A little TLC and you'll be lovin it. Graphite w/stripes is a sweet combo. Welcome to Viper Mania. Sign up, join the local club and enjoy

Is that a custom 3 tone hood???

PM Dave 6666 I think he has some custom "white" hood vents he might let go cheap, lol

That is an interesting hood color combo. But I have always loved the graphite color. The first Viper I ever saw was that color. If they had that option for 08 I would of had a difficult choice to make. Congrats on your Viper purchase-enjoy.

Exactly! That's what I was thinking. I can't wait to start the build. Post those classifieds guys I need tons of ****. My fiance has named it "skittles "because it's got a little of every color in it lol. That's gotta change.

DUDE!!!

FELLOW TEXAN!

Whaddup???


Yeah, you will need the How To section for sure. Should be the next 100 bucks you spend.

Then, call Chuck Tator, ask him how many deviled egg recipes he serves at TatorToga, and you have the best parts connection this side of Pluto and Mars.

Well, unless you're looking for my WHITE HOOD VENTS that ROCK!!!

Welcome! That's going to be a fun project but will look awesome when you're done. I'd start with Chuck Tator. He can at least get the history of that Viper for you and get you a very nice discount on parts, not to mention his endless tech tips. For used parts, I'd call ViperPartsLarry.com, Don Scharf, XVipers to name a few. Please post pics of your progress.

You got the car, so you ARE a part of the community. WELCOME!

PartsRack dismantles 'organ donor' cars for good parts, and we'd be happy to discuss a 'budget' solution to your project. We are not flea-bay cheap, but we know what fits and works and what wont....and if you WANT scratch-n-dent parts for flea-prices we can probably do THAT, too.

I'm not greedy with advise!!! I'm trying to help you out with your much needed parts connections!!! Pay attention!

Anyway, I do keep a constant eye out on used parts. Just for fun mostly, but I'm going to be a used Gen 2 Viper parts info bank some day! Well, not to replace the likes of Paul Scharf, V'Larry or X2, but shoot me a PM with your major needs, and maybe I can help you.

And hey dude... Who set that hood on? :crazy2:

Nice find. So it drives then? If so, would be interested in reading your thoughts on it. Got a builder myself (not as nice as yours) that I probably wont be able to drive yet for a couple weeks at least. Really hoping the snow holds off for awhile. These gts's are so friggin cool you could rattle can that thing with walmart flat black and it would still look bad as hell.
