Not sure that's GM's fault. Pretty sure they only build cars that the dealers order. Though @Rob might have insight on the any "incentives" that GM might have which puts pressure or even requirements on dealers to order these cars?
If you have kids, especially, pre-teens, I would definitely get PPF on them. My kids are now old enough and driving their own cars, though they are enthusiasts like me and are careful on the occasions when they do sit in the backseat of my BW.
Just looked and my car has those spots as well. Never noticed before. Mine has been on dealer lift twice and they are perfectly straight. No bends like in @Neveready shows in his photo.
Ah, those look much better in these photos and absent of the plastic coating. Still odd that none of the online parts sites recognize that part number. Did you also get CT5 and other V-badges through GM as well?
I searched multiple GM part sites and that part number came back with no results. Maybe it's a "special" part from that dealer. Especially if it's just a plastic cover. Very odd.
Not sure how about that spray job. You can barely read the Blackwing now. The letters on the plain one are pretty deep. Looks like the paint just pooled up in the lettering there.
Most likely that your car was on lower rack of transport truck and chains hanging down from upper rack were swinging scaping against the paint. Hence the curved pattern. A couple of similar situations posted last year that were attributed to that.
Anyone do the lamin-x tints on their taillights and if so, how did they come out?
Their lamin-x website has the following warning for the CT5 taillights
***ATTENTION, DUE TO THE EXTREME CURVATURE ON THE LENS, THIS PRECUT DOES NOT FULLY COVER THE TAIL LIGHT. PLEASE SEE OUR UNIVERSAL SHEETS...
I had the same thing when I went for a drive yesterday. The tiles only work with some of apps including Google Maps, but not yet for Waze. FWIW, I really like the new tiled screen.
Hopefully this gets resolved before the next class otherwise EV might be the way to go

Great photos. Thanks very much for posting @KatyTxCT5V. Good to know that both have adhered well and even curved. Probably says more about the adhesive tape than the badges themselves. I am torn between the black V with multi-color flag vs. black V with red flag from 0fx2gv for my infrared...
Interestingly here on Long Island, I have only seen two others in the 18 months since the BWs have hit the roads. Interestingly, I've seen just as many Escalade Vs on the road and they have been out for just a few months. Though one owned by a guy around the block from my house. I've seen his...
