To quote someone, when you press quote on their message, do you see the code at the beginning and end of the quoted message? its the [.quote=paarman97maro]message[./quote] If you can remember that, you can just copy a persons message and put the quote tags on it with their name, which is the easy way and the way I do it.
He-He-Heeee Well I feel extra stupid know then.
I simply entered the [.quote=paarman97maro] without putting the message in between here [./quote]
That makes so much more sence know that I think about it. Otherwise how would it know which messase to quote? Duuuuhhh.

Thanks for clearing that up Justin.

Yep....that's the plan for this one. Probably a 3000 stall with a set of 3.73's, but that will have to wait until I do headers and an ORY-Pipe. The next mod I'm getting is a tune, which will be in a week or so. I still haven't decided which tune I'll get, but it will probably be the PCMforless. Then after I do the other mods I'll have it re-programmed.

Thanks Bud,... ...... All you have to do, is just make sure your engine is completely cold, make sure you don't have a full tank (doing it at exactly 3/4, 1/2, or 1/4 works best) then turn your ignition to the "run" position so the needles come off the pegs.......and then take several pictures with a digital camera. (I took close-up's of each gauge)

Once you get the dash apart, pull straight out on each needle and it will come right off. They don't come off real easy, so just be patient and persistant and they'll eventually slide right off. After adding the new overlay, look at the pictures you took, and just slide the needles back exactly where they were. (it might take a few tries to get it right, because sometimes you push them on, and then they drop down a little)

It also depends on what year you have. If it's 98 and newer, it says they don't need to come off. (the needles)

It is if you do the Sequential Turn Signals from Brent Frankers page. I went with a different kind. David (PHDCamaro) turned me on to one called: "SignalWaves LightBoard". That's what you see in the back with all the wires connected to it.

You just plug your existing wires into it, and it controls the way they flash. It has a little screw on it also that controls the speed of how fast they blink, or you can hook up a toggle switch to turn them on and off whenever you want.

As far as video's go, I do have a few little video clips of them working, but I'm not quite sure how to load them. It's just like (3) 15 second clips taken with my digital camera. One of the left side, one of the right, and one of the flashers. I'll see if I can figure out how to load them.

The down side to my situation right now though, is once I got it hooked up, the outer bulb wasn't flashing, so I had to return it for a new one. I think once I get that one installed, I'll take an actual video of it and post it here.

"Holy Moly" that's a lot of questions. But for you.........No Problem.

Ok, here's the link: http://www.signalwavelights.com Once you link on to the site, there's several different pages to read. It will show a sample picture of a GT Mustake with the lights working, and it will also explain how everything works.

The toggle switch is only if you want to turn them off and on while driving down the road. It also has a small screw on the board itself that will control the speed of how fast you want them to blink.

I didn't bother hooking it to a toggle switch because if I wanted the stock lights, I wouldn't have bought them. While hooking it up, I adjusted the speed screw to the speed I liked, and then I just mounted it inside the rear panel.

It was $79.99 shipped, and it takes about 2 weeks to get. Because there's not a big demand for them,......he makes it specifically for your car as soon as you order it.

Actually, after I was done and realized how easy it was, I didn't feel the need to keep them any longer, so I tossed them. And yes, this is one of those mods that would take about 15 minutes to remove if you decided to take it off the car.

I mean it takes about as much time to pull the rear panel off as it would to unhook the wires from the board and splice them back together. The instructions are very easy to follow, and he includes a drawing of exactly which wires to cut & splice by the colors. It's only like 3 different wires, blue, green and grey I think.
