I have a question - what did you do about those "locks" on the passenger side trunk panel? It's the one you have to remove to get to the spare. Those tabs or locks or whatever that you have to turn to get the thing to stay in place - where did they go?

I don't see them in your car and it looks pretty smooth where they would be, so I'm assuming you filled these in? This picture shows the smoothness of the panel in question.

I just covered over the locks, didn't smooth it or anything. You don't need the locks to keep the panel in place so I didn't cut holes for them.

I'll be buying at least parts of the kit as soon as I get some other things paid off.

With those seats, are the seatbelts in an awkward postion at all?

why do you have SS floormats and Z28 pedals? Otherwise, the car looks amazingly clean.

looks great. Any idea on availability of a firebird kit? I assume this will be done for the LS1 birds but I have the new interior since my car is a 97 so it should work out well. It would have to be tan also.

Looks good man. I like the fact is doesn't really pop, but would definetly be noticeable to people familiar with our interiors or car show judges.

The seats are made by Arizen and the seat belts aren't too bad but I wouldn't hesitate to put a harness if I had a roll bar...

I know, I got a good deal on the SS ones and my stock mats were really worn

wow I really like that. From the other pictures I saw I didn't like it. But when/if you come out with a Firebird set I just might buy it.

wow that looks incredible, can you order the pieces seperatly or is it a whole kit? I ask this because I am short on money and would want to do the back and rear stereo speaker areas first. You did a fantastic job by the way
