CT5-V Finally: CT5-V Blackwing Reproduction Spoilers

[Kevin0311]

Figured as much just wondering if others sealed the hole up with silicone or similar.

The factory parts have the foam gasket going around each hole in the trunk lid. If the part you're using doesn't do that, it might be a good idea to get some weatherstripping foam and make your own around each stud and the empty center hole. The aftermarket but visually identical spoiler from Tapout that I got for my 4BW had a gasket around the perimeter, but not around each hole. I got camper seal foam from the big box store that was similar density and thickness and stuck them around each stud and the center hole. I've had no leaks into the trunk. Some folks have complained about leaks, but I don't know what parts they used or how they installed them. I don't think you need to get exotic on it as far as sealing the holes any more than this. You can see my post here with photos of the original spoiler and the aftermarket one with the seals I made. Carbon fiber PN database.

I would actually leave it open. we normally leave an extra hole in the bottom to allow the part to breathe and prevent condensation from building up inside.

Foam gaskets are included to prevent water intrusion

Will the gloss black finish on the wing match the factory black car color?

Will the gloss black finish on the wing match the factory black car color?

Yes. We are using a gloss black PPF. So it will look like any other gloss black part on the car. The angles here require a two piece application.

I'm asking if it will match the black raven paint on the car, not just the accent pieces but the color of the raven black on the entire car.

Not sure there brother. The parts will be a gloss black. if raven has any special color qualities, that will not be reflected in the spoiler.

@Terrance Speed any plans for a OEM style front lip and grill surround with your v-weave? I want to replicate the CF1 package I couldn't order as best as possible at a high quality.

I have a new front splitter design to release, but wanted to make sure a few other things were dialed in first. I am hoping to get it out this summer.

Sounds good. Any details on it? Any thoughts on a grill surround to match?

Not yet, but I hope you guys will like it

Show me a picture of what you mean by the grill surround. My brain may not be working the same way yours is. Visualization will help.

Like many here I received my CT5-V Blackwing without the carbon package and was underwhelmed by the aesthetics. With all of the trim pieces being gloss black I felt adding the single carbon pieces would be out of place. Not to mention become incredibly expensive to replace all the parts. In an effort to upgrade my Blackwing, and all of yours, I was able to secure an OEM Blackwing rear spoiler to create a direct replication of the carbon piece. This has all the OEM dimensions and mounting options.

These spoilers will be built from carbon fiber and come with a gel coat from the mold ready for prep and paint. You will be able to clear coat and leave them exposed carbon. Or you can spray them gloss black to get the carbon package look without having random pieces of carbon on the predominately gloss black car. These will install very easily as your OEM spoiler is only held on by 3M tape and the trunk has pre-existing holes. I pulled mine off by hand and installed the new one in about 1.5 hours. The OEM carbon unit has inner mounting studs/bolts, and outer mounting studs you could drill holes for. Drilling the outer holes will be your choice, but they are difficult to access through the trunk panel. The spoiler will come with provisions for them, but I would recommend just using 3M tape on the outer edges like OEM.

I am ready to begin production on these but it will take significant financial investment on my behalf to start the process. I am opening up a reservation for 10 people to receive the first ones produced. We are looking at 6-8 weeks to build the tooling, then another 6 weeks to build and deliver the initial units. A $500 deposit needed to hold yours. As much as I want to build these for the community I also need to gauge interest and feasibility. Those getting the spoiler will have first dibs on the forthcoming front splitter also.
.
All parts will be hand built here in the United States. Cost on these will initially be set at $950 shipped to your door. After this first batch of 10 I can asses the total cost involved. Check out the pics of the spoiler in Gloss Black below and let me know if you are interested.

The CF1 and 2 package are difficult to order. Still on constraints. Makes the BWs look so much better/agressive.

Maybe I'm mistaken, but I thought the CF1 package came with these parts in carbon:
