Keeps looking better and better. You should have picked up the white gauge overlay for the HVAC location to finish it off. Its definitely going to look good with the 35th wheels.

Nice Steve! But now I got worried...

Nice polish of the headlights, I think I have to do that on mine (your old one).. They were kind of dull.

My car have not arrived to Gällivare yet.. It will arrive next Tuesday.
How was the smog on the new one Not as bad as mine?

I have bought a RevXtreme catch can which I will install so I can pas visual inspection..

Looks good!

Use a powerful shop vac and carpet cleaner.

I think it looks overdone w/ anything more than the two pieces I did.

The plastics are in great condition and Ebony already so unless I get board they'll be staying.

Yeah, this is the first Camaro I've had that will "pass" smog Can't believe you haven't got the Camaro yet! Did you get someone to transport it to your house or are you still going to have to drive it home? Good luck

Well if you didnt use the firebird bezel then you would lose a needle stop unless you poked a hole in the overlay.

love the white gauges man. The only reason I kept mine black with a decal was because everyone has the white faced gauges and wanted to be a lil diff, but thoseon your car look really good.Keep up the good work

Yeah, it's almost a given that I have to have white gauges with a white car and soon to be white leather

I think you made a good decision transporting the car to you instead of trying to drive it home 800 miles on icy roads! I'd rather have a M6 but since I don't have anything planned motor wise, it doesn't bug me much.

Hi,

Looking really good so far.

I was thinking about taking up the carpet in my SS to lay down some sound insulation material, but couldn't find out how to remove the seatbelt on the front seats, where it's secured to the floor..... is there a special tool and if so, where can you pick it up from (is there an online retailer)?

Cheers,
UK_CamaroSS

It's a T47 Torx or you can even use a 5/16" Hex.

REALLY looking at doing the whole sound deadening thing. The car right now is LOUD with the exhaust I have and can get kinda drony on the highways.

Do you think it would help with the drone and interior noise?
