Default New Cosmetic Changes Complete

I thought I would share some better pics on my Gray 03 Coupe with all my new changes. Enjoy! Let me know if you like the red touches to the exterior and silver interior makeup. The last shot, storm is a little dirty, sorry!

Interior and hood stripes look good

I can't say the pin stripe does anything for me, but hey it's your car!

You did ask, never seen one pin striped like that !

Hmm... Why accent/draw attention to where the bumper meets the body in the rear? I'm sure the engineers did their best to HIDE this when they designed the car...

I, personally, don't get it.

The red along the side scoop is an interesting touch. (But you end it at the start of the door -- yet the scoop continues into the door.) I'd certainly not take it anywhere near the rear of the car, though.

I think the thick red pinstripping along the side and over the rear hatch is a bit too much - but if you like the look that is all that counts. I like the rest of the touches you did to the car.

I think that it's different and I think that gray cars need a splash of color but I don't like the pinstripe.

At first glance, I asked myself "When the C5 first came out and it looked like that, would I have still liked it?" I would have to say yes It's different but l like it

If you can't laugh at yourself, who can you laugh at? I don't see the simularity but funny none the less. Their van was a GMC and it was black with some Red Graphics.
