Ugly but some people are just really into car shows and stuff..Be nice to show..

To everyone at the show it's a 90K car called a viper that looks like a actual viper...

To us it's a ugly paint job

:D We could be a comedy team.


In all seriousness someone put a large portion of time and effort into making their Viper personalized. The paint work was probably not cheap either I am guessing.
To each his own and I hope he enjoys every minute of his special ride.

It really isnt blended enough and the stripes dont help at all. Looks like they simply bolted on a different facia.

I agree that the body paint is "too much" but the engine looks interesting. As stated elsewhere: To each their own.. :dunno:

hey it probably looks great if you are like 7 yrs old. I still can't believe someone paid for this.

Took some talent to do, but sad to see a cars good looks ruined.
Sorry but having a good buddy who is in the airbrush illustration business (he specializes in guitars) that is horrible work. On the level of a t-shirt painter on Venice beach. Here are some examples of bud's work:

No, no! I disagree. The artwork on the Viper is pretty darn good, even though it ruined the value of the Viper. Your buddy's talents, on the other hand, borders on genius. I would rather have that Johnny Cash guitar in my house than the original Mona Lisa.

Now personally I don't think it's too bad as for those other pics of viper customer painted. Well it's their car and they have to realize many wont like it. And I personally know how that's like! Lol whether it's paint or some custom mod there always some negative perspective taken. But no way in the
World will I ever want to see or say that it should be wrecked!?!
That's like saying drive that car into a tree! I really wish that some people could just keep their opinions to a point where it's either a ya or na. Ya know what I mean? That's just my 2 cents. And besides I am sure the owner is happy in his own world. Hey it's his money right?

I have enjoyed this bumped....I would have never seen otherwise.

Just because something is unique does not make it pretty. Looks like something a Ricer would do.

Interesting tidbit of Viper history, I believe Chris Barone (now an advertiser on our VCA website as Chris' Collision) was truly the first guy to add "fangs" (actually, I believe he gave the facia a full set of sharks teeth) to a Viper (his race car).

If you look at some REALLY old issues of Viper Mag (Viper Quarterly!), his car was in some photos.

Wow, am I getting old. This must have been back in '97 or so.
