Ouch....sorry to hear man...

Thank you sir!

21450 on my 5, just turned a year old.....but I retired last Friday so the daily driving is over! But I sure loved driving it to work every day.....

Quote: " While the program has come to an end, you may still obtain V-Series Blackwing badges through purchase from your local Cadillac dealer. Simply inquire with the parts dept. in ordering part # 87841942." This is from the email I received last week.

I have had a least 3 case numbers in regards to the badge through Cadillac, every time they said it was going to be shipped. The last lady that I spoke with told me that their system showed that my case had been resolved....obviously not. She then opened up ANOTHER case file and said it would be...

Well....got an email from Cadillac telling me that the Blackwing badge mail out to customers has ended...BUT I would be able to PURCHASE the part from the local Cadillac dealer.

Still trying to figure out how this is a bad thing....I don't use rev-match that often, but still get the situation you described on downshifts. I like it.

Thanks guys!

Yep, had the same issue until I figured out it was the wrong fob that was the culprit. Once I matched up the correct fob with the set functions, all was well.

Took a direct hit from something and the lens is cracked. Any thoughts on difficulty of replacing this? I haven't researched the cost of the lens either. Any info is greatly appreciated.

Agreed...don't lower yourself...

I live in the same area as you, and I haven't gotten stopped yet for no front plate. I drove a 2011 vette and didn't get stopped with that one either. I would have to really re-evaluate things if it started happening, but for now, the plate stays off...
