Seems like a lot of 13' and 14' GenV owners are retrofitting the 15' Viper side emblems. I'm not sure if I want to do this and what color I would do be it black, yellow or stock chrome finish . Has anyone added the "Viper" to the "SRT" side emblem ? I may decide to shave it or do nothing at all. But please post your Genv rebadging or shaving pics here...

My car gets in next week and has the "VIPER GT" badge which I'm not sure I will keep. If I keep I may plasti dip it black or go for a hyper black look to match the wheels. I'll post pics when I do it.

KB Viper did his and removed it.

My personal opinion is, the car says "VIPER" on all 4 calipers, gas cap, does it really need to say it 2 more times?

I removed mine on my 2015.

I like people guessing what it is.

i did it. it was a very easy install especially if you use a GT vin to order then you can line them right up. i took them off after a week, too much bling in that area and I didn't want to go black because that starts a theme that i did want on this Viper.

Previous owner did it to my 2013 and I love it. mine are in black to match the stripes. I dont think the chrome would fit well on the car.

Badges? We don't need no steenking badges.

(Sorry, couldn't resist.)

I like the fact that I had a car full of kids pull up next to me on I35 yesterday and yell, "what is that!?" The Viper side emblems would have prevented this coolness.

At this point I may just shave the side badges or get the "Viper" and do it black. The chrome badges and polished fuel cap and corner markers just don't work with the rest of the car imo. I'm probably going to remove the rear taillight panel and have someone shoot it in black. It looks like there's just a bunch of pushpins holding that on.

I was looking at the fuel cap and it wasn't obvious to me how to remove it and I'm wondering what the best way to smoke the corner markers and maybe even the taillights would be.
