OEM Carbon Aero Package ordered from Woodhouse

[VENOM V]

After tracking at four tracks and seeing the need for downforce on high speed sweeping corners, I've been really needing the carbon aero kit (rear spoiler plus both splitters). It was originally offered through Mopar at $12,090, which I found insulting considering it can be had as a factory option for $4,800 when ordered on the Viper. I wrote a letter expressing my frustration, and got an immediate and positive response. They just re-priced it at $5,525, thanks to some help from someone whom I admire at SRT. Thanks for listening, SRT.

And a big thanks to Mark Jorgensen, who just sold it to me at a discount below that. Mark and Bill have both been there for me to offer advice over the past year on all-things Viper, these guys are assets to the Viper community.

I think it's good that Viper owners now have a choice of OEM or aftermarket carbon aero parts. Although I paid a little more for the OEM carbon aero kit, here's why I chose it:

• OEM parts on a 100% stock Viper will maintain better resale value

• An engineered solution that was optimized and proven in a wind tunnel

• Attached with urethane epoxy, rather than 3M tape (both may be fine, but I'm more confident in epoxy at high track speeds and over time)

• Replaceable skid plates on splitters

• Ralph told me that the OEM solution should hold up well to sunlight degradation over it's life

I'll be trying out the carbon aero package at Big Willow Springs in early March, which is nicknamed the fastest track in the west. The track record is held by an '08 ACR driven by none other than Dominik Farnbacher. It is also the track that was used for the recent TA media launch.

Nice on many ends.

Good to see Wayne stepping up and getting the aftermarket game going - but nice to see MOPAR not fleecing Viper owners for OEM parts.

For $3600 you can get Waynes products or if you want to blow $2k more you can get the OEM - great for everyone.

$12 grand was ridiculous for those parts. I'm glad that the price has been dropped. Great work Todd..

I don't think it's being offered yet. Contact Mark Jorgensen of Woodhouse, I believe he knows.

Thanks, do you happen to have his contact information ?

Yes, you can reach Mark Jorgensen at 402-426-4126

Good to see they lowered the price, but I'd still have heartburn spending $5K on this stuff. Makes no sense that it costs more than the factory option price, considering they still save installation labor between the two.

Agree with you Tony, I think for me it was still a hard choice between Wayne's or OEM. Good that the Viper community now has choices, like the Vette community.
