Steven, what color is that? It may just be the pictures, but I can't recall seeing that color before on a C5. It really does look terrific.

Good luck... GUSTO

Great job! Heck guy, I have quick jacks, low profile floor jack, regular 5 ton floor jack and about 3 1.5 ton floor jacks plus 6 jack stands. You just can not have too many.
Have fun with yur car and drive that puppy.

That color looks fantastic. Glad you solved your issue. After a surprise 5 way bypass last year, I'm avoiding getting under the car.

thanks guys! I was away for a couple of weeks but I've been driving he car and enjoying it since my snafu the other day.

The car needs a few things to be fixed in order to be perfect (TPMS replacement, small AC leak) but nothing major impeding my enjoyment of the car ^^

Also, not to re-up a topik from a solved issue but I just stumbled upon this video :

Would you look at that, now we're 2 idiots to have made the same mistake
