Can i use a GTA radio Pod In a Camaro?

i have a 4thgen console, and i hate the way it looks "hacked" because thats the only way you can do it..

can i use a GTA radio pod in place of the hacked off center console? i thought someone on here said you can but i cant find the post.

Yes and no.

You will have to "hack" up your dash to get the firebird pod to fit. As there is a lip that runs around where the console enters the dash, cutting a section out to get the pod to fit will leave a large portion of the entryway without a lip. This looks like POOP.

Done -RIGHT- a camaro console modified properly is unnoticable. Note the operative word in that phrase. Like any other mod, it is up to the user to do the mod correctly.

i have one installed in my car. i cut nothing. took a lot of work to get it right, but its there. used a piece of plastic screwed into the dash, then screwed the radio pod onto it. no screws visable with the faceplate on unless you look down in there good.

Got any pics of that? I wonder how it looks when the pod is not in the slot for it.
