Touch up paint info (white)

I took off the front license plate holder (because Ohio just got rid of the front plates). I found out that the bumper cover had been repainted in a different shade of white. I then tried to get some touch up paint. I found my paint number was 679F. I confirmed it with the dealer. There is no Duplic...

Re: Headlight upper area?

Thanks for the info.

Is it wired up already?
If so, to what?

Do I need a connector to it to supply power?

Headlight upper area?

Are there any lights in the upper part of the headlight? https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yGfo6gL3O9NV5vMQJpvE1Wwy8odMCtHv/view?usp=drivesdk It looks like there is some kind of connector on the back on the upper outboard side of each headlight assembly. Haven't removed the headlight to see what it i...

Re: Softest (least harsh) strut/shock, spring, tire setup?

I am working a deal to get some G8 struts and coilovers. I don't have any real data like spring rates, but it seems to going in the right direction and the price is right. I would love to get the Statesman struts and coilovers from Australia. (I hear the Statesman has the rear air shocks. This is co...

Re: Softest (least harsh) strut/shock, spring, tire setup?

Everything is a matter of degrees. The spring rates on my Roadmaster wagon are way too soft for ultimate handling, not matter the size of sway bars. My 2011 Caprice PPV is very stiff...at the limit for typical roads in my opinion. I bet it would do great on a skidpad or smooth racetracks though. I h...

Re: Softest (least harsh) strut/shock, spring, tire setup?

Sounds like the basic formulas... If you want to do well on the skidpad and smooth racetracks, go with high spring rates and smaller sway bars. Go out to the real world and you will need to soften up the spring rates and probably increase the sway bars to make up the difference. I was autocrossing b...

Re: What years stereo since box(?) can I use;

Ever radio has to be "Married" to each car with VIN programming. Get a security error otherwise. Just curious if that is something that a dealer can do? Does it have to be done before it is in the car or can it be done after it is installed? I found send mine to be programmed to get all t...
