Added a few bling items around the fan area last weekend. I had always thought something was missing in the lower areas. I'm not quite done with everything yet, but I'm getting there one piece at a time.

Looks great. Could you get a full engine shot to get a full view? Also, did you paint your FRCs? I have a MY 01' and have been thinking about it painting mine. Just worried about to much yellow.

That looks SWEET! I've got boxes and boxes of stainless dress up parts for our C5's just waiting till I feel better. A failed back surgery, chronic pain don't lend themselves to working in the engine bay.

Keep up the great work! David

Thanks again everyone. Yes Mike I have been a little busy here. RTSVET these are chrome pieces. I have a few pieces of stainless, but I prefer the chrome. Chrome is much easy to keep clean and doesn't scratch as easy.

NIce!! I like the black all done nicely, the yellow flows from the body and the SS parts provide a very nice accent under there...

Just curious Doug, how much of a PITA was the radiator fan S/S to put on? Been thinking about them but so many pieces to install in such a tight area.
