    PPF Installer in Central TX (Austin, Dallas, San Antonio)

    Another good Dallas option is CeramicFX. Gunes wrapped my black CT4VB in STEK matte PPF, and applied 2 coats of ceramic (only because I insisted, he says STEK doesn’t really need ceramic.) 6 months later I’m still very happy with how everything came out.

    CT4V BW PPF - who has done it, and what panels

    Nice! Thanks for sharing this. I ordered electric blue initially and intended to wrap in matte PPF. I chickened out and changed my order to black (every time.) I like the way my car looks, but always hoped I would get a chance to see matte electric blue. It looks awesome as expected, congrats.

    CT4V BW PPF - who has done it, and what panels

    Full car STEK PPF, including all trim and lights (I have OCD issues.) Just over $10k. Glass is not protected on the outside, but full tint as well (another $1k.) 10yr warranty.

    CT4-V Rear wing is warping in the heat

    The shop who installed PPF on my 4BW also said the OEM adhesive was a pain and took awhile to fully remove after uninstalling the spoiler. They had to try more than once to get the spoiler to sit flush again without the new tape showing at the edge. Also, as I understand, there are nuts on all...

    Refund check(s) from the dealer / GM?

    I hope you get a nice check as well, but candidly, I have no idea. I didn’t look at the actual price difference from 2022-2023 at any point in the process. Even after I got the check. I took my salesperson’s word for it and cashed it.

    Refund check(s) from the dealer / GM?

    Yes, I got the same check. $470 from Sewell. My salesperson, Scott, researched and confirmed it was a price guarantee refund because I ordered in 2022 before the 2023 price increase. I paid the 2023 price when I took delivery and they are making us whole because we ordered in 2022. This is...

    CT4-V Not Tall Steve's Blackwing

    The shop I worked with broke the outer clips on mine during removal. They replaced with nuts like the inner bolts have.

    Pics of your Blackwing in regular parking spots

    How brave of you! I sincerely wish I had the courage to park next to a mini van. As a parent of small kids, I am too familiar with the lack of concern that vehicles’ occupants have for others property. Sliding door or not. Must be freeing to not worry about it.

    Pics of your Blackwing in regular parking spots

    I’ve had a few unsettling Uber rides recently, to and from airports specifically. Even Uber Black. Dashes full of lights, obvious suspension damage or bent wheels, careless drivers. So I try to arrive early enough to hunt for a good spot. Garage C at Love is full of gems.

    Caliper Color Change...

    I struggled with blue vs bronze when I ordered. I think the blue would look great. As long as you use the factory paint color it’s not really modifying the car. God forgives OEM mods, and wants you to be happy, so no guilt there. A good shop should be able to add the logo as well. (BTW.. Blue...

    Caliper Color Change...

    I had a black STI with bronze Titan 7 wheels. It looked great on that car. To me, the Blackwing makes a different statement than the STI. (Edit: after looking at these pictures for a second, I think this combo would look great on the Blackwing too.) But that is subjective and all comes down to...

    Tapout CT4-V Blackwing Carbon Fiber Intake Test Results

    All positive that I have seen. Here are a few: “The Tapout Tuning carbon fiber airbox is on point! I can’t believe it makes it so much faster. Incredible!” “New tapout carbon intake installed can definitely tell a difference….I can definitely tell a difference. With the tb and plugs already...

    CT4-V Not Tall Steve's Blackwing

    I’m so glad to find these pics. My car is getting a full PPF wrap now including color change. I decided to keep my roof gloss black, but told them to leave door mirrors and handles to last so I could decide once I see in person. Your pics confirm door mirrors should stay black for sure, and I’m...

    Tapout CT4-V Blackwing Carbon Fiber Intake Test Results

    Wow! Thank you. Guess I owe that beer now. Please let us know your thoughts as you accumulate a few miles. I’m also very interested in low end throttle response/torque under part throttle.

    Blackwing Order Tracking - 2022 Model Year

    Xpel Dallas is reputable. If they aren’t available when you are ready, CeramicFX is wrapping my 4BW now, they use Stek, I will report on quality next week. Also, Jekyll & Hyde’s looked like a good shop when I was looking. Detail Werkz Dallas has been excellent with tint and paint correction/ceramic.

    How is the paint on recent 2023 deliveries?

    I had mine flatbed towed to a detailer with the shipping plastic still on the car. They washed and dried under detailer lights. We found 6 small specs of trash in the clear and 3 clusters of runny clear about 6 inches long each. We expect all will come out with relative ease. 95% of people would...
