Just changed from my old wheels (photo below) to the newer wheel, chromed. I also have some new silver decals that were added to the rear bumper that I will post photos of later. Hope to see some of you this weekend at the San Diego meet.

Hey Jonathan,

Yeah, the car is coming along ;) Was going to put a stereo in it, but got quoted a ridiculous amount to where the labor was twice that of the actual component costs. Need to find a new place. Will check out your link as soon as I get home -- gotta jet.

Hey Manny, my old car looks great! BTW-the car we picked up can be seen at www.competitioncoupe.com
Congrats-the car looks great!

I like the look of the 96-98 wheels over all others, but when the color match well....... I just wish the 96-98's had been 18's

OK, downloaded the other pics. This isn't the best pic, but I couldn't find chrome lettering for the rear bumper. Even JonB at PartsRack said there wasn't any, so I ordered some gray/silver ones from JonB and didn't like them, as they didn't match the chrome ones on the side of the car.

Luckily, the other Jon over at West Coast Vipers in Temecula, Ca. was awesome enough to have a guy he knows custom make some chrome sticker deals that go on there, so now I have the nice chrome lettering to match the chrome rims, instead of the ugly orange lettering. Here's a pic of the rear bumper, and you can see the side ones in the other pics:

And in this image you can of course see the original car and how it is very difficult to see the emblems when they are in orange:

It's back to the shop next week for some sound and power upgrades.

By the way, for those of you in California, who own a Canary Palm, like the one in the background, it's funny how much those things are worth. I had a contractor offer me $3,500 to dig up the tree and take it out of my yard. I guess in that size, they sell for around $6,000 if you want one. Wow, that is almost a Supercharger!!! Ha!

What a difference! The wheels really add flash, nice R/T.
Red Vipers are a catch :) .

Very sharp, Manny. Looks like an entirely different Viper compared to the old pic. Nice job.

Manny,

Why don't you negotiate with the tree buyers liquidate it and get yourself a SC? I think it's a good trade a little less shade for a lot more horses...

That was the car I experienced the thrill of 3.55 gears in! Cost me a $1,000 dollars after I rode in it. Get rid of the tree! Get a supercharger when it comes out! Have you driven a stock 3.07 car?

RedSled I shot 2 under the other day in our trade winds out here Yea baby!
Went to the long putter works great.

VERY, VERY NICE! Nice clean, classic look and like the rear spoiler...a touch of attitude. Makes me miss my original 17" wheels. Can you provide contact info. for the custom chrome badging?

Re: New Photo - added the chromed wheels

West Coast Vipers in Temecula, Ca. does the custom emblems. I don't have the # handy, but you can call 411 and get it there. Just let em know you saw Manny's red RT/10 with the custom made chrome emblems and you want em too.
