    Installed some sound insulation this weekend

    Dynamat isn't fun to install. Looks good though.

    Painting calipers to red

    This is the kind of rattle can paint I use. Clean the calipers well with brake cleaner first. https://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/duplicolor-caliper-spray-paint-red-aerosol-resists-heat-to-500-deg-f-resists-chipping-chemicals-12-oz-bcp100/7141502-P

    Nice stance after getting the spacers sorted out.

    Painting calipers to red

    I never clear coated my calipers but you can if you want to seal in the decal or make them shinier. I wanted to be able to change out the decal if needed. For some cars where I have painted the calipers black I don't even tape up the pads. They get painted black and disappear behind the wheel...

    Wiring harness issue

    The first guy I talked to tried to get me in for an inspection and then they would order the part. Someone else ordered it and then I went in for the repair. It's a recall. They have to install the part regardless.

    Hello from Orlando

    You found mine. Sorry I didn't see yours. I would have definitely noticed it. You were parked over in the larger lot. You have to get there early for a good spot.

    Hello from Orlando

    I was at Winter Park cars and coffee on 10/8 parked in an end spot. There was also a CT5-V non BW on the same row and with the same color as my 4BW.

    It doesn't hurt to ask for the employee discount. A friend was able to get the employee discount on a 18 Camaro ZL1 1LE when they first came out. The dealer dropped the mark up too.

    Painting calipers to red

    I've always had good results with off the shelf caliper paint. The calipers can be painted on the car. Just tape up everything. Brembo stickers can be found on Amazon and eBay and can be clear coated. I didn't clear coat mine and they never peeled. These are my Camaro SS calipers repainted.

    PedalMonster Install for 2023 CT5V

    It's been a while since I removed the pedal on my old SS so down may have been the direction of travel. Thanks for the clarification.

    Wiring harness issue

    I had the recall performed a week ago on 9/28. My dealer called me the day the recall came out and the part was ordered before the strike started. There is an anti abrasion sleeve for the wire harness and it gets zip tied away from the brake line. The tech inspects the brake line, if there are...

    CT4 BW brake question

    It's awesome that your dealer is going to pay for a Cadillac dealer inspection and brake job. That could come out to a big bill with OEM pads. There is only one wear sensor for the front pads and one for the rear.

    PedalMonster Install for 2023 CT5V

    I once had a throttle controller on my 16 Camaro SS. If the Camaro gas pedal is similar to the CT5, to remove the pedal, remove the 10mm bolt and slide the pedal upward toward the firewall. There is a tab in the pedal that slides into a slot in the floor.

    New owner questions on caring for the car

    Congrats on the new BW. The A10 transmission will generally keep you from destroying it by up or down shifting when the motor RPM is not a match. Whatever accessories you decide to get, you can get them online for less money than the dealer. You should get Cadillac points that may be enough for...

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    This week I changed the 4BW brake pads to less dusty Powerstops and ceramic coated the wheels and calipers.

    Hello from DeBary

    Hi guys, I'm in Orlando. My buddies and I hit up various cars and coffees and Cruisin Orlando shows on the weekends.

    Hello from Orlando

    Hi Mikey, I know where Davenport is. I'm in east Orlando. I go to cars and coffee or cruise in meets about every weekend and I'll have my 4 BW most of the time. I don't usually get to anything on the south side of Orlando or the attractions area. That's a little far for me.

    Pics of your Blackwing in regular parking spots

    My 23 4BW at a local car show. My friends own the silver Camaro 1LE, the blue Mustang and the red Camaro ZL1. The BW got more comments and looks than the others.
