Discussion on body issues/mods, appearance, interior/trim, and detailing (i.e. how to keep your car looking showroom new, or a reasonable facsimile thereof...).
OK, finally got my car back from the body shop. The WM Caprice spoiler really does change the whole look of the rear end of the car....
Spoiler is fairly solid, it's both bolted to the trunk lid and attached with strong double-sided tape. So, it should be fairly secure unless someone decides to do pull-ups on it.
Thanks again to C.P. for another good deal! Here's a pic...

Yes, the spoiler does make the back end look better. It also differentiates it from the W-body Impala, since a lot of unknowing people seem to think our cars are FWD Impalas with a Caprice badge on it. The muffler shop thought I just slapped a Caprice badge as well as the V8 badges on the fenders on a FWD Impala. When he opened the hood, he was surprised to see a longitude 6.0 V8 and the rear end was rear drive. But I will confuse people even more when I replace the Caprice badge with an Impala badge.
Oh good lord Greg, you are DEVIOUS! I'd love to see people try to figure that one out..... and double points for you if you put the LS badge on as well

Looks good! I have the same spoiler on mine (it's optional in Australia). I really like your exhaust tips too.
A small and easy mod I can recommend is the shortened antenna. You can get them from eBay. Though some of the G8 guys have gone for the shark fin setup as fitted to the Buick Park Avenue and Daewoo Veritas which is even cooler again.
