Looks great...I think you wired your oil pressure wrong.

I'm a huge fan of them.
The Interceptors were the same cost as the Autometers but read a substantial amount of parameters.
As you can see in the first pic they will not read oil pressure, which I knew before they purchased so I'm not too let down.
My ONLY gripe about them is that you don't have the ability to dim them.
Getting those ****'s to not be as bright is my next mission.

For those requesting a write-up or a reproduction of this piece it's probably not going to happen.
Moving that vent to the center is an art in itself.
I have many hours into this piece that cannot be duplicated by a write-up.
If someone could inform me of an easy way to get a mold/tool made let me know.

Money makes people do strange things, you couldn't put a price on such a work of art?

Just to give you a heads up I have this one of these on my a pillar. I love mine as well. When you go through the settings I believe you can dim them. There is also a way to hook up the oil pressure you just have to buy something else, Im not to sure what. All I know is there's a way to do it, Im sure someone else with one of theses will chime in.

I remember reading something about being able to hook up the oil pressure.
However, I was unaware of the dimming feature.
The 'manual' they came with is more than inadequate and I haven't had the time to play with them yet.
Thanks for the tip. I'll check it out tonight.

Oil pressure needs like a 0-5v out and the gauge is supposed to interpret it i believe. I'll see if I can find where I found it.

Alt: You are correct. Thanks for the heads up.
What I just read, in a few different threads, is that "the PCM doesn't use the oil pressure signal at all so the interceptor will not show oil pressure on it." (Thanks sixvi6-camaro)
And Aeroforce has a sending unit on their site for ~$60. Apparently that's the only way.

Here's a thread for reference: https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthrea...re+interceptor

Sweet, that looks **** bro. That is one of the coolest looking guage setups ive seen for a camaro. i always liked how the firebird boys could put guages in their vents. The single vent is a nice touch too, kinda like the vette...

They're Lloyd floor mats. I picked them up from a sponsor (don't remember which one) during a GP.
The mats very nice and match the StockInteriors carpet well.
A problem I have with them is they have the provisions for fasteners.
This means they have two holes in each mat and you are not able to mount fasteners to passenger-side floor because of the way it's shaped.
So it looks pretty dumb.
