Default Time to repaint the C5
Well, it only took me 4 hours to take it apart, but its ready to get a freash coat of LeMans Blue to match its big brother. Hopefully be ready for the granddaughter to take for a spin this summer. With the help of nascar57, we've added a few more lights
Red LEDs in the tailpipes
Blue led strips under the dash and inside the seat area.

A color change is really going to affect the value. Don't do it!
