Nothing too custom here, just an 35th LE swap. I did modify the door panels to match the carpet. I'm pretty happy with the results.

Thats looks good man. What kind of process did you use to get those pieces to turn out so good. Sand paper, prep, clearcoat???

Thanks I appreciate that. The big key is the prep work, as you probably know. Make sure the pieces are clean clean clean from all the armor-all and stuff that has been accumulated on them over the years. Then give them a sanding and wash them again. Then use adhesion promoter, primer, (sanding if you want them smooth, I lightly sanded to keep a little texture), then your paint, then your clearcoat. I use duplicolor engine enamel w/ ceramic base, it's my favorite clear coat out there.

What kind of sand paper did you prep with?? Something like a 1500 or something a little rougher or softer?

I think I used 1000 and that was it. But if you want it to be completely smooth you would probably need to drop down to 800, then go up to 1000, 1500, etc.

Agreed.

It should look badass once that wide body kit is on. It 'll compliment that hood nicely!

We put a Firebird dash in an LT1 Camaro, never tried the cluster as the car ended up being stolen before we had it back together.

I liked it.

For now I just swapped over the Interior of a Trans Am 2000 into my Camaro, I liked the look a little more. Doubt we need pics to know what it looks like.

I don't have a Camaro, but I painted the defroster vents and seat belt guides silver to balance out some of the other accents in my T/A which would also work for you guys?
