New to me Gen 3 coupe :)

[Mdeniz]

So a couple of weeks ago I finally made one of my childhood dreams a reality by picking up a viper. its been almost 2 years since I said good bye to my wide body 1200whp supra, and its felt like 10, but thankfully I"m back in the saddle of a sports car, the car is an 06 Coupe with 20" HREs, borla exahust, short shifter, and 13k miles.

Since I bought it, I've installed the ARP carbon lip, BC Racing Coil overs, and hopefully within the next 2 weeks I can do the black stripes and black lips on the wheels. This is what it looked like 3 weeks ago when i bought it:

Welcome to the site. The car looks great. Love the Blue / Silver combo.

 

[St.Char]

Welcome! The car looks awesome, I particularly like black lip on the wheels and leaving the outer edge blue, nicely done

 

[Vipes]

Looks sweet! Did Irish Mike do your alignment after you dropped it?

 

[pony23]

Sharp looking car. I like the color combo.

Thank you!, though as of tomorrow it will be blue/black stripes combo

I haven't aligned it since the drop 2 weeks ago. I'm still messing with the ride heights, i just went down another 1/4 of an inch in the front so now it sits even with the back

They are absolutely awesome, Tim @ BC Racing is the man. car rides better than stock, and I haven't even started playing with the stiffness settings. It definitely feels a lot less "springy" than it did stock.

do you know where those coilovers are made?

Vinyl or plastidipped?

 

[Mdeniz]

Vinyl, plastidip is garbage IMO

 

[1bad540]

I thought the silver stripes were awesome.

 

[98intrigue]

Looks awesome!

 

[georgethedog]

I thought the silver stripes were awesome.

Yes, I thought so too... I like the black, but not as much. I'm actually not a fan of stripes on Vipers not because they don't look good, but because every Mustang on the road has the same stripes.

 

[ACRucrazy]

Hope the BCs last. They have been around for several years in the sport compact/import world.

 

[SWolff]

I've been contemplating doing black stripes on my blue/silver. Definitely made my decision easier. Looks awesome

 

[Mdeniz]

Finally getting the wheels redone, and addressing other small details

Can't wait to see it all put back together, I know I said I like the blue barrels, but I believe you're going the right direction, great job!

 

[Nsane1]

Oh thats gonna be sick!

 

[Mdeniz]

Thanks guys, I also had the inner barrels done in gloss black/clear to make it easier to clean so it should look awesome up close for those people that are detailed oriented

 

[St.Char]

Very cool...love those black barrels, should look awesome.

Great looking car, looking forward to seeing it at the next Central Florida Get together
