STRIPES!!!! On a 2005 Vert

[Stretch]

So I was kind of craving some stripes recently. I haven't owned a Viper with stripes yet and it looked like fun. Originally I used the gen 5 website to check all kinds of crazy color options before narrowing the search. There's just something about the silver/blue combo from the 99 GTS's that is beautiful. I found a local shop that specializes in custom stuff and I stopped by with the car one afternoon to look through their sample books. That was very overwhelming at first to say the least. I picked a few options and put them in the sun with the car. As soon as I saw Satin Perfect Blue from 3M I knew that was definitely the color. Gave them the deposit that day.

Fast forward to a couple weeks later. I took the day off work so that I could spend the day at the shop. They were going to do stripes on the Viper as well as window tint on my Dart.

Some of the in process and final pictures:

The guy did an incredible job with these. I am very pleased. He may have also been a bad influence because the car is going back for a few more custom touches next week :cool:

[plumcrazy]

looks perfect !

I was not an original stripe fan either with my '01 Sapphire blue roadster. But, like you, it began to grow on me with my '08 convert.

That blue POPS! Looks beautiful! But not in your first pic. ;)

[Steve-Indy]

Agree that it looks GREAT !!

[V1P3R]

Looks Great!

[J TNT]

Nice Stretch , now change the hood to a gen 4 and your set ! ;)

[sssammm]

I had the stripes painted on my Silver Vert, could not find anyone to lay the vinyl ones
like you have had done, looks brilliant

[kirkinsb]

I have the exact same car....I really like that look with stripes! I like the black lettering behind the front tires too.

[pony23]

Looks great!!!!!

[mnc2886]

This is really well done. The choice of satin blue couldn't have been better. Congrats!

[sidwin]

yeah looks great. looks like they stretched and cut it on the car. i wouldn't have the balls to put a blade on my car. i bought a kit that was precut because i'm chicken ;)

[Stretch]

Thanks everyone!

He did make custom cuts to the vinyl while it was on the car. He showed me how he does it so that the paint is not affected or scratched at all. The guy is very talented that's for sure. I don't think I would try this myself.

[01sapphirebob]

Looks awesome Jason!

Cant wait to see them Saturday!

[jwolf]

Looks good be still kind of tame compared to the YELLOW of the past.

[rboydston]

Looks great, which shop was this? I found a shop in Cincinnati that I am taking mine into for a quote.

[Vprbite]

I like it because it is a little different. Blue goes well on silver but satin blue was never offered. It does look like it was done well too.

Its a place in Erie, PA called Sharper Images and Tint.

[LightningKray]

Hey Stretch, looks great... Will I be able to see it in person at tomorrow's Tech Day? Will you be bringing it if it rains?

[Stretch]

Slightly. Yellow is a fun color to have though.


Hey Stretch, looks great... Will I be able to see it in person at tomorrow's Tech Day? Will you be bringing it if it rains?

Hopefully. I am trying to get down there but there's lots to do before the NVE2 trip, in particular finishing the convoy details so that it can get sent to everyone early next week. So we'll see, it will be a game time decision tomorrow.

[Bill Pemberton]

The classic 98/99 color combo -- looks fantastic!!!

[WestminsterSlim]

Perfect color choice and that install is amazing. Congrats!

[ViperJon]

A lot of shops can "do" vinyl....but your guy is an artist. Looks fantastic.

[St.Char]

Well Done! Love this color combo too. Do you by chance have the stripe dimensions?

I copied the 06 coupe dimensions.

Front: 8 1/8 inch stripe with a 4 1/8 gap
Roof: 8.75 inch stripe (obviously not there but for reference)
Rear: 9 inch stripe

[brickauto]

Can't wait to see her "striped" in person! :)

100% agreed. This guy has incredible skills when it comes to this stuff.

Thanks Stretch!

The stripes looked so good that I decided to have all the logos done in the same vinyl just like the TA's and ACR's. All these were added the Friday before NVE2.

Looks good Stretch ! Hope to see more of it at the "Dream Cruise !" ;)

[mnc2886]

The badges in vinyl look great. I may need to do that.

Thanks! That event is a question mark because it always falls on a bad weekend for me.

Beautiful! If I had kept my silver roadster I was thinking of doing the same thing. The blue on silver does look incredible.

[v10enomous]

Looks great !!!! I have a 98 "Vinyl Edition "

[01sapphirebob]

The Vinyl does look good. So much so that I was thinking about doing the same kind of thing to my '08 :)

[pony23]

I like the logo's. Great touch.

Yes it does. I looked at other colors and just kept coming back to this one because it looks so good.

Dang that looks stock! My blue is lighter than the 98/99 combo but I was limited by colors in vinyl. The one I picked looked pretty good against the silver and I loved the look of the blue shade. It was very dynamic in the sunlight.

I know a guy that can help you with that!!!!

:dude3:

Yea...could be some end of the season mods coming my way. :)

[SmoknTires]

I think it looks great. Vinyl products are also holding up amazingly these days. And when you're sick of it - swap it out. I think it really made the car look richer and blue definitely pops. Definitely looks good in flat.

Thanks! I'm really pleased with how it turned out.

Well done! Were the logos pricey? Im assuming the custom cut them for you?

[MI Viper]

Very Nice!

[Stretch]

Cutting the logos is the easy part. Removing the old ones to prep the area for the vinyl was a pain. So the overall combination was a little pricey but worth it because they look really nice with the stripes.


Very Nice!

Thanks!
