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...

Found one in NC, loaded, but pretty far from you. Not sure the dealer price. Site Maintenance

Have you checked inventory on the Cadillac web page? I did a quick search, 200 mile radius around San Francisco and there are 12 listed, all 2026, 10 at the dealer and 2 in transit, all but one listed at MSRP. The other says contact dealer, so it may be higher. 4 manual, 8 auto.

I'm seeing the online sources running around $2300, but not in stock. Still, more than 3x the cost from 3 years ago.

At the time I ordered the OEM front splitter, it ran $730 with $40 shipping, it was about the same price as the aftermarket versions. That was back in 3/23. I probably should have ordered two, just in case.

My car is an exception to that rule, although it is Shadow Metallic (gray). I had an order waiting for months that wasn't going to get filled in 2022, so I was looking at 2023 at the earliest. I had checked around at dealer inventory in Ohio and surrounding states and in September I got a...

Another source is www.repaintsupply.com I also got touchup paint for my black satin for a couple scratches when the wheel fell over on the concrete drive as I was swapping for winter wheels.

I'm planning my first burnout sometime next Spring.

All five of my factory black lug nuts were gouged from the air wrench when they took off my rear tire to pull out a screw. So that's one thing...

I can understand the summer tires won't work effectively in cold weather. I do question the manufacturer warnings about not storing in colder weather and cracking tires by driving on them. Aren't there Corvettes and other performance cars with standard summer tires sitting on dealer lots in the...

Of the options you listed, CF1 or 2 can be easily (relatively) added later, especially for a 5BW although at some expense for factory parts. I wouldn't let that be a determining factor IMO. I added the full CF1 to my 4BW including the dive planes and I'm happy with it.

Nope. It's the same part but the part number has changed.

How about a leftover 2024 Arrival Edition...

Wow, the price on those has really skyrocketed. This is what I purchased it for in 2023:
