Darn I kinda wanted avoid any drilling. I'm afraid i might crew it up. But yes please post some pics if its not too much trouble. It could give me a better idea. I definably want that scan gauge. I was looking into the Aeroforce scan gauges but those are wayyy expensive.

Thanks SOBERSHARK!
As for drilling...it's really no big deal. I made a mistake and drilled a few extra holes...but you can't tell once the gauge is installed. Anyhow, here are a few detailed pictures along with a couple extras.
Painted Inner Door Handles:
Painted Shifter Trim Ring:
Repainted Window Controls:
Painted Door Locks:
My Bass Boost Control...Sub is located under the spare tire:
And the SS emblem....(should have been there from the factory!)
Can you tell I'm not a big fan of chrome plating on these cars?
I really wish I could get the trim rings around the AC/Heat vents out...so I couuld paint them silver as well. I know I can get the 2 center vents out....but the 2 outter look like a pain. Looks like I might have to take apart the dash. That might be a project for next spring.

Wow thank you so much Kissmy08SS. Very impressive. I'm gonna definably look into that gauge, I think with these pics I should be able to make it look good just like yours. Keep up the good work :)
