All.

I'm new to the world of Viper ownership and have a pretty basic question. Where does everyone like to order there parts from? I just purchased a 2013 GTS and want to modify it a little. I would like to add the TA front splitter, lower dive planes and rear spoiler. Also what brake pads does everyone like to use? EBC Yellow Stuff? Finally does anyone use a Simpson 6 point harness? I have seen that many people are fans of the TeamTech ones, but I was curious about Simpson as they have made all of my belts for me for many years and I have only run Simpson suits, helmets, etc and am very partial to the brand.

Everyone is gonna say Jon at part rack.
He's a good option and I have bought from him. Good guy. feel free to just google. I bought my lug nuts through a truck shop, my exhaust through an Internet wholesaler, headers and PCM through arrow through mark at Woodhouse and so on.
Nth is good. Calvo can source stuff. Check the vendor forums too.

5 vipers since 1999, my 2 cents -

JonB, parts rack, their motto says it all, if it fits on a viper, they sell it. Always best pricing that I've seen & Jon is a great guy and knows just about everything.

If he were abducted by aliens (well, not that extreme, as I've bought from Mark myself) would be Mark J, Woodhouse Motorsports Division (WMD), also knows just about everything & is a great guy.

Andy W at Viper Exchange should be on the list, not sure about their pricing, I haven't had good experiences with their customer service on trying to buy a car from them, but that's a different group, Andy not only knows everything, he uses it all, his car is a beast because he knows what he's doing. Great advice, great guy, nice to throw some money in the direction of someone so helpful to our group.

I add my $.02 as well, Jon B is top notch and bends over backwards for his customers.

Be careful buying from online "Mopar parts houses." Typically, it's just some dealer trying to make some money in their parts department. If you order from them and they don't stock it (and they never keep the stuff you'll need in stock), they have to order it and have it sent to them, then they turn around and send it to you. This makes for a long wait time on your parts.
