Highly recommend. Mine sits outside on the side of the garage. The nice thing about the Miata is it’s so small it can quickly be cleaned. And it’s not like it’s a $100K Porsche so who cares if it sits outside. I also average 35mpg.

This all reads shady to me. Are you an authorized retailer or distributor? Are you an employee of this company? Have you even spoken to the supplier about your intent and got their blessing? It reads like you are trying to leverage an opportunity to earn yourself money because you did some...

I’ve had the opposite experience with Carvana and dealers on trade in. I want to say my Focus RS I was offered ~$25K from Carvana and Vroom and ultimately traded it in to Mercedes dealer for ~$33K. When I traded in my AMG I was offered $48K from Carvana and got $51K from Cadillac. Maybe it’s...

I would definitely recommend the Alpins in a 265 on the rear if you can get them. That was my 1st choice but nothing available, and had to settle for the X Ice in a square 255 setup. It’s not enough tire for the car. When driving spiritedly (without being full throttle) on the 255 X Ice, it’s...

Not to rain on your parade but unless you also calculated the return trip those numbers aren’t really a good indicator as you mentioned it’s mostly downhill. I drove 75 highway miles all flat at about 85mph and averaged 22-23mpg. The car impresses in many areas but fuel economy is not one of...

That’s a good point about the functionality already existing. I honestly don’t know enough to confirm one way or the other. You might be able to just call Cadillac parts dept and ask them and see what they say. My hunch is the seats will be too big to fit. The 4 BW has a somewhat cramped interior.

Does your heat work?

I think you will have difficulty with functionality if it fits. There is a post I started on here about upgrading the base 4 seats and another member upgraded to the top tier 4 seats and did not have ventilation or massage functional with the upgraded seats, which makes sense as this is not in...

Lots of aftermarket air intakes are designed like this. It’s only open (for eye candy) when the hood is open. When the hood is closed it should be designed so that it seals against the hood like a closed box.

I owned a Focus RS for 5 years, great car. If it’s truly just fear of wear/tear and not something else, why not invest in paint protection film and ceramic coating? That solves the rain and nicks/scratches dilemma. Just a thought as the money you invest there would probably be a wash or offset...

Do you have the 4 or 5?

Yes, this should be well within their wheelhouse, but call them to confirm. Hell they might even install the exhaust for you if you ask them. I had them powder coat a big brake kit for my Miata and they also installed it, which is way more difficult than an exhaust. They also did PPF on my...

Cosmetics I use Aesthetic Styling in Naperville. Are you looking to have a custom exhaust fabricated or buy one and bolt it on?

Sent him a PM, thanks!

No, but those are tempting and nice find. Those are the top tier seats, mid tier looks similar but alcantara/cloth insert instead of leather. Looks like this:

I called Cadillac parts department and they said they can only order parts of the seats to assemble, which they won’t build a full seat and install it. They said my best bet was to find the mid-tier seats from a parted out 4 BW and it should just swap over. I posted in the wanted to buy section...

Hi All, Looking to buy the mid-tier bucket seats for a CT4V Blackwing. Called Cadillac and they said they don’t sell them and best bet would be to buy them from a parted out car.

Why not just buy a set of dedicated winter performance tires for the winter? You are doing yourself and your car a disservice by running all seasons, which won’t perform as well in the winter as a winter performance tire or as well as OEM in the summer. These are obviously high performance...

If you are interested in the manual and deciding between the two… get the manual. I owned manuals for 17 years, last year decided to get an automatic CLA 45 AMG and traded it in less than a year after ownership because I got bored with it. The Tremec 6 speed in the 4 Blackwing is fantastic...

Beat me to it!
