    You could prolly have the shop that does the electronics wire it up to drop the rear window from the fob... That'd be sweet.

    Oh, and badass wagon man! Very slick

    I didnt make them but he said it was pretty tricky. being the body has curve, the rear gate has a slight curve and so does the edge..there was alot to fabricate. I couldnt have done it thats for sure.

    This is one radical custom!! Love the Caddy Lites!

    I was thinking of doing the old-skool Caddy Lites on mine too, I thought a good mix of Chevy, Buick, and Cadillac would be awesome.

    Like a Caddy Grille, Hood Ornament, and Taillights. The Buick Portholes of course. Spoke wheels which work for everything, and of course the base Caprice Estate.

    I guess you could call it a Roadmaster Caprice Estate Deville Brougham LOL. That's a lot to put on the tailgate.
