regardless of what people say, $1500, IMO, is not bad at all.
The cheapest I see it for is $950 with a 1 year warranty, list price is $1400....right there, the fact that you bought from CC and didn't pay more than $1000 makes it a good deal. The 4-year protection plan could end up being priceless. Antenna adapter/harness/etc....who cares, thats all about $15 anyway...
Also....I want one.
If CC did that install for $250 when I see other's being charge 3x that and more for similar installs.......and for them not to f*** anything up and make it look good......kinda hard to believe actually!

You hardly EVER use motorized flip outs so you end up with this bad *** flip out screen that just looks cheap as hell most of the time since most of the time it is NOT out and you are left with just some buttons and an LED clock that stick out a foot

TO “ HIZPANICGUY21”
When you say “molding” your talking about the factory molding around the ac, and your old radio (is this what you had to sand)? If not please explain. I’m new to interior & radio stuff.
And 1 more question, I never saw the interior of a stock camaro before and wanted to know did the SS and Trans am use the same radio system, if they do can I use this unit with the TA? (If it can fit I’m definitely getting one)!!!
Again, you have the best system I’ve seen!!
Thank you 4 your help!!!!
