Absolutely gorgeous. I really like the red accents with the pewter on the exterior. And pewter with oak interior is my all time favorite color combo on the C5. The two-tone of the seats is very nicely done.

Welcome to the forum. Great choice in color.

Obviously the previous owner spent a lot on the upgrades. Much to your advantage of course.

They are four Focal PolyGlass 6.5 speakers in the front doors and two kickers in the back on either side of the sub.

Nice car, and as Renegade knows, I like that color also. So how many HP is the stereo putting out?

I believe it's 800.

He really did! I believe it was $30,000 by the time he was done. The only thing I have changed was fix some broken neons, the red letters on the front and back, changed the speakers out in the front and back and also installed the vents behind the front fenders.

Clean, Cool, nice interior, cool speakers on the door, I like the color combination for the seat and interior.... I guess you don't travel over night with this vehicle, where would you put the luggage??? YOu may need to add a trailer hitch.... Still cool looking.
