The the SS front end should bolt right......the only problem is finding that front clip at a decent price!

Re: Caprice + g8 front clip!
Any more photos of the car since completion? Looks REALLY good in my opinion!

Re: Caprice + g8 front clip!
Looks pretty cool. I've thought about hood with scoops/vents but I've heard they add drag so it's not such a priority anymore. Can anyone confirm if those G8 headlights are swappable with the Caprice without any other front end parts? Surprisingly, I haven't seen any threads about swapping headlights between the two.
Re: Caprice + g8 front clip!
Think the headlights are quite different as to how the interface with the fenders and the hoods. So no swapping. Even how the bumpers surround the G8 headlights is quite different to the caprice. n I saw one G8 guy try to do an SS bumper and I think headlights on the G8, not a good fit.
Re: Caprice + g8 front clip!
I think your right. They look like the shape is the same but the G8 headlights are a little thinner or longer. The tail lights have some similarities too but again, I think they are slightly smaller.
