Default Why Can't I Leave ANYTHING Alone?!?!

I am switching to TA door panels in my camaro, but I don't like the bulky button for the rear view mirror adjustment. I also HATE wiring so I got to thinking......

I just sprayed some overspray around it until it built up enough & looked uniform, then painted the black over it.

LOL, yes, I did this like 2 weeks ago and I finally got around to posting. I needed a break, I had been adding and deleting tick marks for hours and my eyes were starting to go so I figured I would check out "tech" for a little while..... Back to the dungeon I go...lol.

Are you going to use firebird switches? Or are you molding in the camaro switches as well? Will the camaro harness just plug into the pontiac switches?

Yea tell me about it. Recently got a friend to start modding his 02 civic si he's had for 6yrs without touching it. Now he can't stop ordering parts for it.
