Wow,LOL, I asked for it and I appreciate ALL the feedback...
Ben,I dont intend on doing ANY paint work until next year..I ordered the SSG with the black centerband because I intended to get the drivers stripe wheather offered by Dodge (which I REALLY wanted) or have it done by a paint shop...I also thought about a solid SSG with black stripes but I love the exposed C/F wing and it would of looked like my old 08 Coupe,nice but not ACR different...To me besides the aero what sets the ACR apart is the body color and the black centerband complete with DS in body color....
I had Austin make up the dual stripe PS because I did want to see how it would look...I like it but agree with some that it looks a little busy as it kind of throws your eyes and does give an illusion of 3 black stripes...Maybe if the stripes were a touch larger (like 06 stripes?) it would look better....I thought about vinal but I want to do it once and thats it....
As far as different colors...no way ...has to be ssg/black as I love the contrast and black always looks mean...As far as originality thats where the dual stripes or fang stripes or other colors could be a problem....I really dont think adding a SSG DS would hurt its value as its keeping in the original ACRs scheme and I doubt I will either A) have the car that long,lol B) Live long enough to see its value rise to a point where its worth selling for profit....UNLESS it was put away with factory miles and left for a future family member..C) No kids just my wife and 2 Scotty dogs so thats out of the question,lol....
I know Iam really getting ahead of myself since I dont even have the car and who knows with me maybe I will love the look of the Black centerband and just leave it stock as some suggested...I know ACRs are already wild but I think most people like to do SOME personal touches to their Vipers so we will see...
I REALLY do want to thank Austin again and all of you who submitted suggestions and keep them coming...Maybe I should open up a contest to PAINT KEVINS ACR,lol..Kevin
