Stereo & Electronics - Illuminated 'CAMARO' or 'TRANS AM' dash kits.

I don't know if I've ever seen these before. Does anybody here own one of these? I saw one picture of it in the appearance section. Let me see them if you have one.

Never seen one in person but the second to the last thing i want flashing at me (red and blue lights being the first) at night when im going down the road is a logo that says what car im driving.

looks pretty sweet

Huh, I didn't see anything on the website saying that it flashes. From what I saw, you can even order it without illumination, and come up with something yourself.

I have one, maybe it was mine that you saw in the Appearance section. Here's the pics of it. It doesn't flash either, I think that was just so they could demonstrate the difference. I really like it and it's great solution for flush mounting the HU.

I'm down for geting one of these. It is actually classy looking and not rice at all.

Now to decide what to get put on it.

how hard are they to install?

Thing about these is the face isn't made out of plastic, it is metal, so the cuts should look great. Also it's a nice flush design and can always leave the LED's out or put a switch on it.

Thats actually really cool.... I like it alot

when using this in the f-body, how tight is the space behid the deck? Is there enough room for 3 sets of RCA cables, antennae, wire harness, IA-Net cable, etc?

That is a good question, I know I had a tight fit with the Metra kit I bought, the kit mounted the HU high in the space and these look like they mount the HU low.

If you guys are having trouble fit all of the wiring, try pulling out the HVAC controls, and moving the wires out of the way from behind. Makes it a little tougher to remove, but better than pushing against the wiring.

I just ordered one a few days ago. Mine will have SLP on the top, it'll illuminate red (with dash lights plus when I arm the alarm). On the engraved boarder of it, below the SLP, it'll have the "Firehawk #102" in the approiate lettering. I can't wait to get it!

Oh yeah, I did make 2 of these things myself for my old 93 Formula. Not quite as professional, but I thought it unique and I don't think anyone else has ever done it. It's lit by 10 blue LEDs...
Here's the install pics and I posted a few as well:

I gotta post that Mark, the owner, is a super nice guy to deal with. He works with you and if you get something custom done, he insures you with a rendering of what it'll look like before he makes it. How awesome is that??

Here's my new mount! Mark just sent me a picture of it and I'm even more amazed! I can't wait to get it in my hands and installed!

Im extremely happy with mine =-)

Is yours lit up by LEDs or what? Any pics of the back of it? I have a choice between LEDs and mini-lamp, but not sure which would look best. Choices....

How does it light up anyways??

If I can go with all LEDs, I'll double it when it gets here and put blue as well. When I arm my car, it'll light up blue and when I turn my lights on it'll be red to match the dash.

On fbody.com a bunch of guys bought them. They dont flash (or I didnt think so) they are demonstrating the dimmer I think
