That's a lot of letters!

I had one fail on me as well! It was an aluminum scissor jack from the trunk of a brand new 2000(ish) Audi A4. A colleague had a flat, and I offered to change it for her in the company parking lot. I got the flat off, and just after I stuck it under the rocker panel the scissor jack twisted...

Good to know for my next trip upstate!

I recommend the upgraded mats from Lloyd's. They put the stock mats to shame. It's one of my go-to upgrades for improving the feel, fit and finish of an interior.

I'm tempted! How is the quality?

IMHO, sometimes local/county police lie. They target out of state tags (don't want to anger the local voters). No detection avoidance system will help you in that situation. Example: I got a super speeder ticket in GA (86 mph) on I95. I was in the middle lane with about 10 cars, all...

I was going to say it is an amazing CT4V BW, until I saw the UM license. What??? (Kidding - Gator here, love the UM/UF rivalry.) Great looking car! The black and tan reminds me of the original q-ship, E28 M5.

Doppelganger. Although mine has no sunroof, no CF, and does have the CCBs. Funny that I just put a PPF (not matte) on mine last week!

While I love the tech, I prioritize the driving experience. The larger screens are awesome, but... yeah... I found a '24 with only 3k miles and bought it. I preferred the Gen1 front end, and the smaller screen. Also helped that it was local, MT, had a slick top, CCB and a great color (MSM).

Installed a Soler throttle body and throttle controller. Fairly straightforward, once you figure out how to pop the little retaining clips on the harness plugs. Took the car out to work on the TB learning process using Sport 5 on the controller, and wowzers - the initial dead spot on-throttle...

I know not about the deflectors, but I do know that many Blackwings appear to have left the factory without the fasteners installed on that exact part of the wheel well. On a different thread in this forum, I located the correct fastener to purchase and install myself.

Savage has a version for the '25+ models as well. 2025+ CT5-V Blackwing Double Row LED Side Marker Lights

Savage Cadillac sourced clear side markers, before and after.

I use a ETA MFG Rennstand. I used to have a quickjack, but it took up too much space in the garage, and was a beast to move around. In searching for a better home-enthusiast solution, I tried out an integrated jackpoint/jackstand. It's not cheap (although much less than a quickjack), but you...

I also got the Savage side markers (clear that blinks orange). Once I figured out that the little red clip needs to go all the way back (not halfway, where it -clicked-), the replacement was a piece of cake. Plug and play.
