Stripes: Yes or No?
Have Black Gen I RT/10 and I am considering having silver strips painted. What is the general thought on stripes? Does it give the snake a race look, etc.?

I'm considering stripes on mine too (94 RT/10 black). But I might do a Gen II hood mod with naca duct and wheel louvers. You could probably get somebody to photoshop for you.

before you paint try the stick on Teflon type and if you don't like them they come right off.
I guess I like stripes

No stripes on a RT 10 make the car look much wider! I'd think that stripes go only on the GTS. But the only important opine is your.
Good luck regardless,

I like stripes on my Viper and no stripes on my women. Shaved....is the expression.

I love stripped Vipers, but I like it on GTS's only. You should find someone that has an RT/10 with strips and check it out. Photos aren't good enought. You should see it in person first.
I went to DLM and saw a bumble bee there and man was that car sweet!!! It had that big wing too. If I ever get another Viper, it'll be stripped for sure.

Here's some pics of our 94 with 96 style stripes to give you an idea of what it looks like -

Damn...you beat me to the punch! I was just going to tell him to check out your snake. The stripes look great on it, and really set off the green. Sweet ride :thumb:

BR:
Do a search over on the Viper Club for "to stripe or not". Old thread but still some good advice. My recommendation is that if you do stripe, definitely ghost the stripes. You might consider silver ghosting.

I am going to go with silver tape at this time, thanks for some great feedback.
