Blackwing Constraints Tracker

[M2Cto4BW]

I might go for the aftermarket rear spoiler if it matches OEM in appearance and quality. The front looks interesting, but I have a steep driveway and I worry about getting it damaged. First I gotta get a car before I need to think about any of that though...

Ya I saw a couple 4BWs with CF1 before I got mine and for sure the front splitter would be dicey in a bunch of places for me to the point you kinda have to mentally prepare for scraping. So spoiler and dive planes were what I was thinking I'd add.

Is there any constraint for carbon brakes?

 

[ernsteeng]

I'm wondering the same thing. Maybe that is why my build went to delayed. I had no CF or any of the other constrained items which probably helped the dealer to give me an allocation. I thought I heard something about it but I can't remember where....

Nice! I've been humming and hawing on the CF1 spoiler...

Is it "humming" or "hemming"...asking for a friend...

Assuming the friend is someone who's never had a passport and after going up the Eiffel Tower in Vegas thought it was the original? Ya you can let them have 'hemming'

As of now the aftermarket one @Terrance Sig is doing sounds like its very close to OEM, but it will not (unless he changed his mind) have the herring bone pattern in the center.

Now you're just "hamming" and hawing

Yeah, I guess it is "hemming". We used to say as kids, "himming". I'm staying with himming. Why change now?

Guess it's like po-ta-to and po-tot-to.

Queen's English - which we apply sometimes and sometimes not, North of the border - it's humming.
I get all my "u's" autocorrected out here, so I am damn sure to be humming when I haw
Not to be confused with hee-haw of course.

"According to GM Authority sources, the 2023 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing is currently unavailable to order with the Front bucket high-performance Full Semi-Aniline Leather Seats with Mini-Perforated inserts, Custom Quilting and Carbon Fiber front seatbacks. The seating option is unavailable to order as the result of a supplier issue."

This is a little confusing. Of course, the carbon backs are on constraint. You can supposedly order just the semi aniline seats with suede backs for only $5000 (even though it's the same RPO code). So which is it? The carbon or the leather? Both?

The $5000 option was not an option in the order system when my order was put in, so it's both as of now.

5K option does not exist, unfortunately

 

[Finally-a-V]

@CadzillaBoy and @Big Mac ........thank you for the clarification. Guess that's for later on....maybe
