I have started my next project on my 2012 PPV of getting rid of the bulky stock air intake system along with some engine dressing. I am going with the Spectrum Intake System which I found for $124 on eBay, adding some LS2 Fuel Rail Covers and painting the Intake Manifold Beauty Cover. I have the pictures the build below.
Some of the personal touches I added was painting the Intake Manifold Beauty Cover with Red VHT Engine Enamel and I painted the LS2 Fuel Rail Cover White VHT Engine Enamel. I had to make a few cuts towards the front of covers, I also will sand the cuts in the summer for a better look. All in all The Spectrum Intake sounds good and the covers look great to me. I have the cost break down below.
Spectrum Cold Air Intake: $129.95
LS2 Fuel Rail Covers: $146.73
Fuel Rail Engine Studs: $25.00
VHT Engine Enamel x2: $11.75
Total: $309.43

Looks great!
Did you use the cold air filter setup for the Pontiac G8? Or do they make one for the Caprice...

Yup, I think you can search the G8 or GTO.

Re: Spectrum Cold Air intake & LS Fuel Rail Cover
Nice, I was eyeballing that intake as well actually... Nice to see a PPV with it to confirm my fitment concerns.
Looks great.

Re: Spectrum Cold Air intake & LS Fuel Rail Cover
Yea no issues with fitting, just have to make sure it is on there tight. Mine has come loose before, but I am going to add some threatlock on the clamp screws. I also plan to add the Roto-Fab radiator cover this summer to cover the open space.
I have added a Roto-Fab radiator cover and a chrome power steering reservoir cover.

Re: Spectrum Cold Air intake & LS Fuel Rail Cover
I know this is an old post, but by any chance do you have the eBay link for the Spectrum CAI for the G8/GTO/PPV? I can't seem to find it on eBay... thanks!
