AIR BAG!

Took the car to the dealership for an oil change. Got in and out no problem until I went to start the car to leave. Turn the key and got a message on the DIC - CHECK AIR BAG SYSTEM. Good thing I was already at the dealership. They drove me home and a 4 hours later fixed.
Here's the verdict:
Customer States DIC Says service air bag and air bag warning light is on

R9749 - 10 - 09 - 41 - 001B AIR BAG DIAGNOSTIC MODULE SOFTWARE OUT OF CALIBRATION CAUSING LOGIC LOCKUP
FOUND ABOVE BULLETIN RELATING TO CONDITION. FOUND NO COMMUNICATION WITH SDM COULD BE ESTABLISHED. FOUND AFTER REMOVING POWER FROM MODULE. THE SYSTEM BEGAN TO OPERATE AS DESIGNED. UPDATED SDM SOFTWARE PER BULLETIN. VEHICLE OPERATING PROPERLY AT THIS TIME.

It was free and I paid nothing. Problem solved. good thing it was my day off

Mod - Steering wheel trim

I wanted to match my steering wheel trim with the speedo bezel. So a little sanding couple of hits of CMG and clear - and presto -
I am thinking of doing the 4pack gauges but I think the radio will look out of place. Uunfortunately my flash takes out the color change from the CGM.
Also repainted the engine cover CGM and painted some 'SS's in the front.I've done several versions but this is the best one

New Mod- Footwell lighting

Another AAC kit. - You can't be afraind to tap into the electronic under the dash. I clipped into the overhead light power so it auto dims and auto illuminates with the door opening and closing. matched the color of the overhead light.

Mod - Custom Stripes

Finally added my stripes this evening! Took my time and tried to make sure the alignment was perfect. I was going for a subtle look with flat black. I had the custom pinstripe strip made to make it look a little more classic.
