Car Refreshing!!
My car is currently at a speed shop getting kinks worked out and hopefully will be back to me in a few weeks 
I thought with all the mods i have already done which is a but load i would be done but NOOOOOO! I am thinking of adding flared fenders and change rims to add rims with lips and 345 tires to give the car a more of a sinister aggressive look. 
then add carbon fiber hash marks on the fender. BUT WAIT! theres more 
I was also going to repaint the car black cherry but since having a c5 in the shop that i had to do some paint work on the rocker (which really sucked by the way) I have decided to go with sanding the car with 800 sandpaper then reclear it with like 3 coats of clear sand and buff it so it will give the mag red a deeper depth 
current pic of the car and thoughts of what i am thinking of doing?

Great looking car. I love the Mag Red color so I would say do what you have planned - a deeper shine would look awesome.

Your car looks great, and clear coats will make it even better. I'd like to do that too, some day. Love to see pics after you are done (before and after)
I would not put flared fenders on your car, or mine. The lines of C5 are too sleek and nearly perfect, to mess with.
Opinions are free... Nice car.
