I know this is off thread, but i see you updated your C5 brake conversion page. Are you still using the C5 master cylinder or did you get the silver CNC adjustable master cylinder you had on your homepage. Also I noticed your front brake calipers are mounted toward the front like the original C3 calipers. Do you still have the stock control arms?

C5 master is still on the car and doing well. I am happy with the feel and bias of the brakes now that everything is broken in.

Front suspension is all stock C3. I am using a homemade adapter that places the caliper in the stock C3 location.

I noticed your "chrome" trim was still looking good,(actually mine's so faded I didn't realize it was chrome, thought it was silver. Planning on doing mine soon when all my interior parts arrive. Any suggestions for reapplying chrome trim? What about a thin chrome pin striping tape? Any suggestions appreciated....
