PROJECT VIPER Update
Hey Guys, the show season has been keeping us busy (VA, Boston, NYC in the next couple weeks), I didn't have time to take day shots of the car.
I took a few minutes when I got home from work today and shot a few pics.
Mods since you last saw:
iFORGED VARIANT Wheels
CHROME FINISH
20x10.5" - 2.5" lip
20x13.0" - 4.0" lip
NITTO INVO TIRES
285/25-20
345/25-20
KW v2 COILOVER SUSPENSION
50% TINT ON ALL WINDOWS (Incl. Windshield)
The single most important mod would have to be KW coilovers, they totally transformed the car. No longer does the front end shoot up like roller coaster when you floor it. The car feels much more sure footed and secure. I can now truly put the pedal to metal without being terrified of it breaking traction. The NITTO INVO tires were a no brainer for me, because I put them on my OEM wheels and love them. Great traction even in cold weather, good ride and very predictable breakaway when they start to spin / slide.
As far as the wheels go, the VIPER community (much like the Vette community, and Lambo community) are hardcore 19/20" sizing believers. I personally can never get around the look of a smaller front tire and wheel, so we always run 20/20". With the aggressive lowering it still flows well (IMO).
Here's a few pics

Now with the lowered seat, people always tell me they thought I was short, because when I'm driving you can not even see my shoulders if your next to me.
The seat does hug you though, the bolsters are on the aggressive side. I weigh 200lbs with a roll of quarters in my pocket, for reference.
