Caravaggio Widebody Speedster
We are in the middle of building a Wide body Speedster for a local customer. We are just in the middle of trying to decide the interior color.

Chopped windshield? Looks sweet. I Don't even want to know what that's costing him, but it will be badass!

It's going to look great. IMO, a mod red interior would be killer.

On a car with so much custom work like this, A factory color should be out of the question IMO. Gotta make it 100% one of a kind!

The car is beautiful hands down and that color...amazing.
As for the interior, all black would be a bit bland and same goes for any color really. I think a two tone job would look awesome, black dash with bordeaux inserts with possible matching stitch work. Same for the doors; black with contrast inserts/panels and bordeaux seats with same color microsuade/alcantara centers. Goal would be a stock like interior, but far better of course.
Anywho, regardless of color choice so long as it wasn't monochromatic with a minimalist approach with color, I think it would do that Vette justice.
As a side not, I think you would sell a good number of those front bumpers in an OEM fitment ie. non wide body. Slightly modifying the front lip as it rounds the sides (not as squared off matching the wb skirts) would allow customers to choose diff side skirts.

Thanks for the pics John. Never seen a C5 with a chopped wind shield. Looks 
.
Go with the Ferrari Bordeaux for the interior. Very classy colour.
Keep us posted on the build.
