Choose a number style

[Scott_in_fl]

Well, I've now gone further down the rabbit hole and purchased a pretty serious vinyl cutter to do up decals, abstract stripe patterns, numbers, etc.

Want to do somethign on the side, but need to be very careful not to "go too far" and cheese it up.

I think I'll start off by cutting some small SRT decals for the lower valence, and some numbers for the side. I chose 53 to pay homage to the '98 Le Mans winner.

What do we like better? Top, mid, or bottom?

[BlknBlu]

I like 1

Bruce

[cashcorn]

#2, BOLD & hight lites your wheels. All 3 look badass!

[ViperGarageElite]

1 is simple but sweet

[LifeIsGood]

1...

[Oh Three Z]

Uno

[venum4u]

#1, not a fan of the odd black dot on #2 and 3

[Fourtrax250r]

#1 definitely

[capevettes]

1. Clean and neat.

[JPL]

I like 1, but could you try the number in a dark gray or black?

[SRT BILL]

#1 looks the best

[13COBRA]

#1, but I'd do it in black.

[ViperNC]

I like #2. Looks like you will have many different opinions so go with what you like the most.

[Ghost410]

3 for me. I love the black roundell and offset number

[ViperGeorge]

I would center the number on the door, no roundell. I might also outline the numbers in black instead of silver. Leave the numbers themselves in silver though.

[Meteoro]

#1 the best

[blingnoring]

the SRT looks great. i'm not a fan of numbers but if u must, the first one looks best imo, maybe move the number more towards the front of car another inch or 2 away from the door gap?

[Back In Black]

The top...1

[q8blueviper]

1 clean and simple

[Arizona Vipers]

I think they all look great. Personal preference on going with the meatball or not is up to you!

[Murpowa]

i'm not a fan of numbers

Agreed.

How about something more creative? Added strips, checkered pattern, black and white American flag on the roof, etc

Scott, this is along the lines of what I was thinking also.

You've been experimenting with customizing the car's appearance for quite a while, continue to try different things, and since you've now bought a vinyl cutter I'm thinking you're not planning to stop anytime soon. If I'm right the tame numbers will satisfy you for only about an hour. It feels like you may be creeping towards something more creative. Embrace your creativity and let it off the chain! The Viper is a great canvas to let loose on. I think I'd avoid straight lines due to the car's curves, and go a little more organic and abstract. Maybe place the number on a waving checkered flag that morphs into a flowing pattern kind of idea. Play around with bold for a while to see how you feel about that and then reign it in a bit if it doesn't feel right.

Otherwise I'm down with #3 as straddling the 2 panels looks more interesting.

[Viper98]

#1 looks best. Very classy. You already have enough black: wheels, sills, strakes, fender louvers, etc. The back dot would be too much. Reminds me of ricers.
Move the number forward 2-3inches. Vertical placement is perfect.
The 5 could be mistaken for an S. Maybe try a different font.
Thin black outline: maybe. Jury is still out.
IMHO

BEAUTIFUL RIDE

[ACRSNK]

I would say 1 but I would leave it off all together car looks the best with just the orange stripes

[ACR Steve]

2 looks hot

[1ststrike]

Love the looks of number 1

- - - Updated - - -

Love number 1

[Snakebit10]

All look nice but #2 fits perfect with your color scheme imho.

If you went with 1 or 3 why not make the 53 edge orange instead of blue, to tie in your stripe?

I missed that his car had orange stripes. I see them now in his Avatar picture. I agree with you numbers would tie in better if they were orange.

[13COBRA]

Which vinyl cutter did you get?

[Whiskey]

I'm in the minority but no number looks best IMHOP. The ACR is extreme looking without adding anything to it.

As a track worker, one of my biggest peeves is guys who go too fancy on their custom decals. Sure they look cool, but they defeat the entire purpose. #1 and #3 look great in the pit or at a car show, but I have to go with #2 if that thing is going to be flying by me out there. It stands out that much more, and it is nice and clear.

I'm with you! The middle one is fantastic and will be easy to see as it flashes by you at 150 mph.

p.s. Scott please call or text me, check DMs.

[512BB]

The first one is my favorite. If you go with the black circle, put the 5 on that so the circle sits on the bottom left of the passenger door and in that way the curves don't conflict with each other! Hope that makes sense.

[quickster2]

Top nice & clean does not mess up the lines of the car.

Unless it's a full out race car on track....I understand having sponsors for racing, I'm totally fine with that. In this case it appears to be just that.

But on the street I'd think "What a attention whore, must not get enough nookie at home...wonder if his wife is ugly." Ever see those riced out Honda's....that's the viper equivalent if it's street driven.

Again, I'm probably the minority here, and I'm ok with that. I still think a stock look ACR is plenty of flash for the street.
