From Grand Rapids Cars & Coffee (July 2023)

I think I saw a video of an unmodified auto 5BW pulling a 10.99 with slicks (I think). They changed the rear tires from stock, I do remember that.

This is great news for future buyers, plus @Terrance Sig also made some changes to the type of trim tape they are using on future spoilers as well. These two things should make the installation experience much better.

Nice finally someone can see if they fit on the threads. The official GM guide says you will need to drill 15mm holes for those. See attachment.

The manual does not do this.

Yes, I was going to. I had them on order for over a month and no movement. So I decided to move forward without them.

So, I finally finished the installation of my spoiler this weekend. I was hoping I would have some secret sauce for bolting down the outside future buyers to give you more confidence in doing this with exact tools and methods to easily install this. Unfortunately, that isn't exactly the case...

Alright thanks. Now to the hard part of trying to figure out how to tighten those outer bolts since my arms can't fit in there.

Okay so I drilled the holes and lay the spoiler on the car. Everything seems to fit nice except around the bend in the trunk on the front of both sides of the spoiler. Seems to be fine around the back. I heard how well this fit for everyone else and I am wondering if others had this experience...

Thanks, I plan on doing it next weekend.

2 were performance, but only 1 of those got back to me. Other was body shop. Honestly I was a bit surprised, maybe I should call around to a few other places, but I was trying to stick with places with the best reviews on Google.

I have been starting to research this more too, I have had my spoiler for awhile. Finally called some places to see about how much it would cost to just get it installed that way I wouldn't have to deal with any frustration myself. 2 of them refused to even do it without templates or at least...

Honestly demand is probably biggest factor. There aren't that many 5BW out there and owners are probably less likely to mod them over owners of straight up sports/muscle cars.

I am not saying it won't happen, I wouldn't be shocked either way, but I think people who seem so sure a refresh will happen may be surprised that it may not be worth it to bother for GM. Its not some foregone conclusion some people are making it out to be.

People keep saying there is a coming refresh with no actual evidence. Honestly I wouldn't be completely shocked if 2024 is the end of the line for the current Blackwings with only the CT5 and CT5-V receiving any kind of refresh after that. It really is going to depend on if GM thinks a refresh...

Looks much better than my original artist concept. :p @Terrance Sig you mentioned a long time ago when you started working on the spoiler that early adopters of the spoiler would get some priority to order the splitter first. Is this still true? I am pretty sure I was one of the first to order...

Would be nice if there was a visual or video guide for installing this.

You weren't kidding about it being more aggressive: 😄

Yeah some of these are probably sold. My dealer told me when I ordered mine that I may see it go up for sale on their site when the car shipped to them, because the system did this automatically. It indeed got listed on their site for weeks as "for sale" even though it wasn't.
