Selling a car and buying a new one for a single option that takes a few hours of labour and $25 is a ridiculous approach

That said, if you need any guidance, let me know and I might have the answer..
True but, you have done more than a single option :eek:k3: Converting a base model FULLY over to an LS just doesn't make sense to me. It will never be an ls. No 3.8 and you can't change the vin

The vin doesn't matter to me. All LS options were available on the base model as well. There are certain creature comforts I am interested in and would rather do it myself than just buy a new car to stare at. Prefer hands on.

We all mod because we are a bunch of weirdos that like to throw money and time into the cars we like to make them fit our personality and tastes. Kinda why people clone Caprices to an Impala SS, did you know the Impala is a Caprice that just has the Impala options WX3?

I hear you guys. I was just throwing my 2 cents in. Sorry I didn't mean for you to take offense.

Aunt: The reply you gave me about the DIC just didn't make sense as you have gone much further and that's why I replied back in that manner.

Question: Were the body color side skirts and tail covers an option on the base?

Not sure about the rocker covers but I am pretty sure the tail covers were not. I don't really like them anyways
Don't like what? The tail covers? Yeah me either in a lot of occasions. I'd rather have tinted tails to be honest and esp on a darker color car. But, on white (don) I love the body color tail covers.

I am pretty sure rocker covers/side skirts were an LS/SS option and the tail covers were also. I believe the tail covers were included with the SS/Indy though.

He doesnt offer them for sale any more. I had to pull the harness from a vehicle with the DIC and use that.

If you go this route just cut off the excess harness in your liner and leave the majority. Its glued to fiberglass and will tear is apart if you try and remove the entire harness.

Just swap the new one in.
