Default 100k mile celebration

New seat covers and foam (better for my tush), high line detail (TR red really pops) and new chrome replica wheels. Top hats on rotors painted black, looks much better and painted over the brake pads that show thru the calipers.

Congrats! Did nothing too cute on my car's way from 109K to 120K miles. Only cosmetics was repainting the nose for rock chips and light damage to the nose.
Keep it rollin'

I'm old enough to remember when it was time to get a new car when the old one hit 100K, but it seems like the C5s are still getting better at this point (except for the seats of course)...congrats on the milestone!

Thanks for all the appreciation. The C5 is a great car and I will die before it does.

I'm not big on taking pictures, the info should be sufficient. I thought there was a photo album on CF.
