What I'd do is sell the cam, pocket the money for the install, buy a nice stereo and a couple of headrest TV's, and do that Impala up right. There's no sense in polishing a turd. Polishing = modding, Turd = 3800 Series II.

As bad ass as painting my Camaro up Starskey and Hutch since it looks just about as similar.

I wonder why when I was 17 and bought my Camaro with the 3800 in it I never wanted to mod it. Oh wait, I knew better, saved my cash, and bought a V8.

I just put a stereo in mine, but I took it out when I sold the car and then used most of it in the Caddy.
