Congrats on the V2. I'm in the same boat as you. I had a 408 in a 2000 SS and many more mods. I miss the raw power, but after the engine went down with too few miles I don't want to go that route anymore.
I'm running a New Era CAI, and thats the only performance mod. I like it, but the filter sets low so I worry about high water. I haven't seen any decent black grill options, so I painted mine. It didn't last long until it started chipping though.

Well, tomorrow at 1000 I pick her up. I feel like a kid on Christmas Eve. So far, all I've decided on for mods are DHS low profile e-cutouts, still looking for a CAI I can find a consensus on. Pictures to come...
I found it on Caddy's "build it" site, it's one of three wheel options you can choose.

Well, well, holy crap man. It's been a long time! Thank you for the congrats, I've been wanting this car (or something like it) for quite a few years now. After driving her about a bit, all I can say is that she is both a sledge hammer and scalpel...and I have a ridiculous perma-grin stuck on my face.

Is it too late the change the delivery location to my home address???
Jk bud! Congrats on the purchase! Sounds like the perfect pick to me! My buddy is running the D2 or D3 intake on his I believe. Can't remember which of the two it is since I'm not in a fancy V2 yet. Lol for exhaust he's running kooks long tubes, no cats and magnaflow catback. Looks nice and sounds nice and the price is right.
