Post Door ABL Lighting Mod to Run All the way to dash

Hey every one i found a way to get the ABL (Ambient) lighting to run all the way up to the dash

no parts needed just a few tools you can pickup from any auto parts store (CHEAP) if you don't already have them

just about anyone could do it....

there are lots of pictures and step by step direction on how to do it on my personal blog

i am new to camaro5 and don't know how to add all the pictures and iWeb is just too easy i put it together in my spare time :-)

heres the link

(It's my personal blog)

Nice blog, but it seems like a lot of work for an additional 2 inches of light,

Excellent writeup. I don't have mine yet, but I think it may have cloth covered inserts (cloth interior)
I may have to buy plastic panels and buy lightstrips.
At least I know how to remove it.
Thanks.

Maybe, although I enjoy doing things like this especially with things I love like my camaro

It's really not all that hard it just seems like lots of thing because I put in all the details but once you do the first panel you should be able to zip right through the next

but if you don't mind the way the lighting is now then it don't have to be done but i'm not a half way kind of guy I mean if the lighting is not going to be right I rather it not be there at all you know what I mean?

And if your planing to do the dash (like I am) I would sugjest this to be mandatory
