Thanks for all the nice comments.
I do need to get a few minor things on the interior taken care of.
The rear center console soft touch covering is in really bad shape so I'm probably going to get it redone in paint to match to add some color to the grey interior. They don't need it but I'll probably get the bumperettes done in body color as well.
The exterior is in really good shape for the age with no obvious stone chips or dings but it could use a once-over with some 3M Swirl Remover. I'll get to that as soon as the weather and time permits.
Lastly, as soon as I find a local place to buy some brake fluid I need to flush the existing stuff out as it is apparently still original. Can't buy from the local dealer as they mark up all their parts 100% or more!
I do need to get a few minor things on the interior taken care of.
- The center dash vents are leather covered and the PO must have dug their nails into them when adjusting the position as they are worn to the underlying black plastic in 2 spots. I'd prefer them to be black as they'd match the CF surround better but the replacement cost for them + cupholder is outrageous, even for the plastic ones.
- The passenger side door pull has a small nick that needs fixing.
- The passenger seat inside bolster is worn smooth in the front area. Not sure how that could happen as the color isn't worn off. It's just weird.
- The driver seat back needs a bit of touch up.

What a great roadtrip and some very nice pictures of the trip along the way. I loved the line about setting the cruise control at 105.
I got my C4S at the middle of April and love it, I'm sure you will too.
Enjoy!
