    Best Upgrades 5BW

    What did you use for the V1 hardwire? Did you tap into the mirror or some other power source? I bought a Gen5DIY harness I plan to use with a Blendmount. I do not have the car yet to know it will work or how hard it is to install.

    CT5-V Pictures of Bare v CF1 v CF2

    There are vendors who sell replica CF pieces. So if you did get a bare BW and just wanted one or two pieces for cheaper than a full CF package. So you could go that route. For example, I did not want a CF front spoiler as I would destroy it getting into my driveway. But I like the CF rear...

    Good article that describes why your eyeballs treat a the image from a rear view camera different from a mirror. https://www.theautopian.com/digital-rearview-mirrors-are-garbage-and-i-can-explain-why-with-science/

    Precision Package Owners - How is it?

    Good question. I think the max rear camber goes from -1.6 to -2.0. I would think the min would be 0.4 diff as well. I just got the track alignment on my PP car. -2.8 both sides on the front. On the rear with the aluminum toe links, max on one side was -1.9 and the other -2.1

    Did OP ever tell us what was his decision? If feel like I have been left hanging. Hopefully this is not one of those ‘how do you keep an idiot in suspense’ posts.

    2025 CT5 & CT5-V Blackwing Order Support Guide

    Few changes for 2026. Parking package and Performance Data Recorder are now standard. If you have a manual, you get blind spot detection. That seems to be it. No new colors or other options.

    CT5BW Order- VIN 860574- Built May 8, 2025- Help w/ Shipping Expectations?

    Congrats! Yours is nearly the twin of mine. Visually only difference is I went with the base wheels. You would think the window sticker would be available as soon as you get the VIN, but I think it was about 3 weeks before it was generated. Hopefully they ship it quickly. It is a real crap...

    Order bank open date 2025 CT5V BW?

    GM published the official 2026 CT5-V order guide which includes the Blackwing. So they plan to make a 2026 CT5BW. Any statement to the contrary is just someone starting a rumor.

    CT5-V What don't you like about your CT5-V Blackwing?

    5 Spurs made metal ones for the S550 Mustang and other Fords. They were nice quality. I don’t think they make them for GM cars though. Might want to reach out them and see if they would be interested.

    CT5-V CT 5 Backwing tires

    285 in the front are fine. That is the std size for MPSC2R tires that come with the precision package. Can’t speak to 315 in the rear but I would imagine they would be fine if you are running the track alignment with the additional camber.

    You mean when they show the car with a manual transmission and two pedals, that is not correct‽

    Wheel Alignment - Review and tips

    I love a good alignment thread! I have a CT5BW with the Precision Package. Next week I am getting the dealer to do the track alignment. According to the owners manual, I can get -2.8 front and -2 rear with the Precision Package. Setting the toe to be minimal is the key to helping reduce tire...

    CT5-V What don't you like about your CT5-V Blackwing?

    I had a similar decision process. I ruled out greyscale and worked my way to DM after elimination of the other colors. I have not picked up the car so I have not seen it in person yet. But in pics, it seems to have too little metallic to make it interesting. I get a feeling I will have the...
