Watching the struggle folks are having with color and/or stripe options, I think SRT should get together with the military stealth experts and develop a "change the appearence" button. Activating this button would enable the driver to change the external color/stripe theme!:rolaugh:

Until that arrives the rest of us have two choices: multiple Vipers or meditation!:headbang:

I'm very conflicted. What I "want" is too pricey. So I'm having a big color battle in my head....

How can a couple thousand determing color be a price problem if you can afford a $100K car?

The color I want is 10-15K upgrade (stryker) plus a 5K stripe. So 20 grand does make it tough even at the 100K level. When financing, a company may only be willing to go to 80K and you have to put the rest down which will be 20K. 20 grand is definitely different than 40 grand when it comes to a down payment.

you can't get stryker red with stripes from the factory anyways.

The problem I have is that I do not like the SRT stripes. I would probably pay the 5K for the GTS stripes on my SRT. There is a custom body shop that I have been talking to, their work is very nice, on the other hand, the oem stripes under the paint is also a nice touch.

I don't want to start a rumor, but, I talked to the shop today that paints the factory viper stripe for SRT. It sounds like in the near future there may be an option to do the GTS stripes on the SRT.

I have a had time with the stripes. The SRT stripes most people think are "goofy". You do not see them from the back so who knows if you have stripes unless you are the Highway Patrol flying over your car? In talking to one of the large SRT dealers.....very few GTS are ordered with stripes with the exception of the blue and grey cars. Frankly, how may people are going to pay 14-16K for Stryker red when you can never repair the paint.
