"Slate" with '08...

[treesnake]

I was able to get one of rare "slate" 06 coupes. Only 31 made. If you have never seen one of these cars, they are beautiful. The pearl paint is incredible.
I was able to get the '08 hood (painted to match) Eibachs, spring caps, "Copperhead" wheels with Sport cups, shifter and a Quaiffe from Mike at XVIPERS. He got the parts and installed them in about one week after I took delivery of the car from him. As far as that goes, Mike has gotten my last three Vipers. Great Service

That's awesome! Great color, and the 08 hood looks perfect in that color combo. Great looking setup all around!

You are right about the color. One of our Georgia members has a slate vert, and the pearl color is fantastic. Love the 08 hood.

 

[KenricGTS]

That is just beautiful! Looks very close to my 997 turbo color wise.

That is the BEST looking coupe I have seen. The stripes
are perfect, they look sooooooooooo much better then what
the 2008 cars have. You are one lucky SOB.

Beautiful Viper-Really like the hood.

BTW-How does the Viper perform with the sport cups.

 

[Nader]

Very nice. Mike is first class.

 

[MTGTS]

Nice, never seen that color before

Treesnake, thanks for the pictures of the 08 hood. I just ordered my 08 hood from Mike @ xvipers also. I can't wait to get it painted and installed. Your car is "awesome"!!!

85 of 200... Here are some dif. angles to show the Eibachs with Spring caps. Mike (XVIPERS) got an alignment done the day after the install of the springs.
This is the car I will be bringing to "The Lake" for you to install the "parking assist" (laser jammer) this weekend.

85 of 200.. this may give you a better idea of how your car would look. This car is also set up with Eibachs and spring caps.

Hiss
The car is completely different with the Sport Cups. The car is "stuck" to the road. I have been trying to get some time to get a Quaiffe installed that I got from Mike also. Between the Sport Cup tires and Quaiffe, the car should be "fun" to drive. I do have my "star" wheels with PS2's for any distance driving...like this weekend.

Now that is a good looking coupe!

Not sure but believe there are only 28 Slate Coupes for the US and the rest went to Canada. Of the 28 , 14 have stripes, and 14 are solid. This has been altered ,as a Dealer painted one of the solid cars , so there are now 15 with stripes , though this one is obviously not factory.

Enjoy, great color.

Treesnake - the car looks killer, but as a fellow slate/silver coupe owner I might be a little biased.

Bill - do you have a breakdown of production numbers that takes Sirius into account? I remember seeing in Viper mag that there were only 4 slate/silver coupes built with H-spoke wheels but I'm wondering how many of those 4 have Sirius.

 

[SnakeEye]

Dang the slate looks good.

 

[got one]

Dang the slate looks good.

Ya, yours isn't so bad looking itself. Black vs. Slate, the Slate really did make a big difference!

 

[Leslie]

omg is that Viper awsome!

I am jealous!!! (in a good way) promise I won't stalk your car

 

[Hirohawa]

Love that color!

 

[Bill Pemberton Woodhouse]

Concerning the Slate with Sirius , it would not surprise me if there are only a couple, as we had 7 of the total ( Coupes ) and the one I bought from another Dealer to get to 7 was a H spoke Slate Coupe, stripes and Sirius.
