89 Camaro Vert.

Not sure if I'm posting in the right section but I wanted to share my Vert. with the rest of you. It's been a long 10 months but she's 95% complete.

Re: 89 Camaro Vert.

I incorporated LED's in the front turn signals as day-time running lights, The turn signal takes up the top portion and the LED's are on the bottom.

Headlights are 6k H.I.D's, I can now see at night.
LED lamps in the instrument cluster give off a nice light blue hue.
MOMO Steering wheel feels awesome.

Re: 89 Camaro Vert.

Thank's guys, I will post mp3 tomorrow of exhaust with the dump open, sounds amazing.
Electric dump switch is on the right where defroster would be and meth injection on the left.

Have you taken it to the track? What's your best time?
Going to see fd I can make it this weekend, still chasing some false knock issues with the exhaust. Running 17psi now on 93 and hoping to get 22psi with the meth.
