Custom Guage pod/paddle shift setup

Been working on this entire project for about 3.5 years (see sig) and this summer everything will be together ready for me to enjoy. Thought I would post a few pics of what we have been doing to the car.
A good friend of mine helped me tremendously on this project and we have labeled everything the entire way, so if anyone is interested in doing this Guage pod project let me know I have all the pics and info you will need. (Thats why I posted this in TECH)
Also since we added the Momo steering wheel, we thought it was perfect time to add the Twistmachine paddle shift setup. We have not hooked up the paddle shift as of yet but it will work with the current 4L60E or my new 4L80E.

Well here is one pic (I plan to load more in a the next day or so) the two green LED lights are for turn signals, while the red is for a check engine light. All other guages are phantom Autometer guages, still need to get the boost guage to put in the middle T/A vent.


Here are some pics of the Front XLR brakes with the 13.4 Zinc washed rotors (exact brake setup as C6 Z51) and in the back is the stock Zinc washed rotor, both calipers and brackets powdercoated.

Looks pretty cool. If I didn't know any better I'd think it was a racing video game simulator

It seriously looks clean. Props to a very nice well thought out setup, I'm just not sure about the button shifting...

When you get the paddles hooked up I would liek to see how fast it shifts. the paddle setup on the momo is the hotness!

Quick question > What does the paddle shift interface with? Really what I mean to ask is do you still have regular shifter or just paddles?

Doing the exact same gauge setup in my project car. Looks great and would like to know more info. I was planning on using Lexan and then painting it for the mounting surface. What did you use? I'm assuming 3 3/8 and 2 1/16 gauges?
