I do agree that GM should have made a more aggressive looking hood instead of taking one from the Honda Accord bin.

I can only ask "why" ? The only thing I have done and probably will ever do to my BW is tint the windows and add PPF. She is perfect , just the way she came off the showroom floor !

I went to the Long Island Tobay Beach car Show yesterday. Probably the biggest car show on LI . They claim up to 1000 cars show up. I did not see 1 Blackwing. There were a few older "V" models present.

The spoilers are the distraction. The real thing is that foam padding !

I wasn't sure if I was going to do this, but I like it. I did have to buy a black gloss cover from Savage Cadillac to cover the antenna. (Which was a pain in the arse for the guy to loosen and then reattach.) The cover does leave a tiny gap on the bottom and around the camera that shows some...

I have been saying for years that our CT5 Blackwings look like a Honda Accord from the side view ! LOL ! The front hoods should have been made more aggressive looking too.

I live near the water (Atlantic Ocean) and sea gulls are notorious for dropping clams into the street , to break them open. Smart birds. Unfortunately, they don't give 2 shits on what the clam hits.

When I had my 1996 Impala SS, back in the day, I used to put a thin piece of plywood under the area where the child seat made contact with the leather seats. It displaced the imprint so that it wouldn't be a deep dent the leather.

They probably get a better kick back from Fidelity. I would ONLY buy from GMPP. That way there can be no nonsense if a claim is made.

Does the factory still leave those "tomahawks" in the trunk that are air deflectors for the brakes ?

I took my 22' 5BW into my wrap shop to get black gloss PPF installed on the roof. The installer called me today to say that there was "good news/ bad news". The bad news was that the PPF that was delivered had a blemish in the whole roll of material and can't be used. The good news was, that...

If you get it back (hopefully)... DO NOT put it into a dishwasher ! I still have mine but, heard it will not hold up to the heat cycle.

I don't care what anybody says. I have ALWAYS done a break in oil change on my new cars at about 1000-1500 miles. I used my free 1st oil change to do it. Its cheap insurance. Every engine builder that I have ever known does it too. My 2022 5BW/auto has only 6800 miles on her in just over 3...

I would definitely have some front end protection on a drive from Texas to Arizona. You don't want to be getting stone chips and God knows what else, bouncing off your front end.

I bought some carbon fiber looking "stick on " parts that go around the radio, the interior door handles and cup holders. Bought them on Amazon.

I had my rockers, deck lid spoiler, front chin spoiler and a few other pieces wrapped in carbon fiber. Looks just like the real deal and saved me thousands of dollars and no worrying about possible damage to real carbon fiber. Did some interior parts in CF also.

I was going to buy a QJ and have decided against it. First, I don't even have a garage. I have bought a Harbor Freight 3ton hydraulic jack and 4 3ton jack stands. I did just recently use them to rotate my Jeep Grand Cherokee tires. It was a PITA because the Jeep was just high enough to not...

Good to know. I have an appointment to have my white 5BW installed with gloss black PPF on the roof only. The detailer told me that he will have to check to see how to remove the shark fin antenna. Some GM's have different ways of removing the antenna. He also said that PPF is a pain in the...

I must be getting really old. I bought my 22' 5BW and will do absolutely nothing to it. To me , its perfect right out of the box. I have found in my years of owning cars.....the more you eff with them, the more headaches you get.

I just cold called a bunch of dealers and whoever sent me the lowest quote got my credit card. macMulkin said that they go for the volume , not the high prices that others charge. My local dealer wanted 2 grand more than everyone else. They got greedy and lost a sale.
