    Paint Question......

    A few months ago I had my front bumper cover replaced after another driver (female) didn't see the car (???) and ran into it. Now, the paint has developed many small chip (40-50) areas. It looks like the bumper has a pox. The paint guy agrees that there are too many chips to simply be as a...

    What are the differences?????

    I bought my first Viper ('94 RT/10) in 2000 and enjoyed it for 5 years. When I wanted a newer, tighter, water tight model, my son convinced me that I shouldn't get a Gen II because the average person would not see the differences between the two. In 2005, I bought an '03 SRT 10. The...
