Custom Guage pod, paddle shift setup Been working on this entire project for about 3.5 years (see sig) and this summer everything will be together ready for me to enjoy. Thought I would post a few pics of what we have been doing to the car.
A good friend of mine helped me tremendously on this project and we have labeled everything the entire way, so if anyone is interested in doing this Guage pod project let me know I have all the pics and info you will need.
Also since we added the Momo steering wheel, we thought it was perfect time to add the Twistmachine paddle shift setup. We have not hooked up the paddle shift as of yet but it will work with the current 4L60E or my new 4L80E.
Well here is one pic (I plan to load more in a the next day or so) the two green LED lights are for turn signals, while the red is for a check engine light. All other guages are phantom Autometer guages, still need to get the boost guage to put in the middle T/A vent.
Here are some pics of the Front XLR brakes with the 13.4 Zinc washed rotors (exact brake setup as C6 Z51) and in the back is the stock Zinc washed rotor, both calipers and brackets powdercoated.

With the paddle shifter, you still wouldn't want to downshift would you? Not sure why you would want to upshift either, but I'm no automatic expert by any means. Only owned one, my first car.

It gives you the benifits of a manuel but with out the pause in between gears, with paddle shifters you can Shift out when it stops pulling, and down shift for turns and etc.....thats just my understanding
