I'm thinking about doing the vinyl stripes on my Black RT/10. Either white, silver,metallic gray, or red but i'm unsure yet. WHat do you guys think the best color combo is?
How much do you think it would cost for a shop to install vinyl stripes?
Anyone have any pics of a black rt/10 or GTS with stripes i could look at?
Thanks guys,
James :usa:

I have been mulling over adding stripes to mine as well this winter. I don't want white as it would look like an FE, I was thinking of black (on a red GTS). Tony the moderator has black on red, I like it very nasty looking. :2tu:

I'd say silver or white. I don't really think red would look so hot. The great thing about vinyl is that if you decide you don't like them, you can peel them off and start again.

Hmmm i'm stuck as to which color to go with, i'm leaning towards silver, but i think the red would look awesome. What kind of shop does this work, like a detailing shop or what?

I added pin stripes to my stripes and I think they look great. I have also had many compliments on the stripes. I would like to get them painted on but the vinyl is good enough for now. I paid about $350.

I have a 2001 ACR in all red. Only 6k miles. Would it kill the value of the car to add the vinyl stripes or even paint it? Considering Silver stripes for more of a factory look. Although those black stripes look insane!

James,
I installed Met. silver vinyl stripes on my RT/10 & the finish product looked
great! I can e-mail you a few pictures if your interested and give you some
advice on installing them yourself since I've already helped other owners
do the same for both GTS & RT's. Good luck in making your decision you really
cant go wrong with vinyl. (Easily removeable)

Now who can install them correctly, I know I can't.
Body shop? Who did yours, *****?

Thanks Guys! I had a local sign shop install them for me. They have done several, but this was their first Viper. May be why I got the price I did. If anyone wants their info, PM me.

Is a sign shop the best choice for an installer? I'm curious why that would be, over say a body shop. I guess because they work with vinyl? I want to have this done, but find an experienced person/shop who won't [******] up the job or the car.

Yah i'm going to look around at body shops and sign shops to see where the best place to get it done is. The hard thing is trying to find someone who wont rip you off just because you have a Viper. If anything they should give you a deal since you'd be telling everyone who did the work and advertising for them. I just dont want them to screw it up like you said Viperjon

When you go around looking for a shop, ask if they've done Vipers, if so, ask to see some pics of their work. Good Luck!
