My wife said, “he must want to race” and I said, “doubt it. You don’t put custom exhaust on that engine unless you like to hear it - he’s got 200+ horsepower on us!” Your car is beautiful. I love that blue, and I really dig the CTS-V style hood with the ducting. Very nice ride.

Saw a coastal blue 5bw on Sam Houston tollway today. Custom exhaust, blacked out badges, custom hood. On here??

THIS. I find that if you don’t rotate it, one side will say full and one side will say low. It’s the strangest oil check experience I’ve had in a car, for sure. Spin that sucker 360 degrees.

Been meaning to get one of these especially as I approach my 3 year anniversary in this car. Your post reminded me to pull the trigger. Thanks!!

Or take them off completely. They will only be nudged so far because of all the interference. I probably took away too many degrees of freedom.

You probably posted, but it’s hard to sift through and keep current with a 24 page thread that is several years old!

Lesson learned for all of my colleagues on here. I bought the 8000TL quickjacks this week, and just tried to lift my blackwing. Measure twice, buy once. My lifting pucks are 60” apart (center to center), and the farthest reaches of the trays on the QJ are 59.75” apart. No go without some...

I used these same pads under by 4BW — thanks for the link. Also cut the plastic - no biggie. But getting that rear set screw tight on the back pads was an exercise in patience! I think that set screw on each side took longer than the entire process on the rest.

That’s one of the best looking 5BW I have ever seen. Love the hood — as it should be.

I just replaced mine for the first time in my 2023 4BW with nearly 30,000 miles on it. I don’t do anything exotic with my keys when not driving. This seems like a normal battery interval to me. Replacing them 12 times, like another poster noted, is NOT normal.

Put on the smoked amber side markers. Really happy with the result, especially on a black raven car.

I had both of my tail lights replaced under warranty for condensation. I haven’t noticed it since, thankfully.

Got some Blackwing badges that are as good as OEM from Amazon and put them on the sides under the V’s like the new cars. Now my 2023 looks “modern”!

That looks totally badass.
