Re: 3rd gen dash and 4th gen console?
I installed a 4th gen auto center console and I had to hack up my radio pod and make thing smaller... Its not done, I need to find a matching face plate to go with the pod...what do you have in mind?

Re: 3rd gen dash and 4th gen console?
I did it in my camaro, but it didn't look good. I even cut up a console and made my own little camaro radio/heater pod and it still didn't look good. The way that 3rd gen dashes/consoles and the 4th gen's look don't clash very well. After some thinking I came up with a custom 3rd gen console, but it's not done yet so I'm not giving any more details about it. My advise to you is to get some ABS sheets and custom make something yourself. I just don't think that the clash of the 4th gen console is worth the benefit of cupholders.

Thanks !
Not yet, only took if for a quick little ride in the late fall, scared the hell outta me ! haha...and I still need to finish it up yet over the winter !
No, I don't have any pics of the mods required for headlamps....but it I basically modified the factory composite unit via fiberglass boxes in which I mounted the Caprice units. Quite a bit of work actually.

it looks good in a camaro, but you have to run a firebird radio pod. here is a pic of my previous setup.
