Like your pics. Great color combination. The engine bay leaves a bit to be desired.

The avatar says you have a "1998" ??? A slight typo perhaps?

All Anniversary Editions were Ruby Red Metallic. I hope you didn't pay extra for it being an "Anniversary Car" because if you did, you got ripped off.

You asked "What do you think of my C4 pics". Here is my opinion.
Pic. 1. Nice shot from above the car but the background sucks.
Also, the side of the car is in shadow and looks like a big lump.
2. It looks a bit overexposed. Also you have a lot of cleaning to do.
You will have it looking good soon.
3. The interior shot is out of focus. What I can see of the interior
looks good.
4. The background is very cluttered and it appears there is a
finger in the upper part of the photo.
5. The background is cluttered.
6. A duplicate of 5.
7. You have your shadow right in the middle or the car. Not good.

However, it looks like you have a nice car to start with. The top looks pretty good in the photos. The interior looks good. The paint will look a lot better after you wash it good, go over it with a claybar, and buff it two or 3 times, using a finer polish each time, and then giving it a good wax job. Then the swirl marks, etc shown in 7 will be gone and it will have a great shine. Here are 2 photos of my 1992 - as I got it home from Phoenix and after I cleaned it up. The first photo has a lousy background but it shows the condition of the car well. The second photo has the side of the car well lit in a later afternoon sun, and the color of the car stands out well from the background. You will notice no swirl marks, etc. in the paint. I used Griot's claybar, polish 1 and 3 and Griots sealer.
