The anticipation can be trying but in the end it's worth it. The car came out very nice and you should be proud. Enjoy!

I always enjoy these before- and after-pics. I learn something new every time guys like you post these. Thanks and keep 'em coming along with comments or narratives about what you did, how much it cost, time spent, parts bought, etc.

Oh, and, send some clear sunny skies up my way please........

Thanks for all the great compliments am really happy the way she came out, I do have a couple small issues which need too be address, and the light housing is actually the original one that came with the car,looks like it's been chrome,just a great polish job.

That is one sweet C3. You could have added a hundred more pics and not "overdone" it. You have every right to be proud of her.
