As many of you know, my Viper was hit 3 weeks ago by an individual whom I described as Stevie Wonder.

I have been patiently waiting for DC to send the new parts since then. Yesterday, I was informed that I can expect the new bumper cover by the first week in August!!!!!! Meanwhile, I'm driving around in an $85K car held together by duct tape.

My dealer has called DC without any satisfaction. It is on "back order", whatever that means. I personally called DC in Detroit and was told that it would be looked into.

Any ideas from ya'll......................

Hey Don,
Yes the front fascias #5029154AB are on back order [15 of them] and the "Supplier ship commitment" date is July 24! But there are 10 fascias in Dealers stock! If you want, give me a call and I'll give you those Dealers info and maybe you'd be able to get one sooner? :cool:

Michael, customers CAN NOT CALL STAR!!!!

I just got off the phone with The Wizard. He went over the locations of the dealerships (10) who have a bumper cover in their inventory. The closest one to me was Landers Dodge, in Mississippi. Chuck gave me a toll free number and I spoke with their parts manager, Mike. Indeed he has what I need and I'm in the process of having it shipped to my local dealer.

Up until now, the Viper Community to me was simply a term which was bantered
about to let the world know you owned a Viper.

I can't thank Chuck enough for his time and genuine concern over my dilemma. Thanks to him, I should have my car back in service, sans duct tape, within a week.

Thanks again Chuck......

Don

Don, I know this is off-topic but, this past week I was having lunch at the finest mexican eatery in Gadsden (taco bell) :) A few friends were with me and I seen you pull up to the red light. They ,of couse, were in awe and cringed when they seen the duct tape and then I proceeded to tell them all about the Stevie Wonder incident.

I can not believe driving a Viper with duct tape. Glad to hear that Chuck found it for ya. I also can not believe that the part is backordered that long. WOW DODGE!
