The caprice.. 15" American Racing Tailgunner (Series 772)Steel, chrome plated wheels w/ Uniroyal Tiger Paws P255/70 R15 108S tires, R1concepts.com UTL brakes and drilled/slotted rotors(30% better-STOP- best$$), Ebay euro clear corners with fakie blue bulbs-as my OEM corners fell out-Caution-big pot holes will do that. New waterpump that i chromed myself-spray paint. Pioneer5800head +4x6's,DubMag 6x9s and 700wt-12" VR3-no name sub off prymid 400w.2 chnl on mono amp it does bump- with gain up well passed midpoint. UPDATE- I've now rewired the sound 8awg and its way cleaner then GM shitwire.. .
UPDATE- 03 '09- NEW TIRES! sick of killing tires with your tub? UPGRADE SIZE. from 235- to 255/70 r15... awsome ride comfort now. Feels stronger and tighter. That and i threw on some LOAD heavy duty coil-over shocks in the front Part #34073 load shock and Gas ryders in the rear. This really helps the caprice from dippin around corners and i don't scrape on anything..
UPDATE-04 '09 Found some Xeon 8000k whatever bulbs- They replace the OEM 65/80 watts with 85/100 watts.. $8 shipped online.. Mine are Bright white with that tinge of blue even though they say blue.. i think they get whiter the longer they're on.. seems like it. But super cheap upgrade online.
-drilled out a hole below wire harness in fire wall- big ( 4 awg) red batt cable from batt. to new separate fuse box under dash - dont forget to fuse the batt line right up close to batt (12- 20 inches) as this section of wire unprotected from burn-up.
from this new fuse box- 1) underbody LED blue kit 2) Interior LED blue bar lights/sub-w lights
3) Knight-rider (behind grill for legal) light bar. I've had this thing from JCwhitney for a few years sittn round my home. HAd to put it on..actually easy install. AND LOOKS AWSOME!
These three go to a pilot blue light-up switch panel under dash.
Window tint comin'...
