Pictures of the front please!
Factory sleepers are so cool. I hate when there are badges and stickers EVERYWHERE.
Factory being the word here LS1Mike. I suggest, before doing anything rash, that you not deck it out or make it ugly. It is looking good, but sometimes we dont know when to quit or permanently destroy a good quality that the factory got right. In other words, I tend to prefer factory originals, so I would suggest that you not take away what Detroit (or Perth) got right just to customize it. Just keep it real so that in fifty years it would be at home in a classic car show or museum. But on the other hand, if you are one of the hot rod guys who are pretty much opposed to OEM then have at it. Good luck and dont hurt your back.

This is the last outside mod I do. I have a CAI on the way and then a Dyno tune for now.

Looks really good
I meant Victoria- not Perth. I think it is South Central Austalia but I hear they may be made Stateside next year!
Are you not going to do the window trim?
Be cautious with a CAI because from what I see sometimes, the factory units actually gather cold air, while the aftermarkets just put an open element under the hood n the engine bay to collect dust, get dirty quickly, and suck in HOT air.
How does your ride compare to the Supersport and the G8? Didnt you do a write-up? I talked to someone and he said you can choose between 4sp and 6sp for the automatics.

It is a good quality CAI, Most LSx car benefit from them, with dyno results from just the CAI being in the 10 to 15 RWHP.
It shares a lot with the SS and G8. It is actually a Holden Caprice which is a luxury model in Australia.
The Caprice is almost a track pack for the G8 with beefier suspension, larger brakes and some upgrades.
The SS interior bolts into the Caprice. It is also shares some stuff with the CT6.
There is no 4 speed option with the V8. Not sure about the V6.
