The seats are Recaros out of a 2004 Mitsu Lancer Evo and reupholstered by a local shop.
The flares are 1" from Vettenuts, a vendor here.

I tried uploading this from my phone, but the system is too slow, and the picture is too large

THIS is my favorite shot I ever took of my C5. Zero editing, other than whacking down the quality to work on the site

Yes, I thought that I recognized the flares . What rear wheel/tire specs are you running?

Sometimes the best pics are unplanned. Last summer, I was racing home at dusk from a cruise event, top down in my 2004 vert as the Florida skies were threatening with a heavy thunderstorm. When I opened my garage door, my son had his musical equipment stacked in the garage where I park my C5 so I had to run in and move it out of the way before I could pull into the garage. When I went back to the car, I stopped and took this photo just before the clouds opened up.

Thank you I sharpened my eye for composition with this car. I have a ton of great shots. I'll share some more. Photography, and cars generate excellent synergy together as hobbies

This thread inspired me to go out and do a photo shoot with my son. These are just a couple of pics that I liked that I took with my phone. He's the budding photographer, I'll share the ones that he took with his camera when he's done with them.

I didn't take it, cause I was driving, but a buddy of mine took this on a rally to Knoxville last year. Probably the best pic of the car.
