Re: Hello from South Jersey!

Welcome! What do you think of the Metra kit? I have heard mixed reviews.

Checked out your site. Wanna trade links with mine at http://www.phantomss.com?

I love the Metra kit and with the Kenwood setup I installed, I got all this functionality:
  • Bluetooth
  • Backup Camera (configured for anytime use)
  • DVD/CD
  • Sat Radio/FM/AM
  • Pandora
  • iPhone (music along with movie/music videos)
  • Nav System with Live Traffic
  • Video In

The Metra kit allows you to customize the color of the top display. I matched the Metra and the Kenwood color scheme with the aqua blue of the Camaro interior lighting, so it looks like it came from the factory.



I added a link to your site under "Friend Sites". Add mine when you get a chance (www.CamaroRSSS.com). I just caught CamaroNews.com on the drops today, so I think I may develop that site as well.

Thanks!

Ken

Re: Hello from South Jersey!

I got my smoke front and rear side markers today. Took about 30 minutes to install them. Just remove the torx screws from each wheel well, this will give you enough space to reach in and unclip the old ones and pop in the new ones.

I removed "CAMARO" and the two red SS enblems I had installed on each front quarter panel. I should have my black billet SS emblems tomorrow or Saturday.

I also get my Borla ATAK Catback exhaust installed tomorrow!

Got my billet side SS emblems today. Quick 5 minute install.

Heading out to the local speed shop to drop off the car so that they can install the Borla ATAK catback tomorrow morning.

Re: Hello from South Jersey!

Got my black SS emblem for the front. When I was installing it I took the time to create a guide to help others with the GM Hertiage grille installation:

The full DIY guide can be found here:

Re: Hello from South Jersey!

Maybe it's time to move this to one of the 5th Gen forums.

Opps, I just found the member blog section...my bad. I'll update the blog from now on rather than this thread.

Putting them in the 5th gen forums is A-OK! This forum is really just for people to introduce themselves and feel welcome.
