I think it looks hot
Maybe the bar will get wrapped and the wheels changed to black

If you want a loud green car, you have to really spec it out aggressively to compliment the color. Black wheels, black targa top, etc. Makes a world of difference and will make that color pop as it should. With all that silver, it manages to make an aggressive color look confused as it mixes with a "Sunday cruiser retiree" vibe.
I disagree... To me, silver wheels and targa bar look fantastic on a rich, intense color and make it pop way more than black ever could. Black looks better on light colors, white, racing yellow, silver etc. I wouldn't touch anything on that car.

I don't mind loud colors. I think racing yellow's generally "loud," and kind of similar in brightness and saturation, and I like Racing Yellow quite a lot. I don't like this. I think I'd go so far as to get it wrapped, if I had to received that car as a gift. I'm sure there's a segment that likes Viper Green, but I suspect it's small.

Apparently no hot deals at the moment with such a lengthy conversation containing everyone's 2 cents on the color of a car no one here intends to buy.

Nice, planning to change anything? Yellow brake calipers would look sweet.

I liked Yellow and got PCCBs; however, if someone wants to paint their any color they like I could care less, and everyone else should feel the same. I almost had mine painted Miami Blue but found a set of take-off PCCBs, but that would probably be ok with most people, but not Yellow or even Red, huh?

The viper targa belonged to Keadog here on Rennlist. Very nice guy from his forum posts and great build. In case you were wondering, the leather to sample interior is black natural leather. He, I believe, traded it on a cab.

I agree. If that was Keadog's, good prior owner.

Congrats. Beautiful car! Looks great with the silver. The silver accents are "in style" again. Keep as is. Wouldn't mess with a thing. Keep it original.

Doesn't look like it's had 40k/4 year service, let alone 60k/6 year. That would be my only concern. Maybe CarFax records don't capture.
