Great looking C4. Your wheels have been updated. Your year by the tall brake light gives you a 86 thru 89?

It's an 86, I did update the wheels to the ZR1 style.

Congratulations. I'm surprised you never won before as the car looks great in the photo.
As the C4 cars get older and older, and dwindle away even more, the nice C4 models will stand out more.

Me too! It's hard to believe you have never gotten an award for that car before.
Very nice.
