I thought I would finally share some pictures of my snakeskin pattern stripes on my 2010 SSG ACR after having the car for a year. Thank you to all the previous forum posters here who helped me with their ideas and pictures. Also, thank you to those who directly helped me with my Viper dream.
Picked up plain SSG ACR at Roanoke, IL (my third Viper from John Gastman at Roanoke), following installation of full Belanger system, MOPAR PCM, K&N filter, 1" seat lowering, and lowering car to "rough track height":
Brand new Viper ends up at 5th Dimension in Champaign, IL for painting before making the trip home:
Subtle snakeskin stripe painting begins:
In direct light you see the snakeskin pattern:
Now you don't:
Lots of pearl and gold in paint color. Shown here on tapered stripes of hood:
Painted center interior to match exterior color. Painted 'ACR' logo. Also painted brake calipers and SRT in wheel (see pictures further below). MGW shift knob, beverage holder, and climate control knobs, too:
More snakeskin pattern pictures:
More tapered stripe pictures:
PartsRack and Doug Levin Motorsports rock chip guards. First three pictures shows trying each one separately. In the end I decided to do a combination of both. I also have rear rock chip carbon fiber guards from PartsRack.
You can also see the painted calipers and painted SRT in wheel in this picture:
Countryjoy Valentine 1 radar detector holder and Invisicord:
The ACR (at least when lowered to "rough track height") won't clear the stock Race Ramps (first picture immediately below) so I ordered custom Race Ramps:
You can also see the rear PartsRack carbon fiber chip guards in this one:
A couple of my favorite pictures:
