“Bad Karma”
This is my daily driver, which I’m calling “Bad Karma”. She’s a 2011 9C3 that was previously owned by a very active forum member. Since it has been in my possession (Oct ‘18), I lowered it on H&R springs, installed a VCM OTR intake, had the car tinted, mirrors and handles painted, paint correction and ceramic coating. Then I took it to Rewired LLC in Denver, NC where I had the 3.27 diff and Camaro brakes installed (thanks James). This year I’ve added a Aussie steering wheel, lower chrome moldings, and a roof spoiler. I also put the car on CTSV wheels and Hankook tires. Currently I’m working on improving the car audio. Eventually I want to do cam and DOD delete... exhaust, 6 spd manual, and maybe an LSA... but those are longer term goals that I’ll have to do over time. Hope y’all like it as much as I do.

Re: “Bad Karma”
Nice. The rear window spoiler along with the deck lid spoiler go together nicely.

Re: “Bad Karma”
10000% agreed. When lowered, coupled with how long the car is, can't quite place what it is, but the window spoiler and deck spoiler just look right at home.CrashTestDummy wrote: ↑Thu May 16, 2019 2:19 pmNice. The rear window spoiler along with the deck lid spoiler go together nicely.

Re: “Bad Karma”
Thanks for the kind replies! I really love this car (first RWD V8 I’ve owned). I love the long dash to front axle proportions, the fender flares, and the up-swept lines accentuated by the lower chrome.
Re: “Bad Karma”
Chris, I saw your car at ‘our’ work parking lot, technically I work over at the other building, but I was dropping someone off. I have a Holden badged ‘17 SS M6 which I occasionally drive to work.
I drove past your car and knew I had seen it somewhere online at some point admiring the Caprices. I love your car it is awesome, pretty much the a very similar setup to what I would do if I had a Caprice.
