I Did It: Stripes On My GTS

[SJT97GTS]

Well, after some thought and a few opinions, I had the vinyl stripes applied on my 1997 GTS. Today, the Gateway VCA got together for our annual Missouri Wine Country Tour, and everyone loved them! Here are a few pictures that I took today, but I'm going to take a few more pictures and take some more time on them. What do you all think?

So Vinyl is a ok option?

 

[monnieh]

You did a good job, like the GTS logo on the stripe.

 

[SJT97GTS]

So Vinyl is a ok option?

Yeah, looks and works pretty darn good and didn't cost me much at all. Plus, if I didn't like it, it's off in minutes. I would suggest vinyl to anyone who wants to make their Viper different and add some more (like they really need more) personality.

 

[SJT97GTS]

Also, the "red" isn't Viper red, it's a "tomato" red (the actual color of the side & rear logos on red Vipers).

Those stripes look orange! Anyway, it looks good!

 

[GTS Bruce]

Don't like it.Good thing they are easy to remove. Bruce

 

[FranciscoR.]

ouch bruce...lol

To each their own. I guess that's why it's MY VIPER, not yours.

 

[GTS Bruce]

I just don't like stripes.I prefer a clean look.To me stripes make the car look too narrow for its length and less sophisticated.Everyone sees things a little differently.Do like the base color!If it were me I would go with the chrome emblems on the sides. Bruce

 

[FranciscoR.]

True enough Bruce....we all see things different. fact is stripes or not i just want a viper...LOL

 

[Rollin4]

Looks good, are they orange or red? The last pic they appear to be red, the others look orange. Where did you get them?

K&N's, smooth tubes, Kinesis K27's,MOPAR wing, MGW stuff.

Sean,
I thought I was the only nut-case that liked red stripes. You realize that you can't cruise around in the city... we will look like the bobsy twins. Anyway, it looks nice.
Later,
Joe

 

[tim721]

nice job, they look painted on.

whats the difference in price?? i know having them painted on is around 2K...

 

[S-JC]

Your car looks gorgeous!

I'm contemplating adding white stripes to mine, but I've only had it a couple months, so I'll enjoy the solid red for now.

 

[Chuck 98 RT/10]

What do you all think?

To be honest it's a ballsy color but since they're vinyl no harm done. I do like the Viper GTS in the stripe.

 

[FikseGTS]

maybe it's for Halloween?

 

[YouWish]

Sean: At first I didn't like the color of the stripes now it is growing on me What a beautiful color on your Viper!!!

 

[FLX109]

I think they look AWSOME, GREAT JOB

Uh....... I think he ASKED..... what do YOU think!
If someone thinks they **** and say so......you ASKED for opinions, don't get all defensive.


Did you install them or get a "striper" to do it?

 

[RX VIPER]

Holy Cow! There are 12 Vipers in that driveway! The pictures do not do it justice Sean. It looks much better in person. I'm glad you did it, and if you get bored of it, just pull them off. I know I took a picture of your car, but it was not with the digital. Check your mail. MK

 

[patgilm]

I'm a Bears fan (yeah I know they ****) so I think it looks kind of cool and different.

Two questions. How much for the striping work which by the way looks like they did a super job? Second, any concern that the paint would not match under the stripes if you decided to remove them later? I'm thinking of white stripes on my red Hemi Ram.

Yeah, the guy who did it charged me $250 installed, which I think is a steal (since it took him 4-5 hours). He said as long as I keep it in the garage, the paint should be okay.

IT'S NOT ORANGE (ALTHOUGH IT LOOKS THAT WAY IN THE PICS), IT'S "TOMATO" RED! The pics make it look more orange then red.

Thanks for all the comments guys (good or bad).

Good one! I guess I'll see you at the Funny Bone this weekend huh?

Yeah, I had a "striper" do it. She did a great job (and her being totally naked was a plus too)!

For real, the guy that did it kicked a$$, I'm totally pleased. I've let the stripes grow on me, and everyone around here love them! I'm definetly going to keep them for a while (until I change my mind again, which happens all the time!).

 

[Tiepilot]

I think it turned out very nice, nice color contrast. The rear looks REALLY good!

 

[agentf1]

Happy Halloween!

 

[SJT97GTS]

Happy Halloween!

Already tried dude. You are a freakin' *****!

Stripper - one that takes off their clothes

Striper - one that applies stripes

Did the striper give you a choice of material "grade" (or thickness)?
I have read posts that have spoken of thin and thick material (usually equates in more or less $ for the material). Is guy that did yours pretty well known in your area for doing regular ole pinstripes and such?
Thanks
