This install guide for the GM carbon fiber spoiler on a 5BW may be of some help.

Hard to tell from the pic, but it looks like it is a bolt that goes into a nut embedded in the spoiler. That sounds like a real pain to align with the existing holes compared to having the bolt in the spoiler that is secured with a nut. Plus drilling the new holes on the edges becomes trickier...

I ran Goodyear Supercar 3R tires on my 5BW. I figured if they were good enough for the ZL1 1LE, then they were good enough for the 5BW. They were super sticky. Much grippier than regular MPSC2 tires. Probably more similar to the MPSC2R tires. This was my first track day with the 5BW so I do...

Congrats on the new V. Drift is the best color available in 2025-26. The only consistency in GM logistics is its inconsistency. The dealership that I bought from gets lots of CT5-V and Blackwings. With a high degree of confidence they said I would be waiting 2-3 months from start of...

One thing I noticed about the blue calipers is that they are the only ones with white logo/letters. The white stands out more than the black.

You can also lock using the myCadillac app on the phone or watch. I assume that sends a signal over the 5G network. The app/watch will tell you when the locking (or unlocking) process is complete.

Wait and get exactly what you want. The last 3 cars I have ordered have been 6-12 month waits. Waiting sucks but years later when I have exactly what I wanted, I am glad I waited. Pass the marshmallow test!

Red and green are complimentary colors meaning they provide the strongest contrast. That is why it is a classic pairing (along with blue/orange and purple/yellow). I would go Typhoon with red calipers or Costal with blue calipers. In either case go with bronze wheels. I dislike black wheels...

You can turn on hotspot in the Wi-Fi section of the myCadillac app.

There is one new 2024 manual 5BW left that I am aware of. It is one of a very few that have 20th anniversary package. Offered for the low, low price dealer price of $194k after discounts. Operators are standing by...

What else do we need to call into question? He is probably not even that tall. 😛 Note that I still owe “tall” Steven for pointing me in Dustin’s direction. I picked my car from him last month.

If you do not want to worry about it as often, I can confirm a 1TB card works. Mine has not filled up yet enough to encounter the bug. Edit: Note I have a 2025. May be different for 22-24.

The Cup 2 on the 2019-20 GT350 (regular GT350, not the GT350R) were a FP (Ford Performance) specific compound that I found to last a bit longer than the regular Cup 2 tires. Same for the N (Porsche) spec tires. Cup 2 tread wear rating is 180. The Cup 2 R is 140. I am currently running the...

Put a piece of plywood on top and you have an ottoman in addition to an air freshener. EDIT: I like this idea so much I might start selling them. I will market them as ‘automans’.

If you do get both tires replaced, ask them to give you back the good one. Nice to have an extra tire if you get another flat a year or two from now.

I have only found the Green filters but they require oiling. Like you, I would love to find a reusable dry filter option.

I should have asked which EOS you meant as I recall running across a video on their spoiler when searching for an Exhibition of Speed install video on YouTube. If you do get their CF parts, please share pics and your thoughts. EDIT: here is the video from YouTube

FYI. Latest estimate for 25+ CT5 is mid-to-late July.

Multi-page thread on the EOS rear spoiler here: https://www.cadillacvnet.com/forums/threads/finally-ct5-v-blackwing-reproduction-spoilers.2488/ I have one and it looks good. Seems like high quality. I like that it is secured by bolts as I think just keeping it attached with tape is not a...
