Glad to see something negative turn into something positive. I hope that valet learns how to drive stick though.

I think it looks perfect as is. Nothing to be ashamed about...

...If that's even possible while driving/owning a Viper.

Yes it looks as mean as an impala SS on hydros with 14" wheels!

naah, It looks proper, maybe if you pull out the wheels a bit it would look more racy and mean.

You should look into a front nose lift kit for the Viper.

A few different companies make it, that way, you can get the right height, without having to worry about scraping everywhere.

That being said, you could always size up in tire-sidewall to eliminate the wheel gap, considering the Viper sits so low with so much gap.

Thanks!

It's just the lighting in those pictures, headlights look good IRL (will get a better pic.) The badge is stock, chrome VW with black background. I've been looking at the corners and deciding whether they should be clear or stay orange, I'm leaning towards orange since the tails have orange in them.

Just go clear and replace your half and half tail lights with the much sportier 06-09 tail lights.

You can get a pair of those lights at the wreckers for sub $75 on a good day if you want to.

That's why I think it would look a bit newer.


What I mean about the badge is to get a cheap ebay special one and paint the black to match the car color with touch up paint.

The beetle looks great! Love how much meat are on those tires. If you polish up those headlights, replace the front badge and got some clear corners it would make it look a bit newer on the cheap. Maybe it's just glare in the pics, but the badge looks like it was painted black and it's peeling and the headlights look hazy. Strange because the headlights look really clear in other pictures.

It's amazing what some coilovers and wheels can do for the looks of a car.

Agreed.

I'd also adjust the heights to match, seems the rears sitting higher than the fronts.

But definitely fix up the headlights + badge + clear corners.

I find it interesting and cool that you appreciate each of your cars on a scale of what they can be expected to be - in that you care for each one no matter the value. A true car enthusiast! Nice rides.

[nsogiba]

looks like the front went up and rear went down. much less rake, much sleeker. Looks awesome.

[loekaaz]

yes.
