Shes Back!!

[01sapphirebob]

So I am never one to mod my cars but I had an offer come my way a few weeks ago that was just too good to turn down. Well...I got the car back yesterday and I could not be more excited. On the non performance side I swapped my hood and trunklid for someone elses. It has really changed the appearence of my car. Hopefully ill get some better pictures on a sunny day but these will have to do for now...:D


How it looked when she was stock..

How she looked after "The Hood" was installed...

Now onto the performance stuff. :) We swapped some very good performance items. I ended up getting a full belanger exhaust with high flow cats, MOPAR PCM, and a quaife rear end with 3.55's. The car just sounds awesome now with the exhaust.

Pics of exhaust...

This is to show throttle response and how the car sounds when you get on it...

Overall I am happy with what I had done. The only thing that sucks is the weather! It's gonna be really hard to find a nice day to take her out and see how she drive now as compared to before. :drive:

[Nambo]

Looks and sounds fantastic, nicely done.

Hood looks SWEET! Beautiful! Nice job.

Hard to comment on the rear spoiler since I'd like to see it from the rear.

The trunk pad... I may want this? Is it custom or an available part?

[Fatboy 18]

Fantastic, that looks great :)

[Bill Pemberton]

Was wondering at first about the lack of no rear stripes and then kept scrolling down , and viola, stripes and wing. Really like the rear end treatment and the spoiler on the back looks fantastic. Nice execution and really a stand out SSG !!!

[eucharistos]

nice upgrades, congrats

pls post up what you think of the 3.55's once you get a change to test them out

[slowhatch]

Looks awesome, SSG is my favorite color.

Thanks. I can't take all the credit as the parts were swapped from someone elses car but the attention to detail is FASNTASTIC! Prefix had done the stripes. The trunk pad was custom and done by the original owner of the parts. The fanges emblem even light up but I have to connect a power surce to it for that to happen. The spoiler really looks food. I just don;t have a great picture if it yet.

Will do. I'm excited to get the car out. I just have to wait for a nice day. They are forecasting snow here next week. :( We'll see what happens...

Thanks!

[Leslie]

Oh emm gee! Nicely done!

Probably feels you got a new Viper huh?

oh....and your Viper sounds hungry, better feed her haha!

[01sapphirebob]

Sure does. :D Just hoping for some good weather. Friday might work.

[Stretch]

The car looks great Bob!!!! Now drive it up here so I can see it in person :D

[pony23]

Car looks fantastic. I really like the new racing stripes. From one of the pictures it looks like the stripes are done in snake skin?

[Nixon's SRT]

They look great, seen them in person and the paint work of the stripes is amazing. Im sure Alex wont miss them at all when his new toy arrives

[VYPR BYT]

Bob, that hood looks sweeeet.
Can't wait to see/hear it in person... maybe at the spring party... hint-hint

(and forget about the 2way radio, you can keep it... just give me the keys to that beast and we'll call it even)

You are correct sir! :)

Yea...I've got him chomping at the bit for his new toy. He says he current looks so "plain" now.

Thanks Mike! That almost sounds like an even trade. ;)

[DARKNHT]

and THAT is why SSG owns.... Awesome car!

Coming from the Dark Knight!!!

Coming from the Dark Knight!!!

Hahah that color wasn't avail... Bruce Wayne is flashy, SSG is the BW persona

[J TNT]

Looks awesome ! Where did you get the 6 hood vent vinyl graphics from ?
Thanks Jay

[01sapphirebob]

Heres some more shots of the rear end. The one I took that was a dead on shot of the back I cant get to load. I'll keep trying...

[HyperViper]

Wow! Good move on your part to make the swap. Looks awesome.

[Newport Viper]

Looks great! Better wax it. I see snow in your future

[Nine Ball]

Looks great. It could be perfect with these suggestions:

SSG brake calipers
SSG valve covers
Lowering
Black aftermarket wheels

Perfection.

[A2008]

I thought your car looked nice with the solid black stripe! But I gotta say the dual stripes really bring that car and color out. Of course I might be just a little predjuce here!! A2008 Blue w/ dual Silver stripes!

[hawk02]

Love the color, looks awesome......

[Resident Alien]

Tasteful mods and well executed! I'd echo the lowering suggestions. It will absolutely transform the car into something 100x more exotic looking, especially an SSG. I'm attaching a few pictures of a friend's slammed SSG next to my red SUV (before I had it lowered a bit).

[JETSTAR]

Very nice
The Black stripes on the Green really makes the car pop
enjoy

[KRATEDISEASE]

looks like a "vert' to me

[VENOM V]

Looks fantastic Bob!

[SmoknTires]

Yeah, my car now looks like superman without the cape now, but the parts will live on with Bob's car.

I did have my car lowered (motons) with black wheels, it looked killer. I've stripped everything out between Bob and 2 other people. Bob's car got the lions share of all the smart upgrades. Green indeed rules, the best color ever made.

[Fuoss484]

Looks sweet Bob. Very tasteful upgrades.

[01sapphirebob]

Thanks everyone for the kind words. Been under the weather for the last week so I haven't had a chance to check back. :)

[Lawrenzo]

Glad to see that you finally came around to appreciating stripes :smilielol:

[01sapphirebob]

Sunny day here in Ohio so I was able to get a couple shots of the stripe detail AND get a shot of the backend.

Those were actually put on by the pervious owner of the hood. I think I'm gonna remove them. Winter project.

[Lawrenzo]

Those were actually put on by the pervious :t15197:owner of the hood. I think I'm gonna remove them. Winter project. Are they made out of leather?

[CERVEZA]

Looks great!!! Really like the stripes.... You will love the 3.55s

[VIPER BAZ UK]

Looking good........

[MI Viper]

Bob,
That is 1 sweeeeet looking ride, very nice, congrats

[Anonymous]

Smoking!!!

[Sybil TF]

Rear spoiler and stripes improve the cars look tremendously!

[MI Viper]

Q, where do I find some info on a spoiler like Bob has now, for our 09 Vert? I have binged it with no luck?
Thanks,

Bob,
Thanks for the info. I assume it comes unpainted? BTW, your car is 1 of the sweet's Snakes I've seen on the boards, hope to see her in person some day.
Merry X-mas.

Thanks MI Viper. I cant take all the credit for the ar as I purchased all the parts from another member. It did transform my snake into sometjhing really special though. As far as the spoiler goes...I would assume it comes unpainted but you could always contact then and see if they perhaps paint to match. Merry X-mas to you and yours as well!

Bob,
I sent an email to Autoform, and they said it comes painted.... It has me thinking, for the $$ it's not bad, ($825 S+H), I think it really looks great on a Gen IV , but I really need to save my "snake mod $$" for Belanger Ex. full system. Which I believe you have.
Thanks, and Happy New Year.

That doesnt sound too bad. I was never really a spoiler/wing guy but this thing has certainly grown on me. The exhaust is a nice upgrade. Definitely gives you more HP. Ive got the "mod" bug now after doing this to my car. I want to get my intake ported. Good for another 10-15 hp. I have no dyno numbers so i have no idea where im at right now but from what i figure im close to 640 at the motor. :D

Bob,
I totally agree, it's just enough spoiler to make it stand out just a little, and I will be following your mod. path to a certian degree: Belanger's and the Mopar PCM, not sure at this point about going into the motor. We have some Hi-Perf. boats, for many years, and I've learned there when I buy a Mercury Racing engine/drive, will do mods that that are not internal. In boating RELIABLITY is KING! What I would really like is a boat with these engines in it! :)

new to Vipers, can you get calipers and valve covers in any Viper color? 2006 Blue for me. I know you can get them powder coated. thanks for any replies.

[GBS]

Car looks great!

[slysnake]

The trunk pad... I may want this? Is it custom or an available part? Agreed, where did that come from?

[01sapphirebob]

Agreed, where did that come from?

It was ustom done by the previous owner. Talk to your region president Alex. He might know about it. ;)
