Looks nice, but I was (at first) expecting pics of an LT1.


... and yeah ... saying you are finished is sort of a curse.
Good news is you can retract that statement, since the column is not painted yet.

Looks nice, but you need to do what I did. Send those floor mats back and get the right ones. The flags are reversed. They're not for your C3. I sent mine back as soon as I got them and the supplier didn't know what I was talking about. No one had ever said that before, so he said.

Thanks for the idea but I actually like the color contrast, I think it gives it character and besides it matches my speaker covers.

Thanks....

I went with the leather, I think they will last longer and wear a little better, especially since it gets really hot here in the summer about 105 degrees average in middle of July and through August. And it has even been around 95 here for the last week.
