I did mine last weekend so (also TR) so i'm biased. I like it. I agree about the emblems. I put ventilation holes in mine and some pin stripes on either side of the vent holes and it helps to visually break up the area. I say good job - keep it.

I made several of those covers. They all fit my C5 but don't fit others in some small way or other. I think mass production is slipping a bit. Each one must be made to fit each car. But it gives you a bit of pride to make it "your own".

I think it looks great, but it does look like it's missing something.

It does not look right because it is the only thing red in the bay. Paint the FRCs and a few other pieces and it will fit right in!
