looks good,i bought a 94 Deville when i got back in the states and love it. but i got the 4.9L V8 in mine before the northstar engine. on the caddy forums they bash the heck out of the early northstars because they break a lot. I am sure that they are better now after 15 years. i want to do things to my caddy but the capri is first. maybe once the wife can drive the caddy and works i will do more to it. it is basically her car/family wagon

Hey Anthony! They're a nice ride and quite a performance vehicle. My lady friend had one hort term from her brothers estate and we drove it on occasion to keep the battery charged and as a different drive from her Benz.  Gus

Ok, just did next change to her. She is now 20% tinted with a 5% front strip over the already pretinted window dye. No one is gonna be able to see in easily on this bad boy. For thoe curious, I can still see out the back at night. I also have backup sensors so I can let them do the work too.  ;)

OK some brand new 3rd gen higher powered 55W HID kit. Low beam and fog lights are running 55W (not 35W like the rest) 10,000K Blue lights. Will get those pictures up at night. but here is the hard work. Caddy needed the bumper removed to get to any of the lights. >< Here is my baby on a lift and my dad trying to help me out some.

Ok here is some before and 1 after with my Caddy's new exhaust system. Anyone that has a new caddy knows it won't rev past 4K in part so ya i'm gonna get an outside video of it in motion so you can hear it full out. I didn't take of the resonators cause I didnt want the interior sound to be loud, but that might still change. Not sure what the loose noise is in the exhuast video, it is not there in the real life hearing of it.
