Default Custom guage face pics, MBA, shift light, part deux !

Just posting some pics of the final results. Changed all of the cluster lighting to LED's including all the small service lights and electronic flasher to correct the load on the blinkers. I would definitely tell anyone who is thinking about attempting this on a 93-97 firebird to ask me question to save yourself alot of headache. Their are quite a few pitfalls on firebirds to get the entire guage cluster to operate on LED's, even the sockets that hold the LED's are unique on the 93-97 birds. I finished doing the install of everything ( LED's in guage, blinker & service lights, red & black custom guage face panel, MBA billet guage bezel (polished & cleared), new lens for guages, installed some of the MBA billet HVAC and Light controls (polished & cleared), Shift Light bullet (RED LED's), installed the AEROFORCE tech interceptor guage (completely working now, I really like this guage) PONTIAC special edition logo on startup with a custom carbon fiber ring holding the guage). I have taken a bunch of different shots and I am pleased with the results (especially at night ) ,but the process was very arduous ! ughh....

PICS:

Nice. Now go rape all the other 4th gens at your nearest car gathering, they ought to be jealous when they see that interior. I take it the interceptor gauge is like a LM1??

I think LM1 is a wideband isn't it? I think this interceptor gauge just reads some parameters off the PCM right? Similar to what some of the VW owners use. You plug it into the diagnostic port and you can view data in real time on the gauge. BTW, I WANT THIS DAMN CAR.

Okay, now I remember. LM1=wideband, Interceptor reads real-time of 20+ something parameters. I find the interceptor guage to be very helpful on some items. Come get the car it's in Texas (JUST KIDDING )

Thanks again for all the compliments. I will be adding more pics of the interior when I get a chance to install some of the other items.

Does the Interceptor use the diagnostic port as well?

Yes (OBD II diagnostic portage), you will need to run their supplied 22 guage power turn-on wire to a switched source and your done.
