*New* viper owner northern new Jersey

[Black1sb3tt3r]

Hello and greeting to all. I am a new viper owner (2004 red with black stripes 40k+ miles) in the nj area. I've searched for a solid viper forum and this seem to be the best place to start.
With that's being said I have a few questions.

1. Thinking about obtaining a front spilter with canards, how hard is it to install these items, does it require drilling into bumper? Or straight bolt on to where anyone can install said parts?

2. The only problem with car is the dash trim where the radio and controls are is in pretty bad shape (cracked and screw holes no longer hold it in place) so I need to replace it. Saw one online for 400+$
Was some type of carbon fiber hydrodiped replacement.. that's pretty expensive for some piece of plastic. So how can I can about getting a stock oem part and how much do they normally go for?

3. And finally, how can I go about doing a meet for viper owners in the nj area?

The front canards are easy to install they rivet on from the outside. the hardest part is finding the correct position for the upper one but it's not bad around $800.00 for the set of 4 plus shipping

The front splitter you have 2 choices a air dam or true a true front splitter
The air dam is easy to install and is more cosmetic also much less expensive around $800.00 plus shipping The full front ACR style front splitter will run around $4000.00

These guys have a double din mod for the Gen 3 Viper that might be a better option for you

Are you going to put a full splitter & dive planes without a wing? . Unsafe over 100 mph.

 

[Bill Pemberton Woodhouse]

Agreed ... pushes the front end down and the rear end gets light. Similar concern with just a wing --pushes down the rear , so the front end gets light and fun time with steering. Good comment by Shooter and one many should consider before modding.
