    Patch this tire or replace?

    Several of us got screwed. I got nailed.

    Upcoming 11 hr drive in 5BW through cold and some rain. Thoughts?

    Those may be exact copies, but the silver ones I got at the auto parts store weren't. I got a full set of new ones with the TPMS for my second wheel set so I swap over one of the OEM caps when I switch wheels/tires for the season. I recommend taking off all the caps and putting them in your...

    Upcoming 11 hr drive in 5BW through cold and some rain. Thoughts?

    It took 5 weeks to get my first tire nail. Left rear. The tire store lost my valve stem cap.

    Dealer says my 2023 CT4-V B/W with 14K miles needs rear break pads replaced? I love this car and a pretty gentle driver.

    I think the stock pads have electronic sensors now instead of just the metal audible indicator of yore.

    Does anyone have pics of a 4BW with the 1 piece front splitter without the dive planes/canards?

    You can look at what Jonnywaffles11 and Metal4all6 have done starting here Carbon fiber PN database. and going on for several pages. I ended up doing the dive planes myself, but they both stopped without adding them. I ended up using OEM for all the front parts and Tapout rear spoiler. Tapout...

    Upcoming 11 hr drive in 5BW through cold and some rain. Thoughts?

    The thought of driving in colder temps on the 4Ss would concern me too. But then you see the images of all those cars in the factory holding lots in Michigan during the winter, and they are driven onto the transporters and then even at the northern dealers. So just moving them around probably...

    Concave/Deep Dish wheels

    Either satin chrome or graphite would look good. If it was me, I'd likely go with gray graphite. I think the silver really makes the wheels stand out which you may or may not like. The gray blends in a little better IMO. Also, the inevitable brake dust may be less noticeable on gray. I found...

    The Blackwing Spotting Thread

    The Michigan dealers seemed to have decent inventory back in the days of constraint.

    CT4-V Possible to add High Performance steering wheel later?

    Maybe check with these guys to see if it really is plug and play from the base steering wheel. If it is, the factory wheel may be the same. CUSTOM STEERING WHEEL for CADILLAC CT5 - V BLACKWING 2020+

    CT4-V CT4 V blackwing vs RS3 6 months later

    The 2025 GTI will drop the manual, but the 2025 Jetta GLI still has it. I liked my 2009 GLI. It was almost pure GTI in sedan form for that time period. I think the later ones had less GTI parts, or at least previous gen parts. My BW replaced it.

    Blackwing Option Rarity Estimates?

    Yeah, I missed the sunroof too (even though it's listed). The images didn't show it except for one you can see it slightly. I think the card slot would be an indicator for PDR, but I haven't seen one without to verify. I'm guessing it's a solid block-off if it's not there.

    Blackwing Option Rarity Estimates?

    I just did a search on cars.com and there are maybe 2 (White & Rift) ones that could meet your criteria. The last one (Rift, autosavy Ft Worth) probably has the PDR because it shows the card slot. https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/39754561-b7ec-4416-8dd9-ee42fd2fb180/...

    Blackwing Option Rarity Estimates?

    I tucked away my middle belt. No one will ever use it anyway. As a bonus that keeps the remaining belts symmetric for the true OCD sufferers.

    Picked up a 2025 CT4-V Blackwing

    Sounds like a Tapout Blue Belt package would do the trick... BTW, I've posted some tips on installing the dive planes on a non-CF1 car here Carbon fiber PN database. and Carbon fiber PN database.

    TPMS sensor part #?

    Those are the numbers I purchased from GM Parts Giant for the Apex wheels for my winter tires. They are identical to the ones on the stock wheels, and they work automatically with no setup or learning that's noticeable. So can confirm these for the '22 4BW.

    Conti Extreme Contact dws06 plus vs. Michelin Pilot Sport all season 4 ?

    They do have them. piranha971 pointed out you have to search for size not vehicle. Ridiculous that the results when searching for the car say "not available in that size"
