sinister!!! I'd like to see what it would look like with the vents under the grill opening blacked out...

That looks sinister, beautiful car.

12K= ROE Turbo Kit.
12K= ROE Supercharger.
12K= Exhaust + wheels + superbowl party!

Putting that on a functional road race car is totally different vs a street car.

Now thats the Nuts

Think the Hood might look better with a large White vent ....

It could be someone's first post to realize that the roof scoop on the Oreca cars is actually functional whereas the stick-on AF one is non-functional. The Honda comment is appropriate given that scope.

Or...
You could do it the right way and mold it in like it was always there.
Something a true Viper owner would do....

That way, it could and still might be functional...

Re: Does anyone have pics of their GTS with an Autoform LeMans facia and DiamondBack

So anyone that does not have a roof scoop on their car is not a true Viper owner?

I was referring to the way the scoop was done and not half ass'd "stuck on" as you referred to or might have done yourself.......




Most Viper owners care about quality....

Nice try though.....

Re: Does anyone have pics of their GTS with an Autoform LeMans facia and DiamondBack

This car seems to be very tastefully done. But taste is subjective. I realize that a Viper is all about being Form and Function with the emphasis more on function but even on all of the American cars made in the last 40-50 years probably less than 1/2 of all the different types of scoops on cars are actually functional. The theme of this car is consistent, well executed and it looks very purposeful IMO. I certainly wouldn't throw it under the rice truck.

Yes all the Aero mods I built for my car that have gotten praise from everyone that has seen them are stuck on with body tape. I towed my car to these locations for the pics so I wouldn't get a ticket for littering!!!
