New to the forum, 2012 PPV 6.0

Post by BossAwesome »

Traded my Grand Prix GXP for this about a week ago, and I'm loving it! It's a 2012 that just rolled 120k miles. Blacked out all the chrome today, now I just need some window tints. The car is sitting on 19" rims off of a '15 Impala midnight edition. Has a cold air intake and Solo axelbacks. Still too quiet for my liking lol. I plan on removing the secondary cats and mid muffler and replacing them with an x-pipe in the next week. Any feedback or tips on mods are appreciated!

Welcome to the group! That style of rim is similar to a design from Holden. And I do like it. Was it a heavy rim? Good luck with the exhaust mods and keep in mind that the Caprice exhaust system is designed to eliminate the DoD 4cylinder drone. Eliminating segments increase the chance of a drone.

Regards,

Welcome! Just FYI, RotoFab makes a front cover plate which will eliminate some of that gap in the front of your engine housing, I used to run one on my 2011, it gives the engine compartment a cleaner look. Nice wheels BTW!
