    More Aggressive CT5-V Blackwing Carbon Front Splitter

    They were not. They'll be sent at a later time after Terrance has enough of them to ship.

    More Aggressive CT5-V Blackwing Carbon Front Splitter

    It's worth a worry if I'd dragged it along the asphalt or dropped it out of its box. I did neither. I merely set it down to snap the pic while standing over it. Oh, and it's got a handy coating of PPF on it, too. ;-)

    More Aggressive CT5-V Blackwing Carbon Front Splitter

    That looks great on your car. I'm tempted to put mine on, too, but I think I'd rather wait till the wickers come in so I'm under the car once vs twice. And I see you're a fellow Virginian, too.

    More Aggressive CT5-V Blackwing Carbon Front Splitter

    It's asphalt, and we know how delicate carbon fiber is. Right? Oh wait... it's actually tough as fuck. Never mind. ;-)

    More Aggressive CT5-V Blackwing Carbon Front Splitter

    Look what I just got from @Terrance Sig :-) The sun is low in the sky so the lighting kinda sucks. But it's here and it's gorgeous. I'm not going to try and install it until the 3D printed fender wickers are here. So it'll sit in my garage waiting. Looking forward to seeing it on the car...

    Kill switch in 2026

    It's part of the same Infrastructure bill that OP is referencing. And again, it's entirely up to NHTSA on whether and how that gets implemented.

    Kill switch in 2026

    You've said nothing that can be interpreted as disappointing. I was merely answering the OP's post, which has a pile of questions in it that NO ONE CAN ANSWER right now. Theorize all you like, tin-foil all you want, it's not going to amount to a hill of beans in this discussion because the...

    Kill switch in 2026

    This topic will immediately devolve into government bashing, tin-foil-hat folks complaining about over-reach, etc. I promise it will. We need to be very clear on this: nothing's been decided by NHTSA yet. They will determine how the bits of that awful Infrastructure Act will be implemented...

    Any photos of the pieces together?

    More Aggressive CT5-V Blackwing Carbon Front Splitter

    Hey @Terrance Sig have you seen this thread about some sort of clips needed for the CF splitter? You've been under both kinds of cars I assume? Do the CF splitters need another part to attach properly to the front end, or is it just the same bolt holes that the non-CF splitter uses?

    Official Cyber Yellow Thread

    You honestly think I'll be caught dead in public parking next to your car if you get that color? ;-)

    Official Cyber Yellow Thread

    It wouldn't surprise me. GM re-uses most of their colors in one way or another, and adding green was exactly what they did for the C8's "baby diarrhea" yellow. So your impression is probably spot on. Sean, you have better taste than that, I know you do. Of course... you DID buy two bright...

    Dogs/Pets

    Funny: one of mine (the fox red one) is Zeus as well. Sunday morning: loaded up in the BigRedTruck, and off on a 2.5 hour drive to see my lady friend in PA: Later that night, Hercules decided to sit on Zeus' back, which wasn't what I'd intended: (My hairy legs, too. Ignore those).

    Great idea Terrance. Thanks for thinking that one up!

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    It's been a busy week or so. Last weekend, off to Poor-sha's "garage" (haha) for a custom 4-wheel alignment. Results: a good compromise between street and track. This past week: to the dealer for a brake and differential fluid flush now that I've finally passed the 1500 mile mark. Then...

    Engine Break In - 500 mi or 1500 mi

    That's not .. exactly... what happens. The are dyno-driven, but not anywhere NEAR redline. It's done for a quick emissions test. And they aren't "beating the crap" out of them, either. As I said at the beginning of this thread: the engine doesn't need a break-in. The differential does...

    Engine Break In - 500 mi or 1500 mi

    I'd imagine with a large enough pair of balls and hitting T10 perfectly at SPR Main, 140 down the main straight wouldn't be out of the question either.

    What is this "semi-aniline" stuff?

    Sounds like the constraints are loosening up. Good news!

    What is this "semi-aniline" stuff?

    They weren't on constraint when you ordered your car. They are, now. No one gets them now unless they order the hyper-expensive Anniversary package (which isn't available any longer). Until they come off constraint, it doesn't matter how special you think you are, you're not getting them. ;-)...

    What is this "semi-aniline" stuff?

    Sure folks, "only way to fly" and "worth it to you" assuming you can get them. :-)
