New pics.

I just got all my parts back(over a period of time) from RPI for the interior so here are some new pics with Aurora's top off. I have to change the splitter (again) and I'm going back to black trim on the splitter as opposed to yellow. I'll be getting the seats done by Katzkins to finish her.

Thanks The SS Godfather, I always have to be careful of "not too much yellow". Your front end picture is going in my "camaro Files" I love the way you did the red and white!!!!

Love the theme and look of this car - very well integrated. The smooth painted console is a killer item, I don't think you can even buy it anymore. Sending off the Grain and painting it is a nightmare.

Yes sir! If you keep on top of it, it's a piece of cake, and doesn't take very long to do either. Heck, after that pic when we got home and she cooled down for several hours, she got the entire treatment before I covered her up.

There she is!! What a glorious lady Aurora is!! I really really love how you did the yellow/black interior mods, very tastefully done, and NOT overwhelming, just right! Kudos to you and your wife for suck great taste in your Camaro journey. When you do get the Katzkins done, that will be the icing on the cake!!

Thank you hesster. yeah, I had to purchase a center console and the other parts and send them to RPI to get painted and they offered to "Smoothie" them for me. They still have some parts(must have excess on their shelves) online but a lot of them are discontinued. I agree, I couldn't have the patience to get that Grain off but they offered to do it for me. Of course that adds to the price but they do great work.

Gee, I wonder where I got the Katzkins idea?

So true, it is easy then and ready for the next trip ! Use heaps of microfiber cloths...She's never had a wash in the 4.5 years I owned her ! Big Maguires fan .
