Re: Your thoughts on purchasing my first PPV and its a 9C3

I have a 9C3 and I'm happy with it. You have an awesome looking car. I can't believe how clean it looks. The wheels are very nice - I assume those are Camaro wheels? I have 20 inch Camaro wheels that look great but require rear fender "rolling". I settled for the steelies with new tires f...

Re: 75K miles 2011 PPV ?

I've experienced a similar issue. I was driving home the other day and a random puff of white smoke would emanate from the rear. Car is an 11 9C3, never in service as a Govt/Police vehicle, previous owner bought it with 1,600 miles and I got it with 74,000, last week. Any info/ideas would be appreci...

Re: Headunit replacement

I am considering this route, as well. some fab will be involved with fiberglass to make it look right. I am wondering if the video output from the silver box, for the AC details, can be tapped into and run into a video input on the new head unit ? I like the Kenwood shallow mount units. I had one in...

Re: BC Racing Coilovers Install

For the front, when you get to the point you are removing the strut spring compressor off the old struts, it may be helpful to insert them into a garbage bag, When you remove the strut nut, there will probably still be a bit of spring tension, and the upper bushing assembly will fly off, spraying b...

Re: Update!!!2014 ss steering wheel paddle shifters work.

WIll the SS Wheel conversion work across all Caprice PPV years, 11-16?
If so, are the steps the same for 11-13 cars with a console shifter?
I tried the search feature and this is the closest thread I could find.
Thanks in advance.

Re: Your thoughts on purchasing my first PPV and its a 9C3

^^What he said. If carpet and a console are your thing, the 9C3 is worth the premium. Installing, heck, even getting it now, carpet is a big deal. Everything has to come out, and some carpet cutting has to be done, unless you pull most of the dash. The console is another thing, and includes some wi...
