Just did the Dual Pinstripes...What do ya think????

[wiseasp]

After seeing some with it, I liked the look. I went to several sign shops and they wanted anywhere from $480 to $550 to do it. I went to a local bodyshop supplier, bought a 150 foot roll of 3M black 1/4 pinstripe for $13.00 and did it myself. The hardest part was that NACA duct opening. It took me about 2 1/2 hours and I saved some money for some other Viper stuff .

Here is a pic of the car stock, no black chrome wheels, no pinstripes, no painted GTS emblems, not lowered, no clear corners and no chrome gas cap door...

I like it. Did you black chrome the wheels?

 

[Blue Pilot]

Rob NICE JOB! I really like it, it adds to the car. Now you have something unique to the other bumblebee's out there!

KEEP IT!

 

[FE+ACR]

Gorgeous!

I like it. Did you black chrome the wheels?

No, That is all the brake dust from the stock pads ...

YES I did Black Chrome the wheels. First I had them Chromed, so I could keep the outer edge chrome, then I had the Black Powder Coat applied to just the middle. They look GREAT.

My cross drilled rotors should arrive Thursday and then I am going to change the rotors and the pads to EBC Green's.

Thanks

Pinstripes look right on. Reminds me how the pin stripes look great the same way on the original 96 white with blue stripe and black/ silver R/T 10. Also what looks great is that the stripes don't continue through the back license plate. Since the wheels are black and your putting on the cross drilled rotors, if they are Eradispeed, you may want to have the black hat hubs on the rotor painted yellow or chromed to brighten them up a bit so they get noticed. One friend anodized the Eradispeed hats blue on a 96 Blue GTS and it made the rotors come alive.

I Like......... Also personal taste but I like the stripes through the plate area, ck out my avatar, to me it completes the yellow & black.

enjoy !

 

[DodgeViper01]

Nice, I also love the plate.

 

[Donzi]

Nice look, what do you do when you wax it? Wont the wax build up around the tape?

 

[Yellow Fever]

Looks Awesome !! I've been considering getting mine done.

 

[Casey]

That looks great!

 

[IEATVETS]

Very nice. It really adds to the look of the car. But I have always liked that color combo. Good job.

 

[twinvipers]

Any pic's without to compare. I think it looks great. Have the stripe, but haven't gotten around to doing mine. Did you do it yourself ? Any advise ?

 

[1MEANSNAKE]

Should have contacted me We have done several daily on the Vipers. Now if i can only find the time to do our own lol.

PS they turned out beautiful!

 

[V 10 MAFIA]

Jeff, just what you were looking for. I was just going to call you about this thread.

An old soft tooth brush works good..

I love it! "Also personal taste but I like the stripes through the plate area"

Me too about the plate area but either way it looks great!

First off, thanks guys for the comments .

I did add a BEFORE pic.

Yes I did it myself. I wiped down the areas with alcohol and then just went from there. I used about 40 feet out of a 150 foot roll. That was even with A LOT of screw ups. Luckily I have a lift and did the front and back bumpers up in the air so it was at eye level. Take your time and for the NACA duct I removed it (just pop hood and loosen up 6 nuts) and did the tape inside the small opening around the duct too. DO NOT pull the tape hard, this will stretch out the tape and distort the line.

Good Luck.

Excellent. Looks good.

 

[JGK95]

Mean! Mean Lookin' Bee!

[CHAD]

Very nice.

[Simms]

Both styles look great. But the dual pin stripes look awesome with the powdercoated wheels.

 

[superdavz]

Very nice. I like it better than the single stripe.

 

[STUGOTS]

I never really liked the stripes but those look good and the plate matches perfect.

Congrads man

 

[BobK898]

Agree, I never cared much for the black stripes on the yellow, but with the pin stripes added it really looks good. Nice job.

 

[ACELLR8]

The pin stripes look great!! Car just downright looks mean!!

I like the tag too!!
