Compared to many cars, the front end of a 5BW is challenging for the installer if you want all the trim pieces covered. It takes a lot of time and patience.

Sundown at the lake.

About $5,500.00, which was much higher than I'd initially anticipated. But choosing the top of the line PPF & tint plus all of the little extras including paint correction adds up in a hurry. It looks great, but the real test will of course be the test of time.

To compare the output of the PDR & SVR more directly: Here's a screenshot from the front SVR camera: The SVR produces an AVI file at 960x540 resolution, using H264 encoding at 30 frames per second with no audio: Here's a screenshot from PDR video of the same moment in time: The PDR...

I use the free VLC player on Mac OS to play back the PDR files, and it works just fine for both audio and video.

Basic paint correction, PPF on the front, full body ceramic coating plus wheels and calipers, and windows tinted. Still haven't had a chance to take any "after" photos in the wild, but I will. PPF is SunTek Reaction, ceramic coating is CQuartz, and tint is SunTek Evolve 30%. Shines like new...

Can't wait to hear it!

Perfect. Please do!

Makes sense. Thanks.

Did you happen to make a "before" recording so you can compare it with an "after" recording? Would love to hear the difference.

No doubt this is one of those things considered common knowledge on this forum, but as a nOOb here I'm gonna ask anyway. Why are these in the trunk rather than having been installed at the factory?

Passing through an intersection last weekend, I saw a red CT5 waiting at the cross street stoplight. All I could see was the font end, and even that only briefly. I couldn't tell if it was BW or not, so that got me thinking about how to ID a Blackwing on the fly - particularly from the front...

Aside from the Blackwing badge on the back (and the sound of the exhaust, of course), how do you distinguish a Blackwing from a non-Blackwing V-Series? I think the Blackwings have a different grille pattern, but that can be hard to see clearly while driving. Other visual clues?

Performance and aesthetic mods needn't be mutually exclusive. I have an appointment for adding PPF, ceramic coating, and window tinting in a few weeks. None of them will improve the car's performance, but they're still important to me. I for one enjoy a few trinkets and baubles that make the...

Funny you should mention that… I had one on my SS too. I modified the old design for use on my 5BW and sent it off to signs.com for production just yesterday.

Just installed.

Couldn't agree more. Glad you got it sorted out -- that's what a forum like this is for!

And here's the link to the thread itself, if you're interested. Some good info in there.
