A fun video to watch....

I think (IMO), that if the car had only the roof scoop added it would look pretty good. The extra scoop on the hood is just too much...even if it is (could be) functional.

I do like the side-pipe conversion.

 

[BlackSnake99]

I don't hate it as much as I thought I would. In general I don't like add ons. I actually find the grocery cart rear wing more distracting than the scoop(s).

 

[Chuck 98 RT/10]

Functional rear wing? LOL That wing has four puny little 1/4 inch bolts and washers holding it onto a fiberglass body panel. Hardly what I'd call functional unless "functional" only means not flying off the car at 180mph.

 

[Fatboy 18]

Not too bad, Just needs white hood vents

What the hell is that huge upside down egg cup in the trunk How the hell do you get to the spare, should you need it And that hole in the rear where the exhausts came out needs filling. Oh and Pilot Sport 1 tires!!!!! How old are they, even if they are 'NEW'!!!!!!

Talk about the wind in your hair. He needs a cut. He was blinded for a minute! LOL.

He is either a great salesperson or, I really saw fear in his eyes....twice!

 

[slysnake]

Yeah, wing is the worst. Not sure why the two hood scoops? Is the second one for heat reduction or just cosmetic? Also wonder about the side pipes. There's no clearence there. Doesn't the pipe need some space for movement when it gets hot?

The 2nd scoop wasn't as offensive as I first thought it'd be. It's not "AWESOME!", but it's not "Yank It Off Of There- Quickly!" either.

The stereo is a little out of control, but I think the car is more of a show setup than a race setup. All that stuff is easly pulled and put on Ebay.
Same goes for the wing- mostly show. There are better wings out there.

Newport was right: you can see fear in his eye (singular, because his hair kept falling in front of the other).
Check out 8:45- 9:00.

Who drives a Viper in Lord Boards?
Tsk-tsk.

I really liked the sales concept. It works well for a vehicle like that.
They did a great job with it.

Yea, Did you hear the bit about 32mpg!!!!!!

Can't handle the gills by the hood. Even if they were white. Fugly.

 

[PDCjonny]

Who ever came up with those god awful "gills" as a Viper accessory should be hung.
They are absolutely ridiculous looking. Even ricers got to laugh at those.

 

[ViperGeorge]

I can't decide about the second hood scoop but the car does look well cared for. How much were they asking?

 

[97GTS]

I actually liked everything except the scoops. Sorry, but I am one of the few who like the wing and gills. And I don't like stripes.

Y'know, the Viper is all about bein' INYERFace. I like it. I wouldnt trust that wing on the track, but otherwise its BadA$$!

lol I didnt watch it all but if he said that I'd be ROFL

 

[InjectTheVenom]

Oh crap, someone did NOT try to realise that photoshop where there were scoops all over the length of the hood!

 

[Bobpantax]

There is no accounting for taste or the lack thereof.

Hanged. The word is hanged. We'd all like to be hung.

And yes, +1 on the stupid gills.

 

[99 R/T 10]

The car is an easy fix, nice setup. It's funny, they bought the car at $37K last week and looking to turn it for $45 in this economy......................

I laughed out loud and actually made my wife read this post, I thought it was so funny. Good one.

 

[PDCjonny]

Those gills are dumber than the lil plastic tail light louvers every 65 year old Vette owner has...and that's saying something.

Good to see Chuck has never changed!

We used to have group buys on those things in 2001.... LOL!

They didn't fit my car Thank God!

As was so eloquently stated in the classic movie Blazing Saddles:

Railroad worker: "They said you was hung!"
Sheriff Bart: "And they was right!"

Gawd. From six years ago!

Can you imagine the feeling of pulling up a 2003 thread in 2020 or 2030?

 

[EllowViper]

Finally took a look...don't know what to think. Ad is good. Gills I do not like as well as the second scoop on the hood. I guess if it was functional and open underneath to clear & feed a larger ROE-Whipple blower then maybe...but as it is now no. The roof scoop I have no comment since I went down that same path. I don't know about the rear wing. In the past I did like the Hennessy facia and rear wing...always on the prowl for those. I guess at the end of the day I do not hate it (save for the gills)..but I do not love it either. Just kinda numb to it all. Can you say '**** my Viper'...some of those transformations are just pure ugly.

 

[white out]

That is horrible.

[SylvanSRT]

i dont really like the second hood scoop and the non-functional roof scoop is like ***** on a bull

 

[Tom F&L GoR]

If they had only combined the two scoops it would have come out nice.
