    Semi-Aniline Interior Packages with Suede Seat Backs vs Carbon Fiber Seat Backs...

    Well… seats, carbon fiber, and ceramic break rotors are all substantial available options on the 5BW. I’m assuming the seats are actually worth the money and not included in the standard package to make the base price more competitive within its segment.

    Loved them… miss them terribly. Made the mistake of modifying them. 🙈

    Anyone get their Blackwing badge yet? And are you putting it on?

    That was my first thought as well but in all honesty I think that spot is too low on the car to get much notice.

    Enter Sandman

    Greetings fellow Cadillac V and Blackwing enthusiasts 😃 I like to wait until a few weeks have passed and I have some posts under my belt before posting an intro thread... just to make sure I’m worthy of the group and vice versa. I‘m a long time GM specialty and performance guy, especially...

    BW Paint Protection Advice

    Of course that’s true… there are some things PPF does better. But it’s very expensive and so far I haven’t seen a film, with or without additional ceramic coating, that didn‘t look start to dingy out around the 5 to 7 year mark If it sees significant driving time. I try to avoid Mr. Rock as...

    BW Paint Protection Advice

    Save the PPF for the uber priced Sunday drivers and garage queens. YMMV. A good detailer doing a proper paint correction and high quality ceramic coat and then a regular detailing routine with a ceramic coat revive product when needed is to me the sweet spot for a car that sees regular use...

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    At purchase I requested the dealer installed black mirror option which they graciously threw into the deal for no additional cost. I opted to wait until after the originals were ceramic coated. They were installed yesterday. They gave me the original Blaze Orange mirror shells back so I have a...

    BW Paint Protection Advice

    I have Xpel Max on mine… so far so good. Very shiny! PPF sounds good on paper but needs a really good installer. Also, the film wears on a daily driver and does not look pristine after a few years. IMO.

    Spring Mountain Impressions

    Nobody with the good taste to drive a CT4-V Blackwing would miss an opportunity to enjoy some onion bhajis. A CT5-V Blackwing owner OTOH… I’d have asked about the Buffalo wings. 🤭

    I solved that annoyance by switching to oil, water, and trans fluid temps and TPMS status gauges.

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    I may have flexed… just a little. Or was it a pucker?

    TPMS Accuracy

    So what’s the consensus… trust my gauge and assume the TPMS is off a pound or two? Or trust the TPMS and assume my gauge is off a pound or two?

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    Got pulled over by a lone lady cop in Bradenton Fl some time back for going through a red left turn signal and then exceeding the posted 30 mph speed. I was in my black XLR at the time. She scolded me but was eyeing the car the whole time. After the scolding she asked if it was a convertible...

    TPMS Accuracy

    My TPMS tire pressures on delivery of the car were about 33-34 lbs when cold (Florida garage cold - temperature in the 70's). I have a very accurate setup for airing up tires with a compressor, quick connect and large inline "racing" pressure gauge. When I checked them with my gauge they were...

    Thanks! Was about to dig into this after work but it suddenly corrected itself. :)
