Also need to get the door panels off to complete the look.

Anyhow, onto the pics :

Looks Awesome.... Don't know about anyone else... but it looks like this belongs in the movie Tron.

Nevermind, I found it. Will I be able to use the stock LS panels or do I still need to buy new panels for it to work?

Look at 157 and 187.

You will need the acrylic panels. The cloth covered panels will not allow the light to shine through the door panels. At least that is my understanding.

Why do you refer to them as cloth covered? My panels are hard plastic theres no cloth on them what so ever...

You said you had an LS?
LS Camaros come with basic trim, which would be the cloth covered plastic panels. Did you upgrade your panels to the acrylic ones?

Oh man...I feel like a proud papa all of the sudden!

Your lights look INCREDIBLE! You REALLY did a good job!

And this is when I want to say to the others, "I TOLD YA SO!"

LOVE IT!

VERY VERY VERY nice.

That looks awesome!! Has anyone done one with Synergy Green panels yet? I just want to know how it looks before I go tearing into my dash. If I have to be the first then so be it, but I'm hoping someone else has done it already.

Thanks much! Like I said..I still need to do the door and make a couple little tweaks..

Great idea you came up with!

Actually, the LS is not cloth covered, and it is pretty nice looking. They are a solid plastic panel that is "Titanium" in color, they also have the matching texture to the rest of the dash.

Great job. Looks really even all the way across especially on the passenger side best photos I have seen yet.I was wondering though, all the pics that I have seen so far(everyones) make the drivers side next to the speedometer appear heavier in appearance is that just the camera or is this the case?
I have all the pcs. to start mine just waiting for a little warm weather here to get started on it.Can't wait love the look. Thanks

Yes sir. Will these work for ABL for now until I get the $$ to upgrade to nicer trim or am I still s.o.l and need new trim before I can do anything?
