So I always toy with the idea of adding some carbon parts to my GEN IV. I love the look of carbon fiber. Anytime I do a serarch I always come across this....

Anyone ever seen these in person? Whenever I click on the picture from the google search it takes me to a website where it says this part is for the neon SRT 4 ACR or the Viper ACR but when I go ry and click on the buy product link I get no where and I cant seem to search it on the website it takes me to.

Agreed but wanted to see if anyone in the community had seen them. They look great IMO.

I think Carbon by Design used to sell carbon ones. Website shows only fiberglass, but might be worth giving them a call if you really want some. They were a vendor over on srtforums.com for the srt4 guys.

Wouldn't you be able to wrap it just as easily? There are guys on this forum that have done some great interior wrapping on their own that I bet would either help you or might even do it for you. People are usually pretty generous around here in my experience.

I agree it looks great. Weird that you can't seem to just buy it though. Let us know what you find as I bet some more people would be interested.

I talked to Josh at above company, Carbon by Design, and he said they only make fiberglass and have never made in carbon fiber. All the web sites where this item is being listed, shown or taked about all indicate it was made by CBD, Carbon by Design.

Man, where's vipair when you need him..lol

Update on Vipair: I started seeing a few Viper body parts for sale in the local Craigslist saying things like "last one" and some showing photos with a U-Haul rental truck in the background on Steve's driveway. I went by Steve's house and saw that it is for sale ($1.5M) and appears unoccupied (he lives in the same neighborhood as my Mom does). So apparently he is moving, but the Vipair website is still active. I for one hope he can pull it together as he was one who had a passion for the Viper and at one time owned more than ten of them. Is this a "rise and fall" story?... who knows, maybe time will tell.

A single carbon fiber "speedster bubble" remains on craigslist for $795 (fits over the SRT convertible top when it is down).

Oh boy. I bet there will be a lot of people who won't be heartbroken if it is a "rise and FALL" story.

I never personally dealt with him so I don't have an personal experiences. But I have seen the response he generates.

Back to the topic at hand, has anyone hydroprinted one if these? Or tried a wrap?

Just for you Bob I looked at too many Neons just now... BUT I found the CF seat inserts in a thread... I'd register over there and ping this guy. He says they are carbon by design. Maybe it was a limited run and someone has some stock
