Total newbie finally begins his modifications

[Compunerd]

My first lights arrived today. Need to go grab some silicone adhesive for the Afterburners and get started on installation.

[Compunerd]

Having more trouble than I thought I would, removing the lenses from the tail lights. Too late to stop now...

can't wait to see the pics

[Compunerd]

Well it may be a bit before I can get pics posted. The motor on my dremel burned out before I even got through removing the first lens from the housing. Trying to figure out how else I can get them removed.

[Compunerd]

FINALLY finished. I worked on these things for 13 hours(goes to show how big a newbie I really am...) but it was worth it.

For some reason, AAC only sent me 4 t-taps when I needed 8. Thankfully I was able to make it to AutoZone before they closed and buy the last pack they had in stock.

On the plus side, I got to tell people throughout the day that I was planning on robbing a train.

Next up: footwell SMD lighting and my sidemarkers when they arrive.

Got my footwell lighting installed, will take pics and post them when my headache goes away.

[Compunerd]

Got my AAC LED Sidemarkers installed, as well as my footwell lighting and blue interior LED's in the trunk and dome lights. Been slacking, and haven't got pictures taken yet. I'll post them shortly.

I ordered the painted plastic trim, silver, for my doors and dashboard, and will be installing ABL in them once I find out exactly how. I've got the dash part down fairly well, but I haven't been able to find a DIY on how to do the door panels. I may have to do some investigation into my moms 2SS and see how they are wired. If anyone has the link to a DIY that I have been completely unable to find, please let me know.

Next up: debating between Carbon Fiber NS-1 stripes, or getting the halos for my headlights and fog lights, as well as HID bulbs.

Here are the pics. I wanted them to be all in the dark, but the stupid motion sensing light in the driveway wouldn't allow it. And I sure wasn't turning it off, since it doesn't like to come back on.

Nice job!! I have the same Halos and think those definitly look the best..

[SilverSlayer-SS]

looks great bro

[Compunerd]

I just got an email from ShopChevyParts saying GM has changed the availability of the door/dash trim to "future part" with no availability date, and asked if I'd like to cancel my order. Has anyone seen this before? Should I cancel the order and try to find the parts somewhere else?

Edit: I just cancelled the order. Currently stalking the classifieds for any available silver ABL panels. If anyone has a set available, PM me please.

I plan on buying the Anvil glossy Carbon Fiber spoiler along with a set of Carbon Fiber NS-1 stripes. Hopefully I'll have the money for it whenever the spoiler finally comes off backorder.
