Good to know... that you're not a fan... We were wondering how you felt. But I disagree. Color Looks Good.!

I've been following you build for awhile now. I've said it before, and I'll say it again. One of the best interiors in a C5, period!

I figured as much when you said vacation home. I'm out there all the time, my son races at GoPro Motorplex. I go to the Cars and Coffee out there occasionally too.

Really updated an old interior.

I would love to have my seats done, but can't find anyone local to do them.

really? that's a shape, really any upholsterer should be able to do it, it's not rocket science. You can even just buy the skins and new foam and have someone do it, that alone makes a huge difference.

Your upgrades are awesome, I absolutely love your new interior.

You should have shown your updated phone in the second picture
