GTS Hood Badges - Need assistance! (pic)

[TriJim]

Fellow GTS Owners --

I'm working on a shadow box displaying each of the GTS Hood badges (while they are still available). The concept is shown below:

The Hot Wheels will come off the blister pack when the shadow box is assembled.

I think the GTS production colors are Blue, Steel Gray, White, Silver, Black, Yellow, Blue Sapphire, and Red (with and without stripes).
So far I have the badges shown (Blue, Gray/Silver, Black, Yellow, Sapphire, and Red).

Here's where I need help:
a) Are there any GTS production colors that I am missing?
b) Are Steel Gray (? graphite) and silver distinct (different) colors and what color badges are on each color car?
c) My Red/White stripe GTS has a Red Sneaky Pete -- Is this true for all of the colors? (Yellow cars have Yellow Pete, Black cars have Black Pete, etc.) Any exceptions?
d) What color badge is on a White GTS? (I have not been able to find a white badge)
e) Any idea why the yellow and black badges do not have the snake skin texture like the others?

Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Side note -- looks like SRT-10s all have silver badges unlike our GTSs with unique badges to match the car color.

That is pretty cool! Can't help ya, but that looks great! I am going to the same thing, good idea.

I'm doing a similar thing to, except my backing panel is sneaky pete shaped with a chrome edge

The white GTS-R had a red vinyl badge, not a metal one

Have you got the right yellow badge ?, it looks on the pic like you've the gen1 yellow slightly lighter in color than the gen2 'race yellow'

Neil -- I recently learned there is yellow and orange-yellow. I have the yellow badge shown and and orange-yellow on order. Do you know which one goes on a yellow GTS? (I thought it was the regular yellow and not sure which color car has the orange-yellow badge.) Also, do you have a picture of the red vinyl badge? Thanks and good luck. Please share a picture when yours is complete.

 

[Neil - UK]

yellow/orange is the GTS color
lighter yellow is the gen1 RT color

not a very good picture of the red vinyl badge

My panel is a couple of weeks away from been ready (the badges are sitting in CA), but I'll stick a pic up when its done

This how my prototype badge board is progressing, waiting for some more badges now. I did a high res scan of a red badge, then digitally removed the sneaky pete off it leaving the snake skin pattern and printed it out on self adhesive vinyl. Next i stuck the print on a piece of plastic foam board and cut to shape then applied a chrome vinyl to the face edge and sides.

The badges are just stuck on with a double sided sticky pad so they can be moved around as I collect more badges. The walls and tire are actually viper red, the light source is playing havoc with the digi camera

So where can you get Dodge Viper Blinds?

It looks like they have green but no Sapphire. Sapphire on my car looks different than theirs. Who knows maybe they are missing green.

The blind was home made, just stuck a vinyl logo on and trimmed along each slat
with a scapal. Yes, I'm missing Sapphire

 

[Neil - UK]

I've just got Sapphire and a Silver Gray, awaiting for delivery.

Question is, was the same badge used on Steel, Silver, Graphite vipers, or are they different ??

Great job, Neil!

Here's mine. Not quite as impressive.

I have 2 of the 2001-2002 "no scale" badges for sale if anybody is interested. Anybody know if the the Sapphire badges have a snakeskin pattern, or if they were the same blue as the '96 cars?
