When I researched, it stated it was a decal/overlay and I was concerned. Does it still state so in their description? It was the reason I went with the 404Parts. Savage is much cheaper as it’s a multi piece overlay setup. 404Parts is much more expensive, but it’s painted 1piece OEM with tinted...

Another idea to throw out there- I have successfully used G2 caliper paint system twice on other cars. What I liked is that I didn’t have to worry about disconnecting the brake line and purging the brake system with the worry of moisture getting in the fluid, etc. I bought two kits as I jacked...

They were pushed up until they made contact with the pinch weld seam hanging down vertical. I’m not by my car, but memory is that a couple touched slightly until the pinch weld seam made contact. The black inner plastic of the side skirt will flex inward slightly until it touches the metal...

Hey @Argent86, cool bolts but I haven’t used them, so not sure. I have the 14” 2 piece (7” each) and love them. I also have the solid 10” ones and swamp between them.

Have had numerous cars with pinch welds to lift by and zero issue for me. I’ve used the universal ZL1 with floor pad adapter with zero issues on various cars over the years. (13 Explorer, 14 Mustang, 16 Z06, 17 Camaro ZL1 vert, 22 5BW) I finally bought and installed these ZL1 pads on my 22 5BW...

Just passed the three year mark with Sly Brackets and zero issues. In my area, they look for any reason to stop you and the lack of front plate is a convenient one. No issues on cooling during street/highway driving and I haven’t thought about it again and I could care less what people think...

Wow, glad to hear you’re ok. I’m fairly sure they will say it’s totaled. When I had my car a part to installed all the CF1 & CF2 carbon fiber, highly doubtful the inner bracing of the body didn’t get bent up and not repairable. Nice to see all the air bags for protection. I’m also glad I have...

Congratulations and the car is a beauty! Looks great!

There are no F Deflectors on non carbon cars. The non carbon cars factory black front splitter is smaller than the carbon one and at the end at the fender blends flush. On a carbon car, the front splitter is larger and sticks out at the ends to accommodate the F Deflectors. Without them, it...

Totally agree, I always add a factor to make the overall sales process as easy as possible and at the speed necessary to complete my entire transaction.

Thanks for sharing your experience and great to see lower cost alternatives. The big difference on the OEM, besides the brownish hue, is the way the weave lacks the “V” design in the pattern on the rear spoiler, front splitter, upper grille header and rear diffuser. For the person looking to...

Automatic on my 22’ 5BW as my wife wanted something she could drive in occasionally. I have a 16’ Z06 manual that satisfies for the manual side. I could swear my 10A auto reads my mind as it’s always in a gear that matches the situation and I have zero complaints.

I purchased from 404parts the one rated for adaptive cruise control. 2020–2025 Cadillac CT5 Black Color Emblem Kit | UGN Compatible It looks and works perfectly. I love it and it toned down the front, IMO. I hated the large chrome outline of the original emblem. Depending on the light angle...

If it’s that important to get to 6500 rpm, maybe you can get it changed by using HP tuners, but that could void your warranty. You can paddle shift or trade it in for a manual trans car. Good luck in whatever you do.
