OK, it's been a while since I checked this thread.....

First off, thanks to everyone for the nice comments. Now Matt, yes I know it's time for a new plate, but, I wasn't going to pay for a new one as these phase out when I renew anyway, so with that said, I ordered new vanity plates today.

MY U4IA

Andy, it is an Auto. I drove some 6 speeds and although I liked them, It didn't take too long of driving it in KC traffic to let me know that was a real PITA, so it had to be an auto for me.

Since these pictures were taken, I've changed out the stock exhaust for a Corsa Pace Car system with the Pro tips....me likes the sound now! Red wasn't my first choice...as a matter of fact, it wasn't a choice at all...but after seeing this Mag Red, it changed my mind in a hurry. These pictures are after detailing it with clay, swirl and haze remover and two coats of Adams Americana paste wax. Now I HAVE to do something with the brake rotor hats, the rust just doesn't do the rest of the car justice. ( A winter project)

Brush on caliper paint should work fine.

That is a very nice red. Only thing I would change about the entire car is the tan interior.

To what, BLACK? Just exactly the color I didn't want. Sorry the "Light Oak" is the color I wanted. But I am considering new leather covers.

:me2: I'm right there with you, teebee! It took a while to find a Pewter/Pewter car........most all of them came with black interior, but we couldn't be happier that we found the "right" one.

It's really hard to find these cars without the Black interior. 64% of the total 2001 production had black interiors. And similar figures for 2000.

Best interior color there IMHO! My favorite C5 color is blue with the light oak interior, but that's the only color I would want with red. Looks way better than black.

Thanks, Matt. I do think that the black accents like the ones pictured would look good though.

I agree, because it plays off the dash, doorpanels, etc, but I am not a fan of 100% black, and that's what I have in my car!

I love the two tone interior. I had my seats recovered in two tone Red/black years ago, but I'm getting tired of it and am thinking of going back to the solid Torch Red seat covers again. Tom your car is just awesome!!! It makes me want to go out and find me one too!!

I just don't have room for two Vettes right now.

Thanks Don, I really like it. It's so much easier than the 94 to get in and out of. It has tons more room for luggage, we took it on vacation this past August and had plenty of space, golf clubs, suitcases, cooler, etc. My wife wasn't too keen on the idea of two either...room or not, she didn't think I needed two.

The little accents to the seats add a lot. I can get them with mag red in place of the black, and I thought that's what I wanted, but with a little Photoshop work, I really didn't like it as well as the black.

My pickup has all black interior (well I think they call it charcoal, but it's very nearly black), and as much as I like my pickup, If I could change one thing about it, it would be for a lighter color interior.
