Hey guys, I figured id post afew pics of my car...I swapped out my grey side winders for a set of black from Jon B ( who btw was great to deal with) While I had it on the lift I did the 3/8" wheel spacers, specific lugs, and also the underdrive pulley...I love the way it looks and couldn't be happier...btw the car is lowered on eibachs..

Man that looks nice. Did the Eibachs make the car really bouncy and unstable at speed? I had Eibachs and my Gen4 and it was terrible.

Beautiful ride you got there. It looks like the right height also. How do you like the Eibach springs. I had them on our 06 and I liked the way they rode.

Although I'm not a huge fan of black wheels, the car looks great. Is this the same blue color that is an option on the 2015 TA 2.0? That blue looks lighter "baby blue" than this one.

Love it, but like others stated...curious the ride quality on the new springs. I was not a fan on my Gen III

Sure looks like Competition Blue to me. I'm so torn on the color, because all the pictures make it look amazing at night or in shade, but it looks like sky or smurf blue in the sunlight.

Exactly my thoughts. I love the blue in the shade or in a garage, but if it's this same color as the 2015 TA 2.0 it gets too light in color in the sun for me:

We sure that's the same color?

Thank you for reposting pics, and thanks for all the kind words guys....the color is awesome and the pics don't do it justice...as for the ride, it seems no different than stock...I don't think it was very comfortable off the show room floor, at least now it looks how I want it to..

Looks amazing! Personally I think the wheel gap and stance looks great and the way the car should come!

Welcome and awesome Viper!

well… my '14 TA #66 is now pre much w/o any oil in the front driver's side shock…. all leaked out… 1050 miles…. rather than having new one put in by the dealer, i'm considering what you did now…. i like that fact that it lowered the car a bit too, but not too much….

how much are those eibach springs and what specific model # is it for the front and rear ? as long as no wheel rub, i'm IN….

Comp Blue looks amazing in person. It doesn't look "baby blue" in person, even in sunlight. More like the bright blue you might have seen on newer Mustangs. It is basically the same blue in the Mopar logos.

The eibach kit is for the gen4s...I'm not positive on part numbers but can look at the box tomorrow...

Beautiful!!! Question: Do you feel a 3/8" spacer was enough for the front? I notice on the Gen V, the front wheels/tires are under the body work more than the rear....1/2 inch more or so.

I need to see this color in person. The lighter pics I've seen of the TA2.0 made me 2nd guess...but your pics and car look stunning. Someone needs to post a good video inside and out of a Comp Blue car to highlight the color!

Looks amazing indeed. Were you able to get the wheel alignment back to spec after lowering?

Thank you, I lowered it and then had to put it away for winter...Its still crapy weather and salt covered roads up here in NY so I haven't had a chance to get it out and get it alingned. However I already talked to Chuck, the viper wizard and he is going to handle it for me, and said it shouldn't be an issue.

yes it sure is comp blue, only 1 or 2 2014 with out stripes! Must be the camera or lighting as to why it looks darker in these pics...

Sick! congrats on the car! Excited to meet you in Saratoga this year!

I saw the Comp Blue in person for the first time 2 weeks ago - dropped in on a dealer in Binghamton to tell him about the VOA, he had just received a CompBlue with white stripes. It's really awesome! I tend to like darker colors but I could see getting Comp Blue myself also.

I've heard if you get Comp Blue with black stripes and take a really bad picture of it, people will think it's white and gold.
