Anyone else having a problem attaching pictures today?
I get an error.
I went onto my desktop in case it was my phone, nope, problem persists.
Anything on your end @Rob ?
I have made it about two years now with my BlackWing as my work commuter. I have subjected it to two winters.
It's been very comfortable and capable.
But man, I drive this thing like a grandma in at 6am, barely ever over 2k RPMs. I still struggle for 22mpgs. Can I afford it, yep.
But I...
There were VERY few things I felt needed changing on my BlackWing.
Most issues revolved around carbon fiber.
I was willing to add the front splitter if it didn't affect my enjoyment of the car. I simply found the design of the OEM splitter protruded enough to cause me to worry. I wished...
Can anyone help me out?
I need Stek Gloss Carbon Fiber Vinyl wrap. The only way they seem to sell it is in a 33ft roll. I just want to do my splitters and grill header.
My detailer has posted it on his Vinyl Facebook boards and still no luck.
Some of you guys make carbon fiber parts. I think if these were offered, they'd be popular and not just wanted by me lol.
So here is my wish list:
1) Base car front winglet 2pc splitters in carbon. I love how I don't have to worry about the standard 2pc splitter but wish it was carbon to...
There was a rental car snafu. I had to take whatever they had. There was ONE midsize sedan.
Look at that color! Blaze Orange lol.
It's been WOT the whole time.
I came across a deal on wheels.
Apex FL-5 18 x 9.5 ET28 square.
I like the idea of square to get more life out of the tires.
I was confident the fronts would fit. Was wondering how the rears would work out.
They are umm, aggressive. They stick out about 5-7mm more than ideal, but again...
Long exhaustive sigh.
So my hood had the famously bad QC where an edge had exposed primer UNDER the clear coat and a terrible body line gap.
I had the selling dealer do an inspection in July, they were horrified.
I dropped the car off at their body shop towards the end of July.
At the time...
I noticed this on both our '22's, something our '20 didn't do...
If you are listening to Sirius and press the volume button to mute it, it does more than mute it.
It actually pauses the song. Like long term. You can have a 20 minute conversation and go back to the song right where you left...
This could be helpful for everyone.
I will start with mine, Blaze Orange:
The color code is WA626G
PN: 19421101 (WA626G)Four-In-One Touch-Up Paint - .5 oz Pen$16.59 (its also called Vivid Orange in Chevy land).
Was curious and wanted to make sure I had healthy example.
After all, with my body work QC, how I can assume the engine was put together correctly too lol.
This was done today, about 75 degrees, not too humid, 93 octane, 1400 miles on the car. The Dyno is a Dynojet. Runs were in 4th gear...
Here are the OEM carbon fibers part numbers for both the 4 & 5 Blackwing. Use a variety of online sources to check prices such as Gmpartsdirect, GMpartscorp.com, etc.

I swear this car has had paint work prior to my taking delivery.
There are small pimples in the clear, the kind you get from dust, and other little imperfections focused on the passenger rear quarter and a bit on the rear door. They arent found all over the car, just there. These are the kind...
I'm a few hundred pages into the manual and feel I should have seen it by now....
Max speed per gear with the 6mt. Anyone have that info?
Looks like 47-49mph in 1st, 70mph in 2nd. Longish gears to hit the 189 top speed.
I didn't get a sunroof. I am pondering doing a black vinyl wrapped roof. I am anti fake carbon fiber, so that's out.
Anyone give this a try on their car?
My sales guy let me know he got in an order today that the guy didn't want to wait for and bought a CTS-V.
It's a white 6mt, upgraded seats, a few options totaling $90k. It's white. My sales guy said anyone I send his way he WONT mark up.
So if you're interested, it's in MI, just PM me and...
With my Blaze Orange, I just didn't love the brake caliper color options. I felt the body color was so strong, I didn't want more competition.
But I REALLY like the color break up on the keys when you do the caliper color upgrade.
I am too cheap to spend the likely $150-300 to get the colored...
All this work to become a GM employee and I manage to pick a GM car with no employee pricing lol.
My wife and I wanted New couches and a new mattress. That's like $6k right there. So I figured use the GM Rewards card, pay it off right away so there's no interest. But every $5k is $600 off a...
