Adding Stripes

[CFRA7]

Hi,

I currently have $40K to purchase a Viper GTS. I’ll have more next year when I sell my Formula Mazda. I want a red car with white stripes. Unfortunately, those were only available in 2002 and out of my current price range. I’m therefore considering the purchase of a 1997, 1998 or 1999 red GTS and adding the stripes. Is there any downside to adding the stripes?

I live in Northern California. Is there someone you would recommend to add the stripes so that I can get a cost estimate? Here is a link to a 1997 that added the strips and it seems to look good to my untrained eye:

He also seems to have added a small splitter. Where would one look to find a splitter for the Viper?

Thanks

Get this car NOW..........There was another thread where they said they will take 41K for it.

add the stripes later, when you have more coin. Lots of guys do the stripes later.

Thanks for the info. It's a tempting deal but I won't have the $40K until Mid-July. There are cars out here for about $40K but they all have about 30K miles so probally not the same level of condition. I will keep my eye on it.

Thanks

Use the search button on the top of the forums-works similar to google. Plug in splitters and you will get a bunch of threads. Jon B from PartsRack has splitters.
Then also at the top of the page here go to membership-it will list Viper clubs in CA and they may have someone(officers) to e-mail for information on the nearest auto place that does stripes.
(Always good to use someone who has done this on a Viper previously)
Good luck with finding a car and welcome!
