So a couple of weeks ago I finally made one of my childhood dreams a reality by picking up a viper. its been almost 2 years since I said good bye to my wide body 1200whp supra, and its felt like 10, but thankfully I"m back in the saddle of a sports car, the car is an 06 Coupe with 20" HREs, borla exahust, short shifter, and 13k miles.

Since I bought it, I've installed the ARP carbon lip, BC Racing Coil overs, and hopefully within the next 2 weeks I can do the black stripes and black lips on the wheels. This is what it looked like 3 weeks ago when i bought it:

Welcome! The car looks awesome, I particularly like black lip on the wheels and leaving the outer edge blue, nicely done:headbang:

Looks sweet! Did Irish Mike do your alignment after you dropped it?

I haven't aligned it since the drop 2 weeks ago. I'm still messing with the ride heights, i just went down another 1/4 of an inch in the front so now it sits even with the back :)

They are absolutely awesome, Tim @ BC Racing is the man. car rides better than stock, and I haven't even started playing with the stiffness settings. It definitely feels a lot less "springy" than it did stock.

Hope the BCs last. They have been around for several years in the sport compact/import world.

I've been contemplating doing black stripes on my blue/silver. Definitely made my decision easier. Looks awesome

Thanks guys, I also had the inner barrels done in gloss black/clear to make it easier to clean so it should look awesome up close for those people that are detailed oriented :)
