Default TA door panels in camaro

yes did a search but didnt get the information i needed. i noticed that the camaro door doesnt have the holes for the TA panel to bolt in. what did you guys who did the swap do for this part? besides that any other issues anyone has encounterd?

i read the whole mirror doesnt work, i might end up using the TA door wiring

just match up the wires for the mirror they are the same colors just different format, for the no handles i took a few bolts and bolted it to the side by the door handle, they seem to hold up well, for the summer so far havent needed any attention after i finished

also camaro little locks, the little black piece with the orange sticker, it doesnt fit in the t/a door handle, so be sure to get t/a lock things whatever the hell youd call it

I never hooked up the mirror when i did it. Someone told me you have to run new wires side to side. Basically you cut off the 2 middle tabs on the door that the camaro panel used to bolt in. Put the ta panel on and mark the spots to drill and put screws in.

i like the look of the TA door panel over the camaro. camaro reminds me of an old truck door panel and doesnt flow well with the car. also like the extra tweeter placement along with the angle of the speakers.

as for wiring if i have to i can get full TA door wiring with no problem


so the few of your are just running your own screws in the doors? anyone running backing support so the panel when pulled on doesnt break the inside part of door? right now i have the panel on but with no screws in place as im in the test and mock up phase of my camaro restoration

what i did was mark the spots where the screws were going. Then drilled the holes. Then what i did was take off that plastic square looking nut thing and relocated it to the new hole i drilled. Screw the screw into the black nut and wala !

guess maybe a benefit would be having another place to mount a speaker. the extra tweeter above the regular door speaker.
