Have you tried oil filter pliers? Factory oil filter on my Ram 6.7CTD was impossible to get off with normal oil filter wrenches, so bought a pair and easy-peasy https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002SR53K/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A3IZCSV8ZE8KTE&th=1

Pohpoh that are itching for a reason to stop/give you a ticket or to boost the total ticket revenue of another reason for stopping you. It's a money thing... not insignificant local/state revenue comes from motor vehicle violation fines.

Here: Cadillac 20-23 CT4-V Blackwing Standard Rock Guards

Just to close the loop on this thread/question- Ended up getting XPEL full front/hood/fenders/mirrors and put ZL1Addons Rock Guards on front and rear. Hopefully that will help keep the chips to a minimum.

Took delivery today and then took the really looong way home :cool: Will get more pictures later when lighting situation is better, but here's a few I quick snapped today.

I really like this concept. Well done. It's got my mind spinning now as I get frustrated with the time and "theatrics" needed to get a car lifted and safely held on all four corners in my current garage/driveway situation using ramps, floor jacks, and wheel cribs.

LOL, still looks like a "10" in his driveway. But, I'm also highly partial to RRT :LOL:

So my understanding, but speedy probably knows waaay better, is that GM vehicles can be ordered "retail sold" and do not show in the public facing system as they are already considered sold. That was the case for my 1LE at least... it never showed anywhere, even on the Chevy inventory search...

Car arrived at dealership yesterday. Getting PPF installed on the front and hood and will pick it up on Saturday. Can’t wait!!!

So a week and half after built and waiting transit, Cadillac sends me an email "Congratulations, your car has been built". Better late than never;LOL Or maybe they are just erring on the side of under-promise to maximize chance of perceived over-deliver:unsure:

Then there is the part of me that is like F' it, it's a car and meant to be driven and used as I did the '15 Camaro. Drive it like it came from the factory and the chips are simply natural patina. But then I think think of how I'm a gonna be sad seeing the first big chips in the front fascia...

Good point on the mid-hood line between PPF and paint. Have a couple acquaintances with the partial and still looks good after a couple years but this is intended to be my long term DD, so maybe worth avoiding possible longer-term frustration along the exposed PPF line.

Long Caddy.. drive past there every day to/from work. Good to hear you got what you wanted, awesome car:happyanim: <- And love the RRT, you won't be disappointed.

Thanks. Pulls the window sticker. They did indeed build the car I wanted. You might laugh but at this point in my life, I take nothing for granted

Good input, thanks. Given the square front of the car was leaning towards this plus rockers and the rear quarter in front of tire. From where the '15 Camaro and other cars got most peppered with damage, seems like a reasonable mix of cost vs protection. Thoughts?
