    Looking for touch up paint for tech bronze wheels

    Hey, no joke, Sharpie's metallic gold is an almost perfect color match. LINK. If you ground to bare aluminum you may need to use a black Sharpie as a basecoat first. If it's a large scuff/scratch you could also have the wheel refinished which should be ~$100-150/wheel. I'm still looking for a...

    2025 CT5 BW - AKG Settings

    Mine's a 2024 pre-facelift w/o wraparound instrument cluster if that matters. The important thing is if you fade rearward a little bit it makes a difference in bass and depth while leaving the soundstage toward the front more than other systems I've had. I've also found if you move all...

    Front plate

    It's primary in Washington State. Deprioritized in Seattle by SPD. If that's your only regular offense, your risk is likely low.

    Has anyone “fixed” the ugly plastic piece below the infotainment screen?

    There's the same black diamond tricoat treatment on our CT5-V Blackwing door/window switch cover plates. I bet some of y'all will need to change that to carbon too now that I've pointed it out, otherwise your feng shui will be off!!
