Man that is nice. What are you doing with the center/airbag part of the wheel?

http://www.caravaggiocorvettes.com It doesn't say anything about Camaro parts on there. They mostly do Corvettes. They can do anything you want though. Just call and ask for John. Tell him you saw Jason's Camaro steering wheel and he'll give you a price. They are not cheap, but that level of quality never is. They are currently doing a complete interior for a 2010 Dodge Challenger we're building for SEMA.

Yes. I designed them and had Signarama print them in vinyl. The bow tie is die cut so it shows the yellow through it.

At this point with what you've invested, you could probably have bought the real one!

I have a lot invested in the car but nowhere near that.

Love the build! Probably one of the coolest builds on the site. I love the LT5 version, and this is an awesome rendition with newer technology. Absolutely dig it!

That turned out really cool. You've got a great eye for it man. I'm impressed with how well the theme was brought "indoors" tastefully, when using such an "in your face" color. Only thing that could have been better would have been using Recaros.

Re: 1991 Camaro Z28 1LE resto-mod project
The key to doing such a wild color scheme is to do it tastefully in accents, not on every piece I could. All interior parts have been painted with either SEM Trim Black or SEM Color Coat gray to match OEM parts. I did the seats 4th gen gray on the sides with the neon yellow on the front face. Black leather on the steering wheel, shifter and parking brake with the neon yellow stitch. This works great on a 1991 because the dash emblem is a very similar color yellow along with the gauge cluster and all the button lettering. Everything in the interior is either gray, black or yellow. Everything on the exterior or engine compartment is white, purple, yellow or black. With very few exceptions.

Re: 1991 Camaro Z28 1LE resto-mod project
I get that and, I still think it turned out amazing. I just was thinking about how the Recaro LSC is the quintessential 80's- 90's era performance seat, and the mesh optioned head rest would have fit perfectly into the car with as much retro touches you have going. Recaro being an option in Pontiac parts bin wouldn't have been too far off of thought that the factory could have done it.
Anyway, I'm blabbing when again we should continue drool over the car. If you have any blemished valve covers hanging around at work and not know what to do with them, get in touch with me...

Installed subframe connectors and did the final exhaust adjustment. Waiting for the calibrator to take if for the final tune.
A freelance magazine writer came to take some pics and shop it around to the car magazines. We think it will be no problem getting an article.
