Andy, that looks bad a$$! You always manage to make your mods look very nice (even better than Ryan!).

I think the ******** on the Vert looks great until the top comes down. Then there is something just not right about the lines of the car. I personally prefer the "gen 1" back end on the Vert. And considering most of my driving is with the top down.... I think the Vert lines look a lot better on the road from behind. The rear not being broken up with the ******** make the car look wider and lower. However, on the coupe, it is right at home. It will be sad for SRT to do this total throwback GenV car and not pay the proper homage to the Gen1 like it should. I am just not with the "more **** is better" crowd on this one. Less is more..

But the picture with that camera angle is sweet like honey!

I don't think it's more **** is better, I think it's the I don't want a Sebring rear end on my Viper crowd. The gen 3-4 vert rear doesn't look anything like the rt10 rear IMO. I don't mind the rt10 rear and you didn't see people wanting to slap a GTS rear on them either because it was unique and worked. Just my opinion though, and it finally looks the way I wanted it to look from the factory.

My brother from another mother ...... Looks great !! Certainly the way that Dodge should have made the rear end look. I went a bit custom with my ACR rear paint scheme and copied the Vert ACR layout by not painting the tail light area black. Pretty happy with how things turned out although my panels took a bit more coaxing to get into place.

YESSIR! Really like the way yours turned out also. Mine took just as much coaxing lol, but then end result was worth the effort. If anyone goes this route feel free to shoot me a pm if you have any questions. I'm sure Rocket can help as well.

Looks great in red and black, the Coupe rears on the verts rock. Everyones paint schemes look superb. Keep posting the pics.

Likewise too, I'm pleased with the end result (but did it take some coaxing, even the grinder, more fibreglass and filler, and custom brackets)!
Here's mine, interesting to see a 'before and after' effect when I parked next to a stock Mamba...

I mostly agree with this, I like the coupe rear end when the top is up but less when the top is down. But I would love to see more pictures, esp. with top down. I think having the ACR paint scheme makes it work really well though

Gotcha, I sent Ryan a pic with a better angle he can post it up if he likes. I'll try to get another done.

Looks fantastic! Mine was tough because I didn't want to sand or fill the carbon deck lid so I had to make it all work the best I could. I didn't need any custom brackets though everything went together pretty good.

Wow Andy, that came out looking great. We need more pics. All these coupe rear verts have so much more appeal. Like!

Anyone want to mention how much this costs to do without having to call?
