Will adding stripes effect value?

Will adding stripes effect value? Or are they like Vettes and hold their value better when left original?

In general, original condition brings more money.

Pretty much what I thought. Got a lead on a car but it has no stripes. They are asking way too much for it anyway so I guess it is not a big deal. Cars on consignment.

If you want a stripe car, you should buy a stock one...There are certainly plenty around, you just have to look. You will save yourself a lot in the short AND long run.

Who cares, buy it, drive it and do what YOU want and have fun. After all it’s just a car. If you are that concerned then don’t drive it and let it sit so you don’t diminish its valve.

Unless of course if the car already has some minor blemishes like mine
did, then stripes probably won't make much of a difference. You could
always go vinyl too - that way they can be removed. You'd still have
to worry about paint fade.

Exactly! Drive it and be happy.

If your concerned with value then do vinyl stripes that can be removed if need be.

IMO a viper looks plain without stripes

I can get you a set of vinyl stripes if your interested? We have stripe kits in stock =)

I think you may have misinterpreted my point. AgentF1 does NOT own a Viper yet. He is currently looking to buy one. I was only suggesting that buy one already striped because it would save him time and money. If he already owned a Viper and wanted stripes, I would be all for adding them to it. BTW....your stripes look great. If I did not have an emerald green Viper w/ tan interior, i would probably stripe mine too.
