ABL (ambient lighting) limited to the doors only? - Page 27 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I think that if they put it in the door and not the dash, they will make it look good.... Why would they not? This car is awesome! they aren't going to all the sudden, right before production, make the car look like crap........

What, you don't remember the OMG the stripes are too short thing? ABL is a bigger detail than that IMO.

If they continue to work on the dash ABL and get it working, do you think they will offer to install it later for those pre-orders who missed it?

This is why I never cared too much wether they did it or not. I think if GM doesn't, someone will but who knows.

Me thinks "they " hand picked "early" cars for the West Coast.

Hotel California ...here we come.

(Glad to see mine will be on the train before CONGRESS asks for the money back. )

Whoops........ is that the next thread for Stout?

So the Mustang has ABL and the sports car for the 21st Century don't?

VJCamaro · 02-25-2009, 07:51 PM

I'll be happy to just get my car! Sure ABL all over the place will look good, but I don't think it's going to look all that bad in just the doors. It might even be distracting while driving unless you can turn it off. At least now if I drop my keys on the ground when the door is open, it shouldn't be that hard to find them now.

Your probably joking, but this is why I ordered mine now.

bobby35ny · 02-25-2009, 07:54 PM

Maybe a retrofit kit for the dash later on?

jspeak32 · 02-25-2009, 07:55 PM

Well maybe they'll keep the blue insert on the dash. If they were to remove that and keep the ABL in the door panel then yes it may look a bit odd...but if the blue "flow" is still there, just not entirely lit up, then I think it will still look good.

Nope, sorry with the sports car for the 21st Century you'll have to settle for lights in the doors and a V6 with the same horsepower output as the Mustang's V8
