Default Vinyl Stripes added to Viper GTS

Thought you guys might want to see some pics of my Sapphire Blue Viper GTS. I added Silver vinyl stripes to it a couple of days ago. It came out great. Really transformed the look of the car. They are virtually indistinguishable from paint. This is the correct color stripe for this car. I'm very pleased

Looks fantastic! I'm a big fan of the gen II gts, but they all look naked to me without stripes. Sapphire blue with silver stripes is a great color combo. Did you do the install yourself? Pre-cut vinyl?

Thanks. They do look naked without stripes. I bought the pre-cut vinyl from the Viper Store. I had it installed at my house by a professional installer that has done Expel installs for me in the past. He's very good. It isn't easy. Took about 5 hours. I would have screwed it up for sure.

Thanks Boba. The colors really do work well together. Definitely looks more "Viperish" with stripes. How's that ACR doing? I need to hear how it compares to your Z06. Both great animals

Great collection of sports cars & I absolutely love the Gen II Viper GTS. The Sapphire Blue is a fantastic, rich color and your addition of silver stripes is simply perfect for the car & that unique color.

I own two Viper GTS - a 1997 solid red and a 2000 red with silver stripes. One of the most beautiful body shapes ever made in my opinion - rolling artwork, IMHO.

Congrats on your beautiful Viper GTS and the silver stripes simply topped it off !!!

Thank you Dave. I agree with you that the lines on these Gen 2 coupes are as good as anything ever made. I would love to see pics of your 2.

100% agree - the Gen II coupes are simply magnificent in my humble opinion.

Here is a link to a post in garage pics here on the Corvette Forum. I think photos of my garage start at Post #105: https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...age-bay-6.html

Nice. I've always loved a blue viper with white stripes. I don't see many sapphire blue vipers thought. It is typically the other, brighter blue.

Thank You. Sapphire Blue is a pretty rare color, 2001 only and in limited numbers. It's a rich color and the stripes really set it off nicely.
