    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. Best practice is to give no reason and break 1 law at a time so I have a tow hook mount. If you track or speed a lot be aware the edges or corners of the plate will...

    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!!

    Blackwing Child Car Seat Fitment

    Same height and family size here. CT4 won't work. I'm surprised you say the CT4 was only a bit tight. It was a total showstopper for us. More detail here: Media dumps

    CT5-V Driver-side Lumbar/Bolster/Massage adjustment not working

    I just had to warranty this a couple months ago at 20K miles. No massage or adjustment. Seat bolster unit died. The local dealer knew exactly what it was and ordered parts before I got there with the car for R&R.

    CT5-V Squeaking noise when pulling away from a stop or throttle at low RPM

    Yes, normal near idle RPMs. Characteristic of the 6.2L. A cute GM quirk. You can also hear it on newer Escalades and Denalis starting and leaving parking lots.

    Muffler Blues

    Muffler replacement or catalytic converter replacement? What's the code? There have been a few catalytic converter replacements w/in the forum, mine included. My cat failed due to a faulty spark plug in bank 1.
