I seen it before. Is it a powder coat or an actual chrome process?

I've seen it done with powder coat myself. There is also a duplicolor spray can system for something similar I'm not sure if you need a chrome finish to start off with on that or what? would seem hard to believe a spray paint would stick to chrome.

The de-policification (Im making that a word) of this car is stunning..I love the direction you're going in.. the exhaust, the suspension set up, the wheels.. inspiring and how I would do it if I had the scratch.. gonna have to start saving for it.. and I thought my Harley was expensive to kit out..

heh heh .. silly me

Keep it coming !

So PPV you went with Chevy SS kooks headers? Any issues? I know g8 headers fit on a caprice wasn't sure about the SS ones. I was curious cause I know arh or kooks makes 2" SS headers as well. And if they clear for a caprice they should clear for a g8..........

G8 headers only work if you remove the factory oil cooler from the Caprice. The SS headers fit, as the SS has the same, or similar cooler. A full Kooks exhaust will fit a Caprice if you add some pipe just before the end of the exhaust before the attachment point for the muffler:

Yes the SS headers are the correct application for the Caprice.

Located a set of SS calipers and there is a difference in size! Waiting on rotors and rubber for the wheels so the install will be a few weeks out.
