Any body know what this guy's saying? More importantly can we get these parts? Seems they have a retail version that is absolutely amazing.

Saw this a couple of years ago. Mid East origin. The Caprice has been there for awhile for a civilian market, same as you would find in Australia. I would assume that Australian parts would be easier to get, although the shipping is and could be expensive from either region.
AND, welcome to the group!

Thanks Maurice. Their versions are amazing. I was wondering if we could fit some impala parts. I want some different tail lights and they look the same size. What do you think?

No, sorry the Impala lights won't work. I have ordered and had shipped some Holden WM Statesman/Caprice LED tail lights from Australia. I have detailed it in this thread: http://newcaprice.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=1253" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;.
There are currently no aftermarket taillights available here in the states.

Oversteer. Understeer. :lol:

So a 2013 Saudi Caprice Royale console looks like it would be a drop in. It looks nice with the SS wheels on it. Although I'm sure those are standard wheels on anything other than the PPV.

Those actually look really good. What Web site did you use? Jhp?
BTW thanks for the link brother...

I just searched Australian eBay (ebay.au) WM Caprice and/or WM Statesman. I always ask for pictures of the corners and the mounting tabs from behind. I have seen the taillights with the front corners broken and broken mounting studs.

Good Luck!

I've been doing some searching as well. Couldn't find anything either. I even started looking for headlights for the holden g8 but I'm not sure if they even fit. They have some awesome aftermarket lights but none for us it seems. :roll:

Installing LED bulbs in the factory light buckets made for some awesome lights, IMHO. Two things I don't like are that the buckets are plastic, and starting to show their age, AND stupid expensive to replace.

That sounds like a pretty good idea crash. Did you have to get an HID kit? :?:
