    GTS Left Inner Door Stanchion

    I'm guessing by USED you are trying to avoid the $235 from Viper Parts of America? Other than the VPA, I have only had interaction with R&J Distributing for parts. You can try shooting them an email, but be prepared to wait for a reply.

    2014 Corvette

    Oh, Nooo...I meant my 1996 GTS. I dont want to drive a comfortable and easy to drive spaceship. I want to drive a loud, uncomfortable and no frills Gen 2 Viper.

    2014 Corvette

    I'll sum it up in THEIR own words: "It's fast, it's comfortable and it's easy to drive" = it ain't no GTS. I'll pass. (but, it does look sharp)

    Lookin' for Gen2 Hoodpad

    Hey all, Just putting a feeler out there to see if anyone has an extra Gen2 hood pad they would be willing to sell? VPA is backordered until March, and I'd like to avoid shipping a used one sight unseen if possible. I am located in Oak Lawn and would gladly travel to pick it up. Let me know...

    New owner: a few questions looking for advice

    Welcome, Bennet In addition to what was said about the hood being closed correctly, and keeping in mind that the Viper is a hand-built car, you also have a couple other options. Depending on how bad your gap is you will see four bolts holding the two hood hinges in place. You can loosen these...

    +1 on VPA. Unless you can visually inspect a used one before buying it.

    how to remove amber side markers?

    Darth, I know there are a few picture posts floating around with pics...but if you leave the stock backings (white) it will appear VERY white. I have a B/W and thought it would look good with my white stripes, but decided to go with silver backings instead because they were just too white...

    how to remove amber side markers?

    You mean you want to try and access the rear license plate lights from the top for some reason (as you look down at them)? If someone doesnt give you an answer from memory, I have my GTS's rear cargo area all apart and rear lights out...so I can stick my head in and take a look for you if...

    How To: Door Stanchion Removal (pictures)

    Hey all, Common problem for the GEN 2s and one of my winter projects I had to get done. Didn't see a how-to anywhere, so decided to knock one out. Hope it helps... Mark By now you've realized that the weather stripping around your stanchion is cracked or missing, and figured out that...

    Viper Myth Thread. What have you heard?

    I've heard the V12 and V8 comments as well. Other than that, mostly people ask me about how hard it is to control and what IS and ISNT in the car (cupholders, AC, radio, yadda). Everyone seems to love the seatbelts on the "wrong" side tho :)

    H-spoke wheels

    I know it's an older thread, ^ but those wheels look great. Anyways I know they will fit just fine. But, the ONLY thing I have ever heard/been cautioned about is adding heavy wheels (like newer SRT wheels/ H-spokes) to an older platform that was designed for the much lighter 17in size. Car...

    Radar detectors

    K band has been around since the 70's and a lot of towns/cities still use it, especially those with smaller budgets. It has to do with so many older units being fielded out and those units just having been maintained and never replaced with newer technology. X band is even older and is hardly...

    Radar detectors

    TowDawg, You are more than welcome to have your opinion about what traffic laws are for and not for. Rock on and not my concern. But as far as setting up large areas where police identify themselves to control speed and use only always-on in their cars, happens each and everyday. As for...

    Radar detectors

    At the end of the day all a detector will do is buy you some time and make you slow down at times, which is the goal of traffic law enforcement anyways. Most people believe cops hate detectors and that just isn't the case. All it takes is one car with a radar detector hitting his brakes and the...
