    Striped my Hood

    Roy, I make a paper pattern first which is the hardest part of the job. I first lay out narrow tape on the hood to out line where the edge of the stripe will be then I use pieces of tracing paper, which I attach together, attached to the hood over the stripe area and follow the outline of the...

    Yes, you are seeing carpet. I had the hood on a small table to do the work.

    Valve Covers are Painted

    sssammm, I used a spray can. It's Dupli-color Engine enamel DE 1650 Aluminum. I scrubbed down the covers with a Scotch Brite pad and a little Lacquer thinner and then wiped it down with some Naphtha. Silver paint is very easy to spray, I guess it is the pigment that is used. You have to be...

    Striped my Hood

    The front Viper badge is taped on. Cut through the tape using some heavy fishing line, then clean off the remaining tape. You can buy the body tape and reapply the Badge.

    Striped my Hood

    I striped my hood using vinyl. I like using vinyl because it can be removed if you get tired of the stripe. I striped my previous Viper and when I sold the hood to a forum member he removed the vinyl to his taste. I added the script to the side of the stripe because I think it gives it a more...

    Thanks everyone. I knew someone would mention the bits of yellow and red. I did notice but some things are better left alone.

    Valve Covers are Painted

    It was more work than I planned but they are painted and installed. I have a green car and didn't like the red valve covers. I thought about painting them body color but decided to do them in silver and I am happy with the look. Here are the pictures.

    Valve Cover removal

    SANCHOBA, Your engine looks great. The red works for most colors. I just don't like red with green. I also painted my calipers black. I'm doing the valve covers in silver to match the intake. I'm waiting on some new gaskets so I can put things back together.

    Valve Cover removal

    sssammm, Thanks. I did it a little different than you but I got it off, after that it was easy. Hope I can remember how all of this stuff goes together once the valve covers are painted.

    Valve Cover removal

    Thanks. That is the direction I'm going, but it appears you have to remove at least the passenger side wiper arm. I removed the wiper arm nut but can't get the arm to release from the shaft. Looks like I may have to make up some kind of puller. I was able to get the air box loose but I have...

    Valve Cover removal

    I have a green car and red valve covers which don't look good to me. I decided to paint them. Removing them from the car has turned out to be a big job. Has anyone here removed their valve covers on a Gen 4. Mine is a 2010. The injector harness was a pain but got them off. I have removed...

    Need Help, Injector wire plug removal

    Need to remove the wire plug from a Gen 4 injector. A RED clip slides up but there must be another step. What am I missing ? Thanks.
