2014 Caprice ppv mod list
So I got the caprice almost a year from now on April 12. Been doing basic repairs fixed all the holes drilled in the car, and replaced all the missing trim/plastic pieces. Changed all the filters and fluids, waxed her up. Doing a little modifications to the look now to get her looking nice daily driving. Goals are to lsx swap and go 200 on the salt. Do a lot of highway runs and loves going up to 150.

Next I did a intake mod and got rid of the intake baffles and ported the air box and fully insulated it with weather stripping so it only draws in cold air from under the wheel well. Also ran a new pcv line to replace the brittle plastic one.

Next I blacked out the badges and some of the trim. Wanted to make it look a little more mean looking.

Next I tinted the tail lights to get rid of the super bright red, and followed with the side markers.

Re: 2014 Caprice ppv mod list
Today I tinted the front headlights and went out to the military museum to watch the sunset with my family and look at the boats.

Re: 2014 Caprice ppv mod list
That’s pretty much all done up to date, just been doing regular maintenance interior replacing and beating the crap out of it. This weekend gonna replace all the belts for the serpentine and ac and swapping out my harmonic balancer. Might delete the furthermost resonators on the car to make it gurgle a little bit but only if I can find some black chrome exhaust tips to weld on. Also got a whole displacement on demand kit to put in but I want to wait to do trick flow heads and the lsxr intake manifold at the same time.

Re: 2014 Caprice ppv mod list
Can’t wait to see your mods, been wanting to drop the rear end out of the car and take out all the bushings from the crossmember. I emailed a company in Australia that makes solid aluminum bushings for drifting out there. With shipping costs those six metal bushings came out to 900 usd though lol. Tried to look for a American g8 counterpart.
