The Agony!!..no more she has arrived!

So I ended up buying another c5 (97 torch red coupe m6) and the wait to have the car shipped to me is unbearable...

I keep surfing the forums and the web looking for mod ideas and it only seems to kill an hour at a time.....gah!

Anyways, once it arrives Ill be sure to flood the forum with pictures of the new car and some her sister.

You know my '00 has that same thing seen in the first pic - what looks like a slight "pucker" along the seam just ahead of the front tire.
