Good luck with that one!!! I thought the same thing after I bought mine in May. Everyday that goes by, I'm thinking of something else to do to it. Just need the money now.

Congrates on the new purchase. Car looks great. Have fun with it. You will really like the C5.

Step 1. Get rid of the wagon wheels
Step 2. Get rid of those BSM's
Step 3. Enjoy


I love C5's I think they look better than C6's I just don't like our head lights.
