Re: NOW TAKING PRE-ORDERS FOR AMERICAN MADE CAPRICE SS BUMPERS

Looks like the vendor "Street Trends" is out of business, leaving some folks high and dry with cash out of pocket but no stuff. Kinda glad this folded up, hope nobody on here got taken for a ride. I do like the looks of the Caprice SS bumper much more than our factory offering, would love ...

Re: Monroe Shocktober 2 2018 - $80 mail-in rebate offer

I know this promotion has expired, but had a bad experience with the exact same kind of promotion in February. Rock Auto listed our struts as being included in the promotion from Monroe. They aren't. I fell for the buy (4) struts get $80, bought them, sent in all my paperwork, and then was told &quo...

Curb Weight

I've got a 2011 Caprice 9C3 with a few mods, and I happened to take it across a truck scale recently. Figured I'd report the results. Mods: G8 front and rear leather seats, 2nd battery deleted, Curt 1.25" trailer hitch, G8 spoiler, factory size tires on aluminum Holden wheels (all 5, including ...

Re: Caprice's on tv

I agree, more junk TV programming.

I recall seeing a portion of an episode where the yard owner (whatever his name is) was driving the Caprice on the road. So, it may just be parked there (boss parks where he wants).

Re: SS Sedan Springs under the 2011 Caprice PPV

Alright, I'm looking into this as well....There are definitely a few roads where the ride is "unsettled". Did a little digging online and I see multiple part numbers for the springs. Fronts: GM 92290030 (mentioned earlier in this thread) is listed for 2014 SS, at a cost of $53.33 at my fav...

Re: G8 rear seat

Received and installed the 2015 SS striker and striker cover I had ordered, since my car had G8 seats installed, (but no striker).

As best as I can tell, both parts fit and function just as Holden /GM intended.

Re: G8 rear seat

Thanks of the update, Bill.

I went ahead and ordered the striker and cover, so once I receive them, hopefully I can provide confirmation that they fit and work as Holden intended.

Re: Water Leaking Into Interior

I have heard that there was a problem with the AC drain and that there was a campaign executed by the importing agents (when the cars were brand new just off the boat) that was supposed to correct the problem. Not 100% sure on the accuracy of that report, but I believe it. Whether that is your curre...

Re: Windshield delamination

Just had the windshield in my newly purchased Caprice replaced by Safelite this morning. They used Pilkington glass, which looks to have the same solar reflective and noise reducing markings as the Saint Gobain glass that came out. Installer said he did a bunch of them after the Baltimore riots last...
