Sorry, I just haven’t taken pics yet mainly due to the weather. I will be doing so soon and will post up pics here and in the C7 section.

I didn’t figure you would leave us hanging! I don’t venture outside the C5 forum much, enough temptation here as it is.

No, not a traitor - there is still a huge place in my heart for the C5. I just wanted something newer with more up to date features. I will definitely miss my C5 though.

Here is a link that shows pics of the new car.

Mike - no mods planned at this time. Have to recover from the cost of the car, the increased insurance premium, sales taxes, etc.

Wow your C5 was a real beauty. Must have hurt to trade that in. I tried to trade mine in recently. Couldn't do it.

Please provide me information, instructions and/or advice on how to prep, prepare and paint the acrylic lens of the Targa Top on my 1994 C-4 Corvette. The clear vinyl is peeling and appears checked.

Send me a PM with your e-mail address and I'll forward you what I have for the C5 targa top. Might help you out.

Sorry, but this is a 1.5 year old thread - time to put it to rest.
