    CT5-V Strut Tower Bling

    My pleasure. They say imitation is the best form of flattery so I'm glad you want to steal the mod. Inexpensive, easy to do, and make noticeable changes are the best kind of mod.

    2025 CT5 BW - AKG Settings

    Hmmm. I have everything at the default settings and the audio sounds pretty good to me. Much better than the Bose 14 speaker system in my C8. Of the three vehicles I drive regularly, a '23 5BW, '21 C8 HTC, and '21 GMC Sierra, who would have thought the Sierra with the basic audio system...

    Blackwing Got a Temporary Roomate

    The Blackwing plate is my favorite as well. My wife drives a 2019 Blazer RS.

    Badge removal/replacement

    I've had the hawk02 username for 25+ years. Well before there was ever a Hawk Tuah girl.

    Badge removal/replacement

    My 5BW had all blacked-out emblems. I wanted just a tad more color so I replaced the front and rear emblems with black with colored center.

    Badge removal/replacement

    I just received the front and rear emblems for my 5BW from 404parts.com. Good price and received those emblems in about a week.

    Blackwing Got a Temporary Roomate

    Sorry, not Pilotis shoes. However, I do wear New Balance with white socks and shorts. Does that count? 😀

    Just paid over $100 for an OEM air filter

    I've installed a bunch of oiled filters over the years and never had a MAF issue. Although I will say I got a K&N filter one time that was so over-oiled there was oil sitting in the bottom of the plastic wrap it came in. I put the filter on paper towels and let it air out for a few days before...

    Just paid over $100 for an OEM air filter

    True. But having cleaned a few of them over the years, cleaning can be a PITA, especially when it comes to getting the right amount of oil on the filter. Toss and replace is much easier.

    Just paid over $100 for an OEM air filter

    You know, I've been a big Green Filter fan. I had one installed in my 2017 ZL1, my 2021 GMC Sierra 1500, and currently have one in my 5BW. I had an Attack Blue filter in my C8. Here recently, however, I've gone back to back to the paper OEM filter in my GMC and my C8, and I've got an OEM...

    Blackwing Got a Temporary Roomate

    The grey on my Cadillac is a wrap that was put on by the previous owner. The car's color is Raven black. The roof and trunk lid were not wrapped which gives it a unique two-tone effect. The color of my Corvette is Silver Flare Metallic which I just love. Very easy to maintain. Disappointed...

    Blackwing Got a Temporary Roomate

    LOL! My favorite is the shelf in front of the Corvette. Those boxes are all my wife's shoes! Two pairs on the top shelf are mine and the rest are hers. When she complains about all my tools, I just point at the shelving unit. 😎

    Blackwing Got a Temporary Roomate

    My wife is out of town for a few weeks so I put her SUV in the storage unit we rent and brought the C8 back to our garage. I always get a big smile on my face when the Blackwing and C8 are side by side because that doesn't happen very often. As soon as she gets back home, her SUV and the...

    What did you trade?

    Yes sir, I remember. I saw how Calloway cut out the bottom of the airbox in its Camaro builds. Thought I’d give it a try. I do find it interesting that the stock airbox on the CT5-V BW has an extra opening on the fender side of the box in addition to the snorkel opening.

    What did you trade?

    I traded a 2017 M6 Camaro ZL1 Coupe for a pre-owned 2023 M6 5BW and haven't looked back. I loved my ZL1. It was a show car and had received an All-American Sunday Award at Goodguys in 2022. The BW is just head and shoulders a better car.

    CT5-V Blacked out badges, colored centers..

    Replaced the front and rear totally black Cadillac emblems on my 5BW with the ones that are black with colored centers. The front was a piece of cake to install. The instructions that came with the emblems called for removing the entire front clip. I just stuck my finger in the grill openings...

    Summer tires in cold weather ?

    I've driven the PS4Ss in temps as low as 23 degrees. I wouldn't recommend doing it all the time but as long as you use common sense and drive within the speed limit you'll be fine. The tires will take some time to get heat in them so the ride will be rough until that happens.

    CT5-V Strut Tower Bling

    I added some "bling" to the strut towers on my 5BW to help hide the ugliness and dress it up a bit. If anyone is interested in duplicating, the strut covers are 2016-2024 Camaro Billet Aluminum and painted gloss black. The v emblems are Cadillac Center Wheel Cap Stickers Decals purchased from...
