86 I did
Before
Damage to LF, RR and right quarter/

AFTER
Used ground effects package with wing from craigslist and pacer wheels, and Dupont Nason single stage urethane mixed to oem 86 code.


MY 91
Before
Damage to right rear quarter, right side rocker, 3 cracks in hood, and wasted air dam. Interior was done by someone color blind



AFTER
All new seats, carpet, seat belts, painted black trim and 94-96 door panels. Full polished L98 intake, ball milled valve covers, polished alt with billet fan and pulley. Magaflow mufflers with stock 91 tips. Color is my own custom blended red I call "Arrest-me-red".






Ive done one other C4, but it has the very un-popular body kit on it so I will keep it out. But Ive done a few c5's and a couple of C6's. And countless other sports cars from BMW m3's to F-bodys

I still have my 94 to do, if I will ever get off my lazy *** and do it. seems like I'm too busy when I have the money, and when I'm not busy, I'm broke.. (like now)

The color is right though, why'd you make the switch? Would be nice to have both.
