Hey, everyone .... thanks in advance for your advice on this one. I have a 1988 Corvette coupe, bright red. I ordered touch up paint from MidAmerica for my car: item code #272 (86-92 GM Code 81). The red touch up paint is slightly too orange (light) for my car, which has obviously been...

Happy New Year, friends! I am looking at upgrading the interior of my 1988 C4 coupe (flame red). I saw on Mid American Motorworks replacement console cushions -- Finish Line Console Cushion - two-tone There is an installment process, and I am afraid I might have trouble replacing the lid...

Ron, do you have the glass top (smoke tint/blue tint)? I have the red targa top, and I really would like to get the glass top one day. I think it would look great!

Hey, Ron Jump in! Your car looks great! I don't think mine looks that nice, but you are giving me something to aspire to! The mats I found are in the Mid America Motorworks catalog and online. I am thinking about the black mat with red C4 logo and Corvette script. I have black mats in the...

The carpet in the rear of my 1988 C4 is in great shape except for being faded. I saw online a very nice cargo mat for the rear area and wondered if anyone has purchased a mat and, if so, does it improve the look? I have never seen one in a Vette. Thanks for your opinion! Happy New Year!

I am getting a manual for my 88 C4, but until it arrives, may I ask this question so that I don't awaken my neighbors at 5AM again? I am not certain how to arm and disarm my alarm. It is a factory alarm. I hear a strange clicking sound when it is going off -- together with the horn...

Update on carpet dye I googled "car carpet dye" and found several detailing websites for car dealers. I ordered the carpet dye, sprayer bottle, and brush. I'll let you all know how it turns out! Thanks!

My 1988 C4 is Bright Red. Do I need to order touch up paint only with this color name? On several paint sites I have been given the name Flame Red -- no option available for Bright Red. Also, Wal-Mart sells a universal red for GM -- would that work? If you have a suggestion or link for...

I have a bright red C4 coupe. The carpet (red) is faded in the back area. The front, with the exception of the door sills, is fine. I'd like to replace the faded carpet in these areas, but it is expensive. I just replaced the audio in my car, and the installer said the carpet is glued to...

Happy Holidays to Everyone Here! Wishing you a very MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR -- and HAPPY HOLIDAYS! I appreciate this site and all of you very much. You are knowledgeable, kind, sincere, caring people. My C4 is my first Corvette, and I have a lot to learn. You all have...

Thank You! I appreciate this forum so much. I have never had a Vette before, and having the car has been a great experience thus far. Part of that experience is being able to share my enthusiasm for the car and to learn from others who share the same passion. I want to thank you -- and all...

Thanks for this forum. I have an 88 C4 coupe. It's a great car except for a few quirks. I bought the car several months ago -- it drives and rides well. However, two warning lights come on -- usually during the first 30 mins or so of driving. They then usually go off for no apparent reason...

I am considering replacing the stock system in my C4 (1988 coupe) with a Jensen system with motorized (flip out) screen (VM9512 7-Inch Motorized Touch-Screen Multimedia Receiver). The installer is not certain if the system will fit for two reasons: 1) depth of dash space for installation of...

I bought an 88 Corvette coupe recently. The car has green coolant in it. In case I need additional coolant in the future to add, I did some research here and learned about Zerex green coolant. It meets GM standards for their 1988 vehicles. I went shopping to buy today, but none of the area NAPA...

I purchased recently a 1988 C4 coupe (red). The car has great paint except underneath the doors on both sides. The very edge of the body before the undercarriage begins has some chipped paint. You cannot see this unless you are several feet away from the car --up close you would never know...

What would cause a car to spill coolant from the recovery tank moments after it is started and then turned off? In other words, say you started the car from cold and backed it out the garage -- the car ran for a minute or two tops. Then, after a while of sitting, there is coolant underneath...

Thanks for this forum. Last month I purchased my first Vette - a 1988 C4 in great condition overall. The car runs and drives very well, except for the rattles in the doors -- but that's another subject. I drove the car home after I bought it-- over 400 miles -- all interstate miles...

I recently purchased a brilliant red 1988 C4 coupe. The entire car is red, including the seats, and the interior is trimmed in wood grain. When I first saw the car, I could not believe this. The wood grain, to me, did not fit the car. So, after I bought the car, I special ordered a dash...

I have a 1988 Corvette coupe with a red Targa top. This top is the OEM top. If I wanted to replace this top with a glass top, would it be a perfect fit, or would I need adjustments to make it work? If adjustments are needed, would these changes negate my use of the original top? Thanks...
