Just spoke with James from the Viper Concierge.
My Viper left the CAAP about half an hour ago.
Should be home to TN in three or four days.
Anyone see a Reliable Carriers truck heading south get out of the way. LOL
I want my Viper. 23213:drive:

I didn't doubt yours had them, just the photo you posted in the OP the front two were missing. Was more of a joke. My last photo of my car they are also missing.

I noticed them missing after I looked a couple times. I guess I was blinded by lust. I'm at work so I'm admiring everything on my phone. Not the best way but I couldn't wait.

Thanks everyone. Comp. Blue with no stripes really caught my eye. So many beautiful Vipers coming out. Just glad to have mine.

Competition Blue (which in reality is French Blue, that was the color French teams used way back then for racing) also caught my eye ;-)

Congrats! You'll be all smiles in a few days.

I can see a total Mad Max moment here.
I'm about an hour and a half from Knoxville. Out in the middle of nothing. Lots of cows.

Been a great experience, thankful for the opportunity to be part of it.

Still in final assembly. Car is together though getting excited! But no pictures from them this week-yet? In no hurry but should be soon.

That's awesome. I found that most of my updates were on Fridays until the last few, then they started coming in on Wednesday. I hear that there's only one person updating the concierge right now so I'm sure they are busy. The validation pictures are some of the best. I sat in the validation que for two weeks and then one week of validation. I guess you have about a month then. Hoping to do my tour in May. Was told April is full.

Nice. I noticed the Friday updates too. Haven't had any in a bit and none as cool as your validation pictures. I think mines a bit delayed because of plant pickup. Congrats again!

I'm right there with you guys, haven't had my weekly fix this week. Funny how much you start anticipating the updates once the build actually starts, and miss it when it doesn't appear.

Wagnut, your car looks great and congrats on the news.:smileys-car-driving

I will join the rest waiting on the next update......

The Dirty Room is where they do all the sanding and panel prep. First step of painting process. There's a few more weeks of "filler info" and you'll start seeing pictures of you Viper.

THE DIRTY ROOM
3 days ago, 02:39:49 PM
Hi Eddie, Here is what we call the "dirty room", where upwards of 10 Prefix employees prepare each Viper body panel & part for painting. Each panel is hand-sanded to remove any imperfections and to make sure there's a smooth surface for painting. We also mask off the carbon fiber trim to make sure it's protected during the painting process. We’ll have your custom painting pictures to share with you soon! Please let us know if you have any questions in the meantime.

Thanks. I had only seen the color on the computer so I was nervous too. Get it back on Friday for my detailer. Can't wait to see it all cleaned up and ready to go.
