Consider me jealous.... I can read your HVAC display!

All kidding aside, that came out great. Should be a great set-up for your Vette.

Great job on the install!!

If you want to...
on your HVAC controls
snip off the two insert pins on the back side
take a drill bit and elongate the screw holes on the hvac control itself upwards about 1/8th of an inch
use same screws in same locations on mounting cage and it will drop your HVAC and look more centered and not cover up the driver and passenger side lettering on top of the hvac.


Thanks again for your business!!

If you have any questions or issues just call me
