Some other toys for the Camaro

Along with the stereo install, there are also other "toys" or gadgets in the car that get comments regularly.
Dakota Digital Gauges custom made for the 90-92 style dash. Dakota Digital stocks only the 82-89 style.
In one of the voids under the dash pad is located the central unit for my Nokia CK-7W bluetooth capable hands free kit. It was a perfect fit and out of the way.
Here is a triple pod fabricated to accommodate gauges for the amplifier (L-R volts/current/temp).

Thank you. Some would argue though that they like the analogue type gauges so they don't have to "read' them and just watch the sweep of the needle. I agree with how they feel, but this is not a race car and never will be

The gauges go with the rest of the dash and the head unit, I've also changed the light in the defroster switch to match as well as the HVAC control. I added some LEDs to the interior door handles and connected them to the dash light circuit, so that they are easy to find in the dark. :) I'm glad you guys like it, there is also some custom upholstery work sice it was less expensive to go that way than using OEM cloth.

I always like digital dashes, back in their heyday there were some really cool ones out there!
but like you said, people don't like to read (lol)
