    CT5-V Anderson Composites Hood Installed

    I had heard that the weight difference was minimal from others that made the switch but I couldn't find anyone that actually measured it so I checked my stock hood after the new one was installed and it was 28lbs with PPF, I had to E-mail Anderson Composites to get the weight of the carbon...

    Anderson Composites Type-SV Double Sided Carbon Fiber Hood for 2024 CT5-V BW

    The doors and the windows have similarities for sure but everything else about them is different. I certainly don't think they look like the same car.

    CT5-V CT5 Blackwing Deep Ocean Blue?

    Black mirror caps are a dealer installed accessory. The black badges should be installed from the factory though I would think.

    Finally got my Anderson Composites hood installed. Its subtle but certainly more aggressive. Fitment is OEM quality. The OEM hood weighs 28lbs, the AC hood weighs 26.7lbs.

    LS6 Manual Blackwing?

    The LS6 isn't a good fit for a Blackwing unless they make another variant and call it something else. 535hp is not going to be enough compared to the outgoing LT4 which makes 655hp. You can't add turbos or supercharger to the LS6 because it has 13:1 compression. It's highly unlikely that they...

    Has anyone gone from 4V to 5V

    I currently own a 4BW and a 5BW, both are very nice cars but there's no question to me that the 5BW feels more premium. The 4BW is smaller, lighter and feels a little bit more nimble, the 5BW feels roomier and has better ride quality. These are the biggest differences I've noticed other than the...

    Magnesium wheels anyone?

    BC Forged makes a LOT of aftermarket wheels for other companies that get rebranded. They are based out of Taiwan. I have used them twice in the past on my 2016 Hellcat and my 2020 C8 Stingray.

    Magnesium wheels anyone?

    Correct, I misspoke, Taiwan. As for your comment about China, my issue is that their manufacturing is not consistent. Apex wheels are made in China and have proven to be top notch because they've been vetted over the years and I would actually consider those, but I don't trust every brand of...

    Magnesium wheels anyone?

    I had a set of Signature wheels on my 2020 Shelby GT500, they are made in Thailand. I had a set of Vossen's on my 2021 Camaro ZL1, they are made in the US. Do you need pics too or is that proof enough?

    Magnesium wheels anyone?

    I dont buy from Alibaba. You can though. All wheels I buy are made in Thailand or the US. No Chinese wheels for me.

    Magnesium wheels anyone?

    Ralyan = Alibaba, that's why I woudn't consider it.
