That is one sick over-the-top C5! If you were to only do a few of the mods, it would look out of place. But because you've done ALL of them, they complete the look of the finished product! Well done!

I always get a chuckle when I see those fuzzy dice hangin' off that mirror...ooops, I guess I'm not supposed to look.

Seriously though, I truly respect all the time, energy and creativity that you've put into your car. Though I prefer a different style, there's no denying that your car is done very well...and...lookin' good as usual!

That car will ALWAYS be Ricks. He has made it his own and even if he were to sell it.......it would still be Ricks car.

Fortunately this car isn't FIT for anybody else....LOL! I couldn't unload it even if a band of hookers was thrown in the deal....LOL!

I wanted a C6Z06 then flirted the idea of a GS, then a C7....but once I actually look back at the car.....Naaahhhhhh not ever gonna part with it!

I really like all the changes you have made to your car - it certainly is one of a kind. Even the fuzzy dice is .
