We try to run a clean family friendly site here. I think the best way I could put it is like this.....
I love my wife, and I think she looks great in a swimsuit. However, I would NEVER ask/expect her to wear her swimsuit to work, church, or to Thanksgiving diner. Now, don't get me wrong, Corvettes and beautiful women go hand in hand, but when I am concerned about my camshaft duration, gear ratio, or oil leaks, I don't have time or interest in seeing "Babes", or reading through line after line of dirty foul language. There is too much of that out there already. How refreshing it is to just enjoy the hobby and the car for what it is.
On another note, the air bag connections and sensors are all very generic from G.M. car to G.M. car. I would not want to transfer the actual dash assembly, just the gauge pod, electronics, steering column, and air bag gadgets. The air bag modules tie into the main system, but are rather stand alone and can be transfered from one car to the other.
Some cars mount the sensors on the radiator support, some in the center console, some in the dash, and some on the firewall, and some use a combo of all the above.
The older ones used like a ball bearing in a magnatized chamber that when the right force was applied in the right direction it would break loose and make contact, grounding the circuit and triggering the bag deployment.
The modern sensors are very complex, and modern air bags fire in multi stages based upon the severity of impact. The processing speed of the new computers is sufficient to determine a variety of calculations, then will trigger stage one and two of the bag depending on that input. A minor impact will only trigger one explosion, where a higher speed impact will pop the initial explosion, then a second one with in a mili second of the first one to keep the bag open longer for greater protection.
Many of the early J body G.M. cars used a module under the center console or passenger seat. Since these cars have a serious factory defect with water leaks, and or the driver spilling drinks down the console, those sensors had premature failures (I deal with this often in my claims work).
Anyway, I am way off topic here. My theory is that with a custom fiberglass dash assembly the stock gauges, be it Camaro or Corvette can be mounted and plugged right back to the factory harness for late model trouble free operation.
The theater lighting is when the interior light comes on when you turn the car off, then stays on after you get out, but will fade to black slow and gradual after a few seconds. It is a cool effect, and standard on virtually all new G.M. cars.
