ground effects kit, 98+

bigboybenny · #1 (**permalink**) 09-26-07, 03:41 AM

does anyone know of a website that has plenty of mods for the caddy seville 98 and up, stuff like ground effects kit, or aero kits, taillights and healights stuff like that?

Hate to tell you this, but there are NOT "plenty of mods" for the '98+ series. As a matter of fact, there are practically none, appearance or engine-wise. Before you begin spending $$$ on the few engine "mods" available, I would take an evening and carefully search these threads to learn just how little you can do that is really worthwhile. You're better off keeping the car spotless and enjoying it.

and then the STSi kit which back in 03 Lund did sell the kit but i doubt they have any left...

And just to "pile on" here...they no longer carry the kit. I talked to the rep at lund recently and he tells me that they originally had two units and they are both gone. 6 STSi's exist, and one was just sold at auction for 14.5K (which from what I read absolutely no-one knew about).

The STSi front facia kit does not exist..if it did, I would have one.
The wheels however, you can get on ebay..present item number: 350167960889

Cheers!

I wish that they made an appearance package like that for the Eldorado, even as an in-house job like the STSi. I think that would look awesome. Hmm... ETCi anyone?

Go order a big box of the green flower foam, get some tinfoil and glue, and then pickup some fiberglass, epoxy and resin.

Glue green blocks together (you can order larger sizes uncut) and form yourself a body kit with a hot hobby wire tool designed to cut through styrofoam.

Lay your foil, grease it up, lay your glass, epoxy, resin.

Next comes body filler and sanding

Then paint

And finally install...

There are whole websites, books, etc devoted to how to do this, and if you look into the cost you're seriously looking at a few hundred bucks for an entire bodykit plus your time. I'm suprised no one has bothered or if they have don't post on here...

Raze, In regard to your last sentence: "I'm surprised no one......".

If it doesn't come in a box with instructions included, it's too hard, so why bother? I'm too busy playing X-Box games to learn anyway.

HAHA, now that's awesome.

If your remark was sarcastic, you sir are on point...

If your remark was not meant to be sarcastic, you sir sound like you are enjoying retirement (that is if at 69 years old you are indeed retired)...

If your remark was intentionally meant both ways, I salute you...

In any case, Cheers!

Wow 26 years, you must have done/seen, well I guess 'seen' may not be the right word, some craziness.

Lets see, if that's 38 years on boats, and you're even 'recently' retired then you would have been going 20,000 leagues under the sea (sorry, sure you got that crap all the time) during the cold war.

So which boats were you on? Boomers or attack?
