    Blackwing Maintenance Regimen

    Thanks everyone. Not looking to save money necessarily, just want to do it myself and make sure everything is done right and take a look underneath. I have the benefit of a 4-post lift in my garage. I tried swinging by my local Advance Auto and Pep Boys, neither could order the oil for me so...

    Blackwing Maintenance Regimen

    Where is the best place to buy M1 Supercar 0W-40 for the 5BW? I don't want to get it from Amazon or Ebay as it seems hard to trust anything is proper from those sources. I suppose I could likely pick it up at the dealer, but not sure if they are gouging people on price per quart. Need to pick...

    Winter Wheels and Tires

    I ended up getting some Apex VS-5RS wheels during the winter sale. 19x10 et20 and 19x11 et44 per their recommended sizes. I wanted to go with stock sizes and swap my summer PS4S over to them an put winter tires on my stock rims. Eventually just decided to put winter tires on the Apex wheels for...

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    Put on the winter setup today. Much stickier than the PS4S in these colder temps.

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    Spent last weekend ceramic coating the new wheels for my winter setup. Planning on mounting them this weekend.

    CT5-V Red pill or blue pill?

    How can you deny the red pill… But in all seriousness, I couldn’t make the leap for that amount of money just for a color change. I do love my RR color (besides the horrible GM paint).

    Paint nub issues and panel misalignments

    My car is full of paint defects and paint nibs. I had a bad one right on my gas cap that drove me nuts. My detail shop was able to carefully polish it down and it looks a million times better. There are more all around the car, but not as pronounced as that one was. I also have what appears...

    Double sided tape for badges

    I think you are exactly right! One side badge curves out in the middle and pops out. The back badge is flat and is peeling away at the edges. One side badge seems fine (which much be the correct application). Thank you! Maybe I should just convert to all black badges... if only they didn't...

    Double sided tape for badges

    I had my car PPF’d and the badges were removed and reinstalled. The badges have all started peeling off the car. I had a couple of them redone after the first couple weeks and now they are doing it again. The tape they used is a double sided black foam tape (asking them for exact type so I...

    What "don't" you like about your BW"?

    I will have to try this out next time it’s early in the morning. Thanks for the tip.

    What "don't" you like about your BW"?

    I know this is going against the grain…but when I pick stealth “engine noise”, I would like a quiet cold start to sneak out of the house early in the morning without waking up the family. Now it starts up like an angry race car, then quiets itself down into stealth mode after about 5-10...

    Pics of your Blackwing in regular parking spots

    Wasn’t sure who you were referencing here, but now I assume me due to the parking over the lines. Haha That’s the point of the end spot (I never double park)! It was also completely empty behind me in a gigantic parking lot.

    Jacking up your Blackwing

    I hate to keep extending this thread, but I installed the ZL1 Add-on‘s Stealth Lift pads recommended for the 5BW and they interfere with a piece of black plastic in the pocket of the lift point. Not sure what exactly the piece of plastic is attached to, but when I press it upwards it slightly...

    Dealers That Are Not Charging Above MSRP

    I think I might have been mistaken previously on the car from Faulkner in Trevose, PA (Philly burbs). I talked with my sales advisor, Ben Roberts, and he sent me the window sticker today for the 2024 CT5-V BW they have at MSRP. It is a pretty nice build if anyone is interested. Black, Black...

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    Picked it up from the detailer today! Just some quick phone photos, but hope to find some time for nicer ones this weekend before I get it too dirty. I was too excited to drive it.

    Cadillac Floor Protection on Sale

    When I bought the car, I earned a bunch of points from the transaction. I signed up for the "My Cadillac Rewards" program (free) and assigned that info to the car sale and my Onstar login. It all happened at the time I picked up the car. My Cadillac Rewards

    Any PDR Experts out there?

    Bummer, I thought it had a bunch of pre-saved tracks built into the PDR software. I must have misread that since I see no mention of that in the OM.
