Default New ISF owner

I picked up this 08 with 31k miles just a couple of weeks ago and am in love. It is the perfect combination of luxury and performance and so far, I couldn't be happier. The only modifications are a 3M clear bra and tinted windows. I just picked up an 8yr/100k Lexus platinum warranty for it from a gentleman on this forum a few days ago, so it will be staying mostly stock under my ownership(hope so lol). The only pictures I have of it are with my other pride and joy. I couldn't wait to get pictures of both of them together even if it was with my phone. The F evokes a lot of the same lust that the Viper does(at least for me). Daily driving hasn't been this fun since my C6Z days.

I am definitely no photographer and my phone obviously didn't like the lower light conditions, but I still found these entertaining. Looking forward to being part of this community!

Congrats and welcome! Nice viper.

The wrong rim is on the front left side of your car since those rims are directional...just letting you know.

Wow good eye everyone! I bought the car from the original owner and he just had new tires put on, so I am assuming the shop that put them on screwed up the fronts. Will get the tires swapped and rims changed next week.

Even the back right rim looks backwards... FYI, imagine the blades of a fan spinning. The "blades" of the rim push air outwards as the car goes forwards. The odd thing is that since you have 3 wrong ones and 1 correct one that would mean that you have a mismatched setup. Make sure you have 9 inch rears and I think they're 8 1/2 inch fronts.

I am out of town for the weekend, but will look into this when I get back. Seems very odd that I would have a mismatched set, but it certainly appears that way.
