the mirror LED thing is easy... get a white LED, mines 1200mcd, and whatever resistor it needs to work on 11-14.7 volts.. run some TINY wire under the trim and to the mirror.. drill the hole for the LED light and slip it in... make the hole kinda small..(smaller then the LED) and between the hole size and how far it is from the hole, you can "focus" it to only dimly illuminate the shifter.

the resistor for the LED is on the wire, under the dash, and it connects to the gauge light power.

the other stuff is harder.. lol

 

all red dash- including guages, hvac, stereo, shifter plate, etc.
only things not red is turn signal and high beam indicators. since theres a colored plate for them, havent gotten around to those.

found a stock 'security' indicator that goes next to SES light, so my alarm flashes that indicator when armed, looks nice and stock instead of drilling hole for LED. of course this may be there for others anyhow..

 

Mine has got to be the tan 4th gen seats that match my 3rd gen tan interior, and the knee pad that is mounted to the side of the console.
I believe the knee pad was only installed on the 1984 Trans Ams with the WS6 option.
It is nice when making a hard left hander

Does anyone else have any more info on the knee pad?
I would be interested in hearing from you, as most people I talk to have no idea that this was a factory option.

Thanks,
Leon.

 

one thing?
the whole car.
if i had to choose, i still love my 6spd console with ratchet shifter.
fools everyone.

 

Three things, all very sentimental to me:

Been a passanger since day 1

I dont have a picture of my last thing but it brings a tear to my eye everytime i hold it, its the old bowtie keychain from my Camaro. But with a Pontiac i cant just go around with a bowtie keychain so i made a special place for it in the glovebox and have never been happyer, jesus im a sap

 

Enough about our cars jeff, show us your new interior setup.

 

4th gen console
4th gen leather seats
4th gen steering wheel
Tweeters in a-pillars
3 Neons
Custom Sub Box
Custom mounted window/power mirror switches
Foot Pedal Covers

And that's it for now

 

My '83 Daytona has the knee pad as well...

 

does a berly with out the starwars dash count?

 

does the custom stained carpet count??

 

Are those leather PMD seats?

if so where did you get them, they are really nice lookin.

 

I got a knee pad out of an 84 T/A at the junkyard last week.Stuck it in my back pocket Im not gonna install it in either of my birds.Just got it for a momento.Maybe ill hang it on my garage wall

 

At shows...one thing that people always comment on..is my roll bar. I guess they aren't that popular around here...and peoples mouth drop when they see it. Also, the leather SS seats, the white faced gauge, and some of my controls mounted on the console.

 

my recaro seats and 4th gen consol with booted auto shifter and b@m leather ****. radio delete panel hiding my radio radio delete interior panels. 4th gen leather rear seats(they were free, i would rather have cloth black ones) all padding removed from carpet and light weight carpet installed. stearing wheel quick release(got it cheap) and a stearing wheel that i dont really like, but i wanted a d- shaped one. and my hidden starter button....hehe its the fog light switch.

 

another....

 

btw... i was going to start making a knee pad today. i want one that i can adjust, so ill make it out of aluminum and just cover it in some black vinel. i need one for my car, and could never find one in a junkyard. your example looks nice!
i am currently cutting my headliner to install an overhead consol i bought. i also got a adjustable distance rear view mirror im going to put in today. i hope to do something about my door panels soon. dye them or just recover them, just something. i put power door lock delete plates on the door panels too. there are some other things i cant think of.........

 

vejatabul---
do you watch your tach while driving? looks dangerous, LOL.

 

my super cheesy furry seat covers. the seats i bought out of an 86 TA had a small rip that got a little bigger, so until money is saved to upholster it, i bought these.

they do separate me from everyone. maybe not in a good way tho! oh yah, and my carpet out of an 85 camaro....u can see em both in the pic

 

The fur is a chick magnet.. Haha.

 

stage20---
no, of course not, that would be dangeresque. i mounted it there so it would be out of plain view, i dont really want my car broken into. i also have excellent periphial vision.

 

seems like a weird place to put a tach, but to each their own.

 

Nothing terribly special, but it's comfortable to drive.

if it has a shift light no one really watches them anyway they just wait for the shift light to flash.

 

My Ford taurus power seat switch.So i could keep my original power seat track with the 4th gen power lumbar seats.Maybe my pedals(cut to fit)& my home made shifter boot.The berlinetta shift indicator window(its black w/white letters/blue backing,lights up blue w/a white LED)

 

taurus switch.

 

Nothing fancy..

 

Interesting Pipes. Any other pics???

 

Are you addressing me? If you are what would you like to see?

 

dont have any pics, but i have a vintage 80s car phone on the right of the center console. it still works but no company has a network that will support it so it always says its roaming. it still works to call 911 though.

 

overhead consol and rear view mirror.......

 

oh and just finished door panels.....

 

Nice lookin door panels.

As for the pipes, i was just curiouse as to how they tie down. Maybe a shot of the back of the set up from the front. THX

 

1tinIndian, how does that knee pad hold on? Are there clips or screw holes in the center console? Double sided tape? I think that is totally kickass and I've never seen or heard of that until I saw the pic you posted.

Anyone know the part# for it?

 

It attaches with the same way the dash mounted map pocket does, with 6 plastic push rivots. I had to make a template of the pad and its rivots, then had to drill into the side of the console, then lined up the pad, and pushed the rivots into place, worked great!

Here's some more shots of the pad.
Sorry, no part numbers!

This is the original interior from my 82 stocker and it is still in awesome shape. I have 1 tear in the driver’s seat but I found some cloth that matches pretty close so I am having the front seats reupholstered this weekend. I guess one thing that seperates my interior is I haven't done one thing to it. By the way, great things you all have done to your cars.

 

wow that color is very different. post pics after the new front seats are done.

 

Mine is different because I am in it lol.

 

Door panels and seats.

That car is tight,
I have always liked the black and yellow color. One question though, is it hard to get into your car with those bars in the way?

OOPS, sorry for the multiple post,I am on dial up, and sometimes it takes forever so I keep on hitting submit reply.

 

Yeah the yellow looks good. Any reason you went with the latch system and not the cam lock?

 

probably the cost. a latch harness is typically a third the price of cam lock design. i love my cam lock setup but it was very expensive for what it is.

 

cam lock owns. worth every penny.
very comfortable over a latch system.
less junk at your beer gut makes for a better driving experience.

 

my seats ....crappy pic

 

I've got a fabric in mine which has to be original, as all the seats, and door panels are done in it, but it's something I've never seen in another car. The car was ridden hard and put away wet, but the interior held up well (one of the things that sold me on the car, as a matter of fact!)

Its basically black with pinstripes in red, green, and blue. Very subtle, though. Will try and get a picture tonight and post an addendum.

Not really special, i guess, but was this an option on certain cars? (Mine is a white 350 TPI 1988 IROC, auto trans).
