couple updates, i put the grille in the hood (major pain in the ***...), put my 6LE grille in the bumper, put my dash back together, and played with the tune some more...i actually took some real pictures this time, although the car is still filthy...

yeah mine is pretty nasty looking, the pic makes it look way worse than it is, but it IS pretty bad. i will definately be picking up a new one...
i have an extra.
do you listen to the car a lot, or are monsoon decks actually okay? it looks fantastic but i cant imagine putting in all that work to retain a (nicelooking) stock setup

That's kinda the point, I want as clean and stock looking setup as possible. Obviously the illusion is ruined by the exhaust's song, but nonetheless I wanted the car to be the same as OEM, only different.....if that makes sense. I really just didn't want an aftermarket head unit. I also wanted the interior to all look uniform, so when the blue A-pillar gauges went in, everything else had to change.
What do you want for that TA bezel?

Yes I was very disappointed to see that the clock cannot be changed. The only possible way that I could imagine was putting some kind of colored cellophane inside the display to change the color but I seriously doubt that would work.

IMO I would paint the Chevy symbol in the grille to match the car or paint it black. That is probably the ONLY thing I do not love about your car haha. You do some damn good work man!
I normally do no like steel in the grilles of camaros, but your entire theme looks really good. That hood is bad *** and the grille pulls it all together.
I agree on the stock radio. I am a major fan of OE modifications. I like to have the car look different, but as if the manufacturer did all of the upgrades. I am in the process or re-locating the traction control panel and button to the roof between the t-tops as we speak.

I have some leds in my hvac. But the red part doesn't light up red.. what kind of leds are you using? I'm assuming mine are pretty strong. And the odometer looks bad a$$ I've been wanting to do it to mine but I'm a bit scared of attempting it.

All my LEDs came from superbrightleds.com. They have pages showing what bulbs you need to replace oem bulbs, there's even a thread on here showing what bulbs you need. I'd get you a link but I'm typing this from my phone....sorry.

BFG tires are here, courtesy of Discount Tire. They will be mounted today or tomorrow and then the car will be aligned and inspected and on the road.I've gotta go to Norfolk, VA sunday for a few days then I'll start tuning when I get back a little more seriously.
