Living in the desert, repairing windshields becomes a bit of a hobby, and necessity, so I decided to give this one a try and seal the chip from yesterday. Turned out pretty well, can't really even see it was cracked, other than a couple of dots.. Hopefully, since it's "broken in" now with its...

I'll join the club.. I picked up my BW on Friday the 28th from the dealer after I had returned it to fix the dent that was caused by the shipper, and get the tint put on, so I've had it a total of 3 days and today got onto the highway and CRACK! The noise that makes your stomach knot up as...

Thanks for the response.. I've had my share of cars with black interiors, and I think lighter colored seats make a cabin brighter, and look more upscale. These seats are fantastic in both their looks and their feel with all of the adjustments that they have. So, now the car is back at the...

Thank you, sir! New cars are like that, so I didn't expect a smooth right out of the gate.. It happened once before too, a million years ago when I bought a VW Passat and it was my first new stick shift car. Every time I shifted into second, it would grind a bit. I immediately assumed it...

The dent was definitely a bummer, but I almost expected something to be wrong with the car, so in my warped world, I wasn't surprised. I just don't want them to replace that entire piece of sheetmetal and repaint it, so I'm going to ask for them to try to repair it in place. I did want to take...

@Rob I picked up my car this weekend, so I can be taken out of the tracker. Thank you for the continuous updates and the forum. As everyone has said, this car is so well worth the wait. It's next level GM imho. The turn-in, shifter, clutch, exhaust sound and so many other details that can...

Agreed.. Great color combo, and will look even better after it's tinted. Nice shots!

Thank you! Yes, it's Blaze Orange, Blue calipers, Sky Cool Grey Seats, Torch Red Belts, Sunroof, Satin Graphite Wheels, PDR, Technology & Climate Package, and most importantly, 6 Spd Manual.

BlackWings are flowing into dealers today it seems.. I just got this from my dealer in Phoenix... Arrived at 4:30pm MST, so I'll be getting it tomorrow for the weekend.. Tint on Monday. PPF later next week..

@Rob My dealer called this week and my car is "in transit" and apparently was near Kansas City on Wednesday, the 12th, so it sounds like I may see it at the dealer mid-to-end of next week. GM apparently hasn't updated the status since it's still showing delayed. The few of us in Phoenix will...

That proves how crazy these times are because my '23 4BW is number 46-0007 (the Bond Car), so it was built first (albeit by 4 cars :)), and it's still in Delayed. Or maybe it's because you live closer in Michigan, whereas I'm on the other side of the country in AZ, which would put some sense...

@Tall Steve since you have both a 4BW & a 5BW, are the two systems the same across the models? I know the Escalade's AKG is a better system, at least according some a few reviewers on youtube, but could just be that the Cade is bigger and can fit more speakers & amps. I have always upgraded my...

This is how I picture status 4B00 in Lansing in the winter..

Not sure if this article was posted anywhere (didn't find in an initial search), but it indicates that the chip shortage is the current cause for delays across the board for all GM vehicles: https://www.slashgear.com/915080/gm-built-95000-vehicles-it-cant-sell/ Another one from July...

Me to friends, and some family (early 2022): "I ordered a new 2023 Blackwing" Friends and family: "That's cool. when do you get it?" Me: "I don't know" F&F: "How long does it take to make?" Me: "I don't know" F&F: "When did they tell you it would ship" Me: "They didn't" F&F: "Did you call the...
