Here's my car shortly after I took ownership of it a couple of months ago, and after my first go-round of detailing it and cleaning it up a bit:

The car is basically stock but with AFS 5-spoke wheels, the hood badges, a hurst shifter, 1-4 bypass, and one of those goofy power-plate things on the ashtray lid. It also had a t-handle "ZR-1" embossed shift knob, but I put the stock on back on (though it wasn't stored well and I'd like to replace it with a more mint one).

I've changed the oil, coolant, tranny fluid, plugs, replaced the brake pedal switch so the high-mounted lights work, and I need to replace the reverse switch and address a secondary leak. The injectors seem to leak slightly as well, I'm trying some Chevron Techron hoping that fixes it, otherwise they'll go off to get rebuilt.

The car is a lot of fun, for sure! And I really love the way the C4 looks. It can look fairly flat in photos, but it has a lot of curves. The way the fenders curve out, and buldge up on the hood, and the curve at the bottom of the body. Such a gorgeous car!
