I am a total noob at this kind of thing! There were a few times when working on the instrument cluster that I thought to myself "what the hell am I doing?!?" and also where I thought I might have broken something important.

But I didnt, and in the end, it looks AWESOME, if I do say so myself

A big "THANK YOU" to 2SSRS for the DIY on the doors http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=115234
and to to ANGLWNGSS for the DIY on removing/chaning the instrument cluster http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=162226

My next mod will be the camarorick's ambiant lighting DIY on the front dash (still waiting on parts) and changing the colors in the STEREO and switches. Hopefully this week or next. Then, it will be to the real stuff - lowering, cai, exhaust, etc.

That's hawt! Good work!

This weekend, drove it from my old home (Portland, OR) to my new one - Sacramento, CA. What a fabulous car this is on the road! Comfortable, smooth, responsive and great mpg. Got 27 going 70-75 through the pass fully loaded with all my stuff. Then got all the bugs off and quick-detailed it as best I could in the parking lot of the hotel I'm in. Next steps: Find a good DIY car wash close-by -- shouldn't be a problem down here.

Got out the Bounce sheets and Adams DS and got rid of some LoveBugs.
They seriously need to get rooms and leave our poor cars alone.

Yelled at the silly seatbelt getting twisted as it always seems to do. She does have her 4th set of rear tires on order though.

Wow 4 sets! She's a shoe-ho ain't she?

I have a trunk project going on today once the coffee kicks in.

Well she is one of the oldest 5th Gens still around. Kind of interesting to find allot of the low VIN's are now insurance salvage cars. Do not let it be said I enjoy my car. And she does have over 33K on her living in the hot Alabama heat the tires do tend to melt to the asphalt.

Tires and gas... you buy it to burn it! You enjoy your car, I will let it be said!

I drove to work at WOT to hear the new Injen CAI that I installed yesterday.

I'm more impressed with the additional sound that compliments the Corsa very nicely than I am with the slight performance increase, but then again my 11 second turbo car spoiled me... there's nothing like a simple mod that'll add 100hp with the turn of a knob.

SpeedFreak5 · 09-26-2011, 06:11 PM

Installed Black Side Gill Inserts. They look great.

I just watched the odometer turn to 30,000. Still lovin' it.

Iroczlover · 09-26-2011, 06:13 PM

sweated about the fact when I got home there was a tree down across the drive way, Glad the camaro is in the garage lol

Patrol.in.a.Camaro · 09-26-2011, 06:26 PM

I think I might go out right now and remove the dealer sticker from the back of the Camaro. I just haven't made time for it yet

Well I love mine more. Just turned 46,000 today. You need to catch up

Still love it just as much as the day I drove it home (In a snow storm

).
