Have to tell you that its not "plug and play" from an installation point of view. Stay away from it... its why I'm losing my hair. The pre-assembled and tested motorized buckets will not fit without serious cutting on the radiator support because the motors and gearboxes are mounted at the back of the bucket sticking out at least a half inch. And even once you do the metal carving, the buckets need to be slightly forward from the support to get the doors positioned so that they fit the space in the RS grill. And the last tidbit is because of all the misfits, the RL-Adapters for non RS fenders have to be extended about 3/8" to even it out at both sides.

Electro-Tek is what I should've ordered it would've been cheaper and easier to install. Hope to get mine done soon, tweaking the final adjustment with washers and spacers. Fortunately, once its all together it should be OK. Its just tedious to get it all aligned.

Its a complete RS conversion for the front end of a '69 Camaro with fully assembled and tested motorized headlight modules.
