The new Blue Batmobile revealed (PICS)

[Blue Batmobile]

First off, I want to give mad props to Ben Keating for making this all happen. He and his crew made my vision come true. He oversaw the entire project in Texas while I waited anxiously in San Diego. Thank You Ben Keating

Paint Scheme is done in ala ACR in what I like to call Stealth Black (aka matte black), with factory GTS Blue Stripe. I'm loving the Stealth Black, but it's extremely High Maintenance! Especially since there is no clear coat over it. I will be getting the car dropped with KW Variant 2 Coilovers, Corsa Track Exhaust, refinish the wheels in possibly Stealth Black, get the windows tinted 20% in the rear and 35-50% on the sides. I am replacing the black fang bumper badge side side badges with GTS Blue ones to tie in with the Stripe . Enjoy!

HAHA being a night owl lets me be the first to say WOW! Sick color combo! Never would have thought that combo would look so good! Seriously sinister

 

[Darbgnik]

PS. H-spokes rock!!

 

[Blue Batmobile]

haha! Bingo!

[sween]

Wow! looks great, Let the mods begin!

 

[Hiss]

Looks great Bat

 

[BlknBlu]

That is the greatest color combo ever, with black wheels it will look even better if that is possible.

Looks great Bat! Yes, those matte black areas will be frustrating to upkeep, they scuff very easily and there isn't a way of removing the scuff. I have similar color stripes on my Harley.

If you go matte black wheels, keep a polished lip. I'd go with a custom 3-piece wheel using the graphite on the lip with a matte black center.

PS. H-spokes rock!!

That was my first thought when I saw the pic's. I'm really starting to like the H spokes
more and more. Bat AWESOME job again, your vipers always stand out with your choice
of colors. Now you know graphite vipers are also the fastest.

 

[Alexarz]

It looks great, Bat! I would leave the wheels alone, despite what others suggested. Too much black will ruin what you created. It looks terrific as is. In fact, I think it looks better than any of the ACR color combinations coming from the factory.

Stunning!!

 

[texas_venom]

Looks beautiful. I know that flat blck is a pain to keep so keep us informed on how it goes. Are you going to bring it up to Super Car Sunday in Calabasas sometime?

 

[06blueviper]

Incredible looking car. An ACR wing and wheels would be the icing on the cake.

 

[Smog Dog]

I love that last picture! And I, too, would leave the H wheels alone.

[Tiago]

Very nice!!!!

 

[wallbanger]

Very nice.. looks like a slate viper

Just get the hrims chromed and u'll have a showstopper

 

[ivanrho]

Nice project! Glad to see you're back in full swing!

 

[TexasSnake]

That turned out kick@$$!!! Very nice!!!

 

[ZO6KLR]

Great color scheme Bat. I think the car would be sinister after the height adjustment and I think that matte black centers and a black chrome lip would be the best scenario. This is after you purchase your new Iforged/HRE's. Good luck on the maintenance on the flat clear. Great to see you back in the Snake Seat.

 

[Austin]

Sorry, but Im not diggin' it. Your past SRT's looked much better IMO.

 

[repiv]

looks great!

 

[Jroc]

360forged, matte black face with a graphite color matched lip. COMPLETE!

Your my hero

 

[Alexarz]

I think it is fantastic but I think the Aero wing and a front splitter would add to the ACR look. Please leave the wheels alone! In my opinion, black ACR wheels would ruin the car.
You hit a homerun, BAT!

 

[SnakeBitten]

Very nice not bad at all but I prefered the white one much better. Not too thrilled with the rims but who cares, you like it. Would love to see you put on the ACR pieces if they become available or maybe the Street Serpent kit. The front is screaming for a lower facia piece. Maybe the drop will aleviate that need.

BTW I predict you will get tired of the maintenance on that non clear coat matte finish lol. You will go through paint jobs faster than you go through cars on this one.

 

[Austin]

He'll sell it before he has to wash it.

I will stick with stock wheels for now and get them refinished. Most likely in matte black or gunmetal. Wanna do some photoshops first to see what it will look like. Long term plans are either iforged Astras with matte black centers and polished lips, or I'm tempted to try out 360Forged wheels, though I'm not sure they make any wheels for the Viper.

probably looks much better in person, not much contrast between the 3 colors and the sun was harsh in the pics.... the wheels don't seem to go with the car though, GTS blue 5 spokes might bring out the stripe, or black wheels with the GTS blue rim perimeter, like the orange coupe I've seen here.... look forward to seeing the wheel choice....

 

[v10nut]

That is one beautiful ride! congrats. Looks even better in person.

Well, the matte finish is subtle compared to the high gloss that comes with the factory paint scheme, so the differences are subtle. The wheels will be refinished or replaced, that's on my list.

Great job Bat! I'm glad you decided to go with the GTS blue stripe. And thanks for granting my Christmas wish!

nice chop! Can you do the same thing with the profile picture? Maybe drop the car a bit as well?
