Emblems Poll on a '03 Viper Red SRT10 Vert....Help a brother out please......

[TexasTorred]

Brothers/Sisters,
Contemplating modding the stock emblems on my '03 Viper Red SRT10 Vert. OEM emblems on side and rear bumper are (body-color). Think Dodge went to silver in '06.

Yes, before I get pile-drived, I did do a search, but just saw lots of silver emblems on various cars, no black, etc......

Thank you and your feedback is much appreciated....Here's a pic of my car. (Of course, if you have pictures of your car--please post---I know we all love posting pictures of our cars anyway

Thanks! Love it. That might look pretty 'clean' debadged on the rear....Just never been a fan of the body-colored ones......

This gets my vote.

I prefer the CHROME emblems sides and rear......

I have silver on the sides and rear for the Viper emblems, but the Dodge lettering remains in body color. Really pops in silver IMO.

Black side emblems on a red car bring out the black roof. I left the rear emblems alone. You throw silver on there, now your at 3 different colors, to much if you ask me. Keep it simple..

 

[TexasTorred]

Thanks all. As the saying goes, "post em' if you got em' ...Pictures that is......... Love to see what the different combinations look like......Especially if you have a Viper Red with silver and/or black ones.....

Thanks again. Interesting responses.....different feedback than I'd thought I'd get......Guess that's why we take polls ..........Unless it is a CNN or MSNBC ones........

I have an 08 with silver and I'm not a fan of it, I'd prefer body color.

My opinion isn't up there on my plan B. I'd say body color with stock wheels. If you did black wheels then I think black emblems could be cool.

I prefer the clean look to match body color....

This is what I have (but deleted Dodge from rear). I think the Silver/Chrome Lettering really Highlights the Aluminum/Chrome wheels, NOW if you have Black Wheels then go with the Black Lettering! jmo

Thanks Marshall (Gunsmoke fan).....I'll let the poll run a little longer....Can't make up my damn mind---leaning silver on the sides....... Poll results look like a union steward vote at this point

I have silver side emblem new. Pm me if interested only 1 side

All black. Tint the windows, slightly tint the headlights and tailights, and get some wheels with black on them.

 

[cubican]

As you know I like the black and red look.

Thanks All. Yes Pedro, I knew you were a closet Red Raider (black/red) fan!! I go back and forth. With top down, silver side emblems pick up the silver/match the OEM wheels.....Top Up, black emblems probably the way to go as they pick up the black top...........I'm falling and I can't get up Who am I to contradict the SRT designers....(ok, 2 words...door regulators)

I'll hold off ordering parts until I see a few more Vipers in person---which as you know short of Cars and Coffee is a little tough to do........ Like a bigfoot sighting.....

Thanks again ALL for the input/feedback!

Garron, please send me some pics of your ride with the black emblems....Muchos Gracias from the Lone Star State.....

Oh the humanity of it. The silver vs. black emblem saga continues...Opinions welcomed....Pics below....Staying with polished alum OEM wheels....

That is what I did with mine. looks clean.

 

[tattooed]

I like the silver on red.

 

[Steve737]

I have the same car and I'm changing mine to chrome sides. I'm just not sure about the ones on the rear bumper. I'm leaning toward no emblems on back.

 

[ipetrov]

I think it's really a function of what wheels you'd like to go with, as the wheels make a bigger first impression than the emblem(s). I used to be a big fan of silver/chrome six spokes on a red SRT and was determined to get that combo, but instead ended up buying a red SRT with black wheels (FrgMstr's former car). The red/black two-tone combo really cleans up the car, especially given the black top, IMO. So in my particular case black side embelms look like the only option.

As for the rear emblems, I think painting them black (or any other color different from body color) would make them look too much like bumper stickers (rear looking a bit too busy).

Given that you've settled on polished alum OEM wheels, there's no getting around the 3-color combo with the top up (unless you get a red hardtop), so I'd vote silver sides, body color rears.

Well written---thank you. This really helped between your picture and rationale......Think you're right. It really comes down to wheel choice to drive the decision. Since I love the polished aluminum 'viper' (OEMs), I am leaning heavily toward the silver emblems. If I had black wheels, seems a no-brainer, black emblems. Thanks again. FrgMstr is a good guy! I see you've 'straightened' out his old ride so to speak.......added the emblem back on the front bumper too!

Ipetrov, well said. Btw that car looks great!

Thanks, Texas! Good luck with your choice! The good thing is that if you end up not liking the end result, it's relatively inexpensive to go back or try another color. Congratulations on a beautiful clean looking ride.

And yes, good eye. The only aesthetic point of disagreement between Kyle and me is apparently that front emblem. I'm looking to get back to the '08+ hood and slightly tinted headlights that this car used to have, maybe over this winter.

Thank you for the kind words, Steve! I love this car.
