What he said. i did the conversion. you have to cut off some tabs on the door skin. also your power mirrors will no longer work unless you re-wire the whole system

why do you lose power mirror? the wiring should be the same... atleast i would think so, since everything else b/t the two vehicles is the same

no the hookups for the t/a mirrors dont match up, i have t/a door panels in my camaro, which i will be doing a write up shortly for the mirror wire change and also its a best interest for you if you brace up the door panel before you attach it

the T/A panels on the camaro looks really cool!! but its a pain in the *** for sure. my buddy had an SS and picked up some T/A panels and put them in. you have to re-route all the wiring and all stuff. but looks good at the end!!

could you just use butt connectors and splice each wire, once you figured out which wires go to what movement? should be same voltage so you wouldnt be blowin fuses.
