Do G8 rear door panels fit the Caprice?

Nope the 4 inches in increased length on the caprice is inserted in the rear foot well area. This makes the rear doors longer than the G8. SO fronts would fit but not rear.

Also why the G8 carpet when used in a Caprice comes up a bit short at the rear seat.

Does the G8 rear shelf behind the rear seat fit in a Caprice?

Not sure on that, I would think so. The only difference between them is the speakers grills I think. Cheaper just to get those by themselves. The holes in the metal are there for the speakers.

I too have a 2013, and I adjusted the volume all the way to the rear and turned up the volume and lo and behold I have speakers back there. You might try this too.

Still tryin' to figure out what to do to get volume out of them, drilling a 100 holes in my rear panels to let the sound out just makes me cringe... :shock:
