    Cool STRIPES!!!! On a 2005 Vert

    So I was kind of craving some stripes recently. I haven't owned a Viper with stripes yet and it looked like fun. Originally I used the gen 5 website to check all kinds of crazy color options before narrowing the search. There's just something about the silver/blue combo from the 99 GTS's that is beautiful. I found a local shop that specializes in custom stuff and I stopped by with the car one afternoon to look through their sample books. That was very overwhelming at first to say the least. I picked a few options and put them in the sun with the car. As soon as I saw Satin Perfect Blue from 3M I knew that was definitely the color. Gave them the deposit that day.

    Fast forward to a couple weeks later. I took the day off work so that I could spend the day at the shop. They were going to do stripes on the Viper as well as window tint on my Dart.

    Some of the in process and final pictures:















    The guy did an incredible job with these. I am very pleased. He may have also been a bad influence because the car is going back for a few more custom touches next week

    I was not an original stripe fan either with my '01 Sapphire blue roadster. But, like you, it began to grow on me with my '08 convert.

    That blue POPS! Looks beautiful! But not in your first pic.

    Thanks everyone!

    He did make custom cuts to the vinyl while it was on the car. He showed me how he does it so that the paint is not affected or scratched at all. The guy is very talented that's for sure. I don't think I would try this myself.

    Hey Stretch, looks great... Will I be able to see it in person at tomorrow's Tech Day? Will you be bringing it if it rains?

    Slightly. Yellow is a fun color to have though.

    Hopefully. I am trying to get down there but there's lots to do before the NVE2 trip, in particular finishing the convoy details so that it can get sent to everyone early next week. So we'll see, it will be a game time decision tomorrow.

    I like it because it is a little different. Blue goes well on silver but satin blue was never offered. It does look like it was done well too.

    Well Done! Love this color combo too. Do you by chance have the stripe dimensions?

    I copied the 06 coupe dimensions.

    Front: 8 1/8 inch stripe with a 4 1/8 gap
    Roof: 8.75 inch stripe (obviously not there but for reference)
    Rear: 9 inch stripe
