Ordered the door panel access pieces (the thing behind the door pull) today. Will pick them up Tuesday. They were missing when we got her. Also ordered the air dam/valence. That was missing when we we bought her too. I will try to post pics.

I have a silver C5 and I am adding a touch of red to the interior also. Black was just too plain. I have done the dash letters and door pulls so far. I also ordered a set of Lloyds mats and went with black with the red emblem and red piping around the edge. Just the right touch of red that stands out but is not overwhelming.

You have been very busy!! J and I put your door panels on this afternoon and a new air dam yesterday. I will try to post pics on a new thread. I haven't posted pics before. Where did you get the emblem on your steering wheel?

Bolster repair.
Carpet Pad. and duct tape. Or new foam.
I went with duct tape and pad. Not to much pad.
Did you put anything between the springs and lower seat cushion? A piece of burlap or carpet will keep the springs from cutting into the cushion?
