Pic #1, Lighter

Pic #2, Darker

Thanks for the input,

Darion

The darker one appears to more closely match your beautiful C5 exterior color. IMHO, matching is best if you want to remain with the same color as the car. BTW, you are doing a great job! Cheers.

Doesn't look to bad for a cardboard cutout. Maybe I will just stick four of those on and call it day.

Ya, I thought the darker looked better myself, just wanted a few more opinions.

Thanks a bunch,

What colors are you using? For your car, I think the darker is better, but the lighter one may be a good match for my EB coupe.
