Of course, just my opinion, but its posted on a public forum, so... As long as you like it I guess.

That's a lot of words to say "not my cup of tea"

Way it is done isn't my cup of tea, but who cares if that is what he wants, paid for, and has done?

Ways to be polite about it. Jeez.

At least it isn't a dolphin

Yup. Disgusting. To each their own.

It's called "manners". It's a good thing to have public forum or not. It could have been delivered more constructively instead of being a smart a$$.

You sound very much like a stray Alley cat with the mange and a jealous baby.

**2010.Blue.White.ACR** · 02-02-2014

Prefix paint the stripes??

**Viper Girl** · 02-02-2014

Austin,
The words and tone are both off topic and harsh for what we want on the forums.
Agree to disagree, but there is no need to belittle or get aggressive in tone or timber in what you post.

**Fatboy 18** · 02-02-2014

Oh Boy, life would be very dull if we all liked the same things!

Have to say I THINK THOSE STRIPES LOOK BLOODY FANTASTIC English terminology for Awesome

Congratulations Smokin, Its great to achieve Goals, enjoy your lovely new ride

**Policy Limits** · 02-02-2014

I like the car better all original. The orange TA is my favorite snake to date. As long as the owner is satisfied its all that matters. Enjoy.

**Nine Ball** · 02-02-2014

I'm okay with the hood stripes, but it would look better if they were carried through the roof and top of the hatch. The side scoop areas though, I can't say I like that at all. But, what matters is that you like it! Congrats.

**uvbnbit** · 02-02-2014

That looks Awesome, Alex !

Here ya go Austin, your very own "throw up" smiley

and, you're welcome

**sparkrn** · 02-02-2014

Very cool looking car Alex. I love the snake skin in the stripes. I love the TA car period!!! Hope we get to see it Saturday at the party!!!!!

**commandomatt** · 02-02-2014

Personal taste you can not argue and when someone makes changes to a car that alter the look, they have to accept both positive and negative feedback

Having said that, I think that the black paint work looks a bit like and after thought. Agree with Nine on the stripes needing to continuing over the entire car to flow and I also feel that the painted section in the the scallop takes away from what is normally a great 3 dimensional effect in that area.

I really like the blacked out windows though. Looks aggressive

As been said several times already, It's your car....If you love it, then enjoy your new ride.

**Crotalidae** · 02-02-2014

The car & what I can see of your garage looks very nice!!!

**Policy Limits** · 02-02-2014

I think on the Orange TA's you almost have to tint the windows. Sets it off to me. I know you were asking him about his but I'll tell you what mine is = 20%.

**PittsburghRT** · 02-02-2014

The stripes aren't my style, but they are done very nice. I love those orange T/A's.

**Rizzo** · 02-02-2014

I like the front stripes but you should really continue them to the roof and trunk. Like some others im not a fan of the side paint. But DAMN. Your garage is awesome. Thats impressive.

Agree hood stripes would look better the length of the car and not a fan of the side black but to each there own if your happy that's all that matters!

**Moezee** · 02-02-2014

Looks great, Alex! Scott does awesome work!

**Jack B** · 02-02-2014

Right - it is a public forum, you also only have 10 posts and you insult the OP and what good did it do? Go back to the Honda forum or where ever you came from. As far as the question mark, "don't like it? it? DON'T READ IT!" Why don't you post your credentials and credits so we all know the span of your knowledge, my guess is you have none, I will check if you went back to the Honda forum tonight.

**Jack B** · 02-02-2014

I am going to get mine done also, is 20% common for the side. Is it the same for the rear glass?

Not much you can do to a TA or any viper for that fact that will set it off. Personal touches are what makes this car a great car to own. Its a Viper...a monster....a formidable competitor, no matter what Gen, mods, colors or personal touches it may have. Like a fine women, no matter how you dress or undress her, she is still fine !!
