I can't post the picture, but the 4 bracket bolts are 30 lb ft and 2 trans mount bolts are 45 lb ft.

See the note in the attached service manual process. That's the same note in every console related task involving the shifter. It's not much help, but I didn't find anything in my service manual documents that describes separating them.

I don't know what it's considered, but yeah they were made available to us '22 owners when the '23s came out with trunk badges.

My magnet says it's not aluminum. OP, the dealer needs to fix it regardless, so see how it looks when it's done then decide. That's really just a cosmetic blemish, and if the repair is done properly and it looks good then keep it and save the grief of a new order. PDR might work. Here are a...

At one point last year they had about 2 dozen BWs sitting on the lot, most with $3k discounts. When I was looking for mine at the end of the '22 model year, they had only one, an auto, and wanted $5k over MSRP.

It's probably a 2022. I got my badge, but it's still in the box and I probably won't install it just because...it's a 2022.

And the TPMS nuts ($5 ea, 84413358 for TPMS 84977020, paid $132 for 4) . There could be third party alternatives to the TPMS others have mentioned.

Hoping not to create another one of those jacking debates, but the service manual does not list the pinch weld to be used for the rear on the 4BW. I've just used my jack with a large rubber cover to contact the suspension bracket with no problems.

I checked that number 85561509 on a couple sites and it successfully added to the cart. Do they take the order but then respond it isn't available? gmpartswarehouse warns there is a 7-day factory lead time.

No, the holes are larger than OEM so the clips won't grip. The overall diameter of the cap is about the same though. I fabricated what are essentially adapters as described here: Questions from an overthinking/over prepared engineer impatiently waiting his Ct4-V B.W.

At one time Tapout listed reproductions of the support brackets but I don't see them listed anymore. But really the price was pretty close to the factory bumper cover so that should still be a viable option if you have the means to get that huge box home. Then you either keep the cover as a...

I installed the Tapout rear spoiler on my car over a year ago and I haven't seen any evidence of leakage. But, it did concern me because the standard OEM spoiler had that adhesive bond along the front edge, and the rear gasket completely encircled the screws and holes through the deck lid. I...
