The only time you look at the doors is when you open it.

Although as I said before I am dissapointed in this issue, in a way it is saving me money since I am for certain getting a 1SS instead of the 2SS now.. I just don't see how the interior is going to look good with only the doors lit up with LED's and not the dash. If anything, it would look more normal to not have them on the doors and only have them on the dash.. Oh well, I'm sure we will see lots of aftermarket LED's or fiber optic kits for the Camaro in the future, and I think by next year they will get this working..

That's what makes this website so different from all the others. You get everyone's views on something, both the good and the bad. Most of the regulars here appreciate that fact but others are either offended or intolerable of views that don't agree with their own.

i've always thought the dash lights might be a little distracting, but i'm not sure it will look good only on the doors.... i'm sure GM wouldnt let it look stupid just to check the ABL box.

It is easy to picture how only having the doors lit up would look like since the molding for the car and the panels are staying the same clear plastic we've seen (with only a month till production can it change to anything else?).. And I think most people will simply turn or dim ABL on the doors down to nothing since it won't be anything special if its not across the dash as well).. It would be better if the lighting was not in the panels on the door but perhaps behind the door handle or door compartment (somewhere useful) but to have the panels lit up blue and the rest of the dash panels remain the clear plastic with blue behind it (or worse a flat painted blue or orange) makes no sense. With less than a month before production starts, we all need to see pictures of what ABL will look like in the Camaro to have piece of mind for those who ordered a 2SS.. The cloth on the 1SS that matches the two tone colors on the seats looks good in grey and beige. However I wonder how it will look on the 2SS now (to clarify I mean the texture or look of the panels)

correct me if I am wrong but I thought in the origonal video Chevy had posted then took off the dash portion faded out and just left the doors lit anyway...

No, the whole dash and doors where fading in and out at the same time..There is a video of an orange interior lighting where the whole thing flickers on and off on youtube..

Well, it's nice to hear and everything, but we are going to need new interior pictures here. Our cars will be here soon and it would sure be nice to know what we are buying.
Let's see this "doors only" lighting GM. If you are afraid to show us then I'm afraid of what else you're hiding. I've been itching to buy GM stock, but with shady things like this happening I'm reluctant...not a sign of strength by any means.
