NEW IN NORTH CAROLINA
I've been watching this board for a few months and just bought a Caprice PPV. Have enjoyed all the information shared and have learned a lot.
Looking to find a source for a set of PPV wheel covers - preferably used in good condition. Suggestions appreciated.

Re: NEW IN NORTH CAROLINA
I'm in rural Cleveland County, about 45 miles west of Charlotte for those not familiar with the area.
I recently bought the 2011 9C3 that was recently sold on ebay in Iowa. Had been looking for a while and finally found one I was interested in. It had Camaro wheels on it and I'm looking to put it back to stock condition by putting the original wheel covers back on (if I can find some in good shape reasonably priced - don't want to have to buy new ones if I can avoid it).
Look forward to learning more from all the great people on this site.

Re: NEW IN NORTH CAROLINA
Welcome, so your the Ebay 9c3 guy. I was bidding against you!
Does that car still have the side vent lights in it? He send me pictures of them when I was looking at it. I wasn't into the Camaro wheels on it either.
Great car, good price.

Re: NEW IN NORTH CAROLINA
Solid buy on a rare car. I'm in coastal NC, down at Cherry Point.
I've seen one set of 9C3 wheel covers given away here on the site. Other than finding a deal like that, your best price is likely going to be new through GM. Probably not what you wanted to hear, but those are some rare items given how few of 9C3s they made. Did the previous owner have any idea what happened to the original ones on it?

Re: NEW IN NORTH CAROLINA
Sorry NoMoa - didn't really keep up with who was bidding on the 9C3. It's a good car, lights still on it - not hooked up (has two lights under the grill also). The Camaro wheels aren't for me, plus the offset isn't right. Trying to get it back to stock.
Thanks cal30_sniper. Glad there's another NC person around. You're proably right that they are rare...will keep looking.

Re: NEW IN NORTH CAROLINA
Haha no worries don. Glad it found a good home. I don't know if your going to swap out those lights, but if you do let me know. I'm looking for a set for mine.
Hope you find some caps. I may do those on mine in the future. They look great on a silver car.
Post up pics. It is a great looking car!

Welcome to the group. I'm in Mooresville NC, not too far from you, and I work in Belmont near CLT.
My 9C3 still looks stock but I added flashing white/amber LEDs behind the grill for car shows.
