I installed driver's door lock actuator. GM: 92290820- 2011 Caprice. Of course original door lock worked well when I decided to try it before installing new one. I am going to do all the doors while parts are still available.

I drove it around the block to blow the dust off it. It didn't work.

Guys, all my car does is get dusty. I SWEAR by Adams Waterless Wash. I put it in a half gallon air pump sprayer and use that to clean mine. Looks BLING when done. Hell, scroll up and you'll see it after I've used it. Of course I sold my PBM GT for a silver GXP mainly for the color. SO over black! My DD is silver too!
2009.5 MSM GXP 500ish N/A RWHP. Mods include but aren't limited to: Texas Speed 418 (6.8L) fully forged held together with ARP from top to bottom, PRC 255cc heads, Rick Crawford intake plenum, TB port, polish and tune, Roto-Fab 102mm CAI w/LS7 MAF, Kooks 1-7/8" headers wrapped with DEI, Corsa catless system, Circle D 3200 Stall, 3.45 final drive, BMR's complete street bushing kit and sway bars, Eibach Pro Kit, G-Force Axles, running on staggered VMR 710's with Bridgestone RE11 rubber. HSV triple gauge pack with Calais smokers kit mod, V6 tails, debadge/rebadge, V6 door handles, AU black door trim, Maverick Man under hood strut covers, & washer and bolt kit, fully corrected paint thanks to Adams Polishes and my hard work. Built with reliability in mind with some power for those times when you need to pass or go over a big hill. Just a poser, not a racer!

Took off a Vararam intake and installed a Roto-Fab then had it tuned by ECS in NJ. They did an excellent job yet again. Both my G8's have been there and they drive like a RWD V8 should.

Finally washed the Rat after sitting in the garage from getting back from Wisconsin May 4th my gosh was it dirty and put a nice shine on it also.
Been driving the Colorado 434,000 miles on it since my son got his 2017 Camaro SS Red Line Edition.
Going to drive the pickup for a while keep some miles of the Rat since it has 188,000 give or take

Blacked out the window trim with some cheap vinyl. Cost me $10 and about 2 hours of my time. Win in my book.
