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.
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.

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.
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.
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...
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.
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.
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.
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...
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...
