Jet, your 'stuff' looks really cool indeed, and you put it together so quickly. What is the ground clearance on the front splitters...I already brush speed bumps up here, unless I take them diagonally.

I'm interested in the pricing, but not for financial/purchase sake. My interest is in your entrepreneurial spirit and marketing. What with Mopar at $12k for the same CF(?)...and Brembo at $31 for Viper carbon fibre brakes, seems we are being taken advantage of?

Also, did you come up with CF for the ducts behind the door windows? Lastly, where in Florida are you...I'm in Palm Beach Gardens after the holidays, and bringing my Viper down.

Roy, check to see if you are hitting the little black flaps by the front of the wheel well - mine scrape on my driveway everytime i take the car out

Same as the bumper and I have not hit anything yet

I thinking $3000.00 for the set. I am a Viper owner and can relate to the taking advantage of feeling. that number just seems fair :)

In work it is one of the harder pieces to do and not have a seam where the carbon meet's

I am right next to the Palm Beach Airport so come on by

Thanks for the insult George

Most if not all of CF upgrades ordered and shipped on New Vipers are Carbon only showing..so that's one of many reasons why its appropriate for the Viper..and most love it that way

Im not going to let " The Ricer" community take over and you belittle Carbon Fiber as " ricer"..and prevent me from considering it...which is a nice touch on some of the most prestigious and expensive exotics ever made...and if it wasn't for these exotics , F-1 cars and Indy cars it wouldn't have become available as it has..

Too bad for you that your perceived lesser value cars that have over done bad carbon some how prevent your use of quality CF..
I guess its a California thing....

Carbon Fiber done right is extremely difficult to pull of correctly especially on multi contour and angle pieces like a spoiler. Its truly a work of art with allot of hand made and hand finished hours involved with making a quality show piece and should be shown, never belittled .

I was going to paint it..but it looks so good in glossy carbon...I may never paint it..

Reread what he wrote......didn't sound like an insult at all

Any more updates on the gen 3 gen 2 stuff

We pulled a mold off the rear deck of a Gen 4 and are starting to build it this week I think the Gen 3 can be adapted from that. I am going to try and bring my wifes Gen 2 in over the holidays and pull a mold from her rear deck That one should be fast its real close to the Gen 5

I got my Gen 5 carbon parts from Wayne (Jetstar) and will install them this week. Parts look very nice, easily could be OEM quality. Will do a photo shoot with them installed.

... What is the ground clearance on the front splitters...I already brush speed bumps up here, unless I take them diagonally.

It is about 4.85" in the corner and my ones did scrape a couple of times already but the skid plate does a good job protecting it, but even knowing it is just the skid plate, I still crinch when I hear the scraping sound. I also don't think the corner splitters integrate that well in the front bumper so I'm looking for ones with different shape with another inch of ground clearance as I intend to lower the car when the Mopar springs come out.

A little OP, sorry but question to Jetster or anyone that has done it... how are the OEM corner splitters attached to the bumper? Just 3 screws under the front bumper and one in the wheel well? Is there any adhesive tape that needed to be heated to ease removal? Thanks.

I personally like painted better and the front looks even better than expected. In the beginning of this thread, someone had a Launch edition with it painted. any better pictures of that in the end product painted front/rear?
