    OEM 4BW Graphite replacement wheel - part numbers?

    I've got two brand new front polished wheels I was going to use for winter tires but ended up with Apex for Summers when the rears went on constraint. The 25.2 is my measurement because I wanted to compare the Apex VS-5RS (17.9 front, 18.2 rear, same as OEM widths).

    Narrowed down to 3 colors - help me out, pictures encouraged!

    Personally, I'd go for the DSM. Not quite the same as shadow metallic, but it's a combo similar to my '22 4 BW and I love it. I also love the Sky Cool Gray seats. But color is a personal thing so you do you. Dealer orders are almost always Summit White or Raven Black, are the only colors...

    Ultra-Rare CT4-V Blackwing Appearance Package

    I think sometimes those Cadillac web page links act strangely. They all open to the Coastal blue for me, but maybe the link doesn't work the same for others. The snapshot above is of the .pdf I posted.

    Ultra-Rare CT4-V Blackwing Appearance Package

    I don't see RRT anywhere on the sticker or the description. I only see Coastal Blue Metallic.

    Ultra-Rare CT4-V Blackwing Appearance Package

    Interesting Sethsquire's photos show the actual car with the standard BW plastic trunk spoiler, but the stock photos show the upgraded carbon style spoiler.

    Gas Grade

    Plus the cost of 90 (pure gas) around here is the same as premium 93 (with ethanol). I buy the 90 for my lawn equipment and for my 1992 Camaro that's basically in storage that requires premium, but I don't want ethanol in a car that runs infrequently.

    [Now Available] AWE SwitchPath™ Exhaust for the Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing

    If I were to get an aftermarket exhaust, I think I'd prefer the Corsa slanted black chrome tips. Maybe AWE will have something similar at some point.

    CT5V Bumper Removal - Help

    See the video in the link. https://www.cadillacvnet.com/forums/threads/carbon-fiber-pn-database.2709/post-75700 On the CT4 there is an identical socket mounted on the top left shock tower in the engine compartment that is easy to access that you can practice on, if the CT5 has the same thing...

    Media dumps

    I think the Ioniq 5 N also has a simulated shift feature too. So who knows. I was really just yanking everyone's chain, but even if they do go with simulated shifting it's likely an auto paddle shift instead of a clutch. By the way, without looking too deeply into it the Ioniq 5 N might be...

    Did you do or are doing V academy

    Interesting to me at least, the window sticker of a 2025 CT4 in the registry thread also shows engine made in USA and 6-speed trans in Mexico. My 2022 CT4 has the engine made in Austria and the 6 speed in USA.

    Parking sensor cover/cap replacement part ?

    I have some pics from my carbon dive plane upgrade. That sensor is on the face of the inner bumper structure, so you not only have to remove the entire bumper, you'll have to separate that inner structure. I wish I had taken pics of the inner structure when I had that apart, but you can see the...

    Brake pad install questions

    I just did mine using the Powerstop Z26. I would also suggest reusing the original pins if you're doing the same. The rear pins just were slightly fatter and shorter and didn't want to go in nicely. If the original pins are in good shape, clean them and reuse them all. I took extra time cleaning...

    CT4-V Frustration with build quality

    If you're going to replace the throttle body, you might consider the ported one from Tapout Gigs Performance Ported Throttle Body* - Tapout Tuning Roadhawk seems to like his. I haven't installed mine yet but soon. Even if you go stock, they have instructions on that product page.

    Apex Wheels for CT4-V Blackwing

    If you haven't installed those pads yet, I suggest cleaning and reusing the OEM pins on the rear. I bought the 1405/1053 combo, and they fit fine except the pins on the rear seem a hair short and they are fatter and hard to drive in. The OEM pins went back easily and still firmly in place. I...

    Factory carbon cars - how is your carbon fading?

    I've mentioned before and I point it out again here, we had a Cadillac club meet at a local dealer in 2023 and they had a brand new 2023 Road Atlanta edition and the carbon on it was gray tinted unlike every other factory car I've seen. They may have been changing vendors at the time, or using...

    Pics of your Blackwing in regular parking spots

    Only thing that '79 Z is missing is T-Tops. Period correct tires too. I ran those on my '75 Camaro.
