3 months later I finally finished the install. Not completely satisfied.

I love the button/remote placement (thanks to the one at http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showth...=1#post2144073)

I love the display placement (same place you put yours SS Drifter)

I love the speaker location (top right of the gauge cluster installed while the cluster was out- Makes it sound like its coming from the center channel and it's super loud)

Love the location of the USB (right to the top right of accellerator pedal)

Pleased with the location of the extra wire and the control module (Behind panel to the left of the clutch pedal)

Satisfied with the GPS module - located behind the current antenna/module on the outside of the vehicle (was going to do inside the window, but this is probably better)

Satisfied with laser jammer location (Inside lower grille. Fits with VHB tape if you take the build in mounts off. Looks good, and should work good

Not too pleased with my location of the radar unit and I think I am going to try to find a better place to mount it. Currently it's under the car mounted to the front bumper. It cuts into ground clearance slightly, but I could not for the life of me find any other places to mount it. It does work well there though. Thats where the SRX was mounted on my 3000GT I had before this.

Not at all happy with the rear jammer unit. It blocks the LP light and creates a "halo" around the unit like "look at me I have a laser jammer. Come harass me". So I pulled the bulbs and ran LED strips under the jammer unit. I guess I'm at a "it works" stage, but the idea of it still being like that in 10 years does not make me jump for joy. The wires are visible from the outside, and I dont like that. I'll be continuing to look for a good solution, but I haven't seen anyone with any solutions yet.

I'll probably post up an "install guide" if I get around to it.

In the meantime I posted up locations if anyone else opts to give it a shot.

and I still raise two "thoughts" as to the best placement solutions for:
1. Radar Unit
2. Rear Jammer

Rear Jammer __________________ 2010 Camaro SS modified extensively. I stretched the body to make it a 4 door, but I swapped in the 3.6L DI V6 for fuel economy. Then I picked up a corvette body around the V8. I also swapped the body for a C2 Z28. (In short I traded it for three cars, a Corvette Z06r, a C2 Camaro Z28, and a Cadillac CTS Summer Performance package 3.6L DI with Aisin 6spd.)
