my 05 viper pics

anyone like the illustration effect? also what does anyone think about having the front fascia repainted, would that effect the value of the car? prior owner not to careful.

any paintwork will effect the price of the car, but some people like it, most dont, have before and after pictures, usually when someone paints the car or parts of the car, it's been in some accident. I hate the paint on the viper, so many towel scratches etc that are visible! A very thin layer of clear was applied obviously from the factory, IMO very fragile paint. Does everyone else have this problem?

A quality front fascia repaint wouldn't steer me away from a car at all. Rock chips and chin scrapes are inevitable on Vipers.

I agree photos documenting before and after always helps negotiations.

As for the paint, it is has less orange peel than my former e39 M5.
