    Cleaning this thing is a BITCH !!!

    I have a whole detail center set up on the side of my home. I have an electric awning to keep sunshine away, portable vacuum, 2000psi Greenworks electric pressure washer, hot/cold water connection w/ foam cannon and a 75' hose attached to a 30 gallon compressor in my basement. The hot water...

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    The foam cannons work great as long as you use the proper soap. I can cover my entire car after a minute and the soap stays on the panels long enough for me to go around the complete car with my long handle boars hair brush. Cuts my wash routine by 15-30 minutes per car . That is alot of time...

    A Race Driver Living His Dream

    I was watching this past weeks IMSA Race on TV. They mentioned a lawyer who had bought a Blackwing and took advantage of Spring Mountain. The instructors told him that he was an exceptional driver and was a natural talent for racing. He took this to heart and is now an IMSA race driver. It...

    CT5 Weathertech floor mats - FREE (GONE!)

    I actually have the Cadillac OEM rubber mats on top of my carpeted mats. I'm a bit OCD !

    Totaled?

    You should post your VIN #. This car will end up at a CoPart Auction and be sold for pennies on the dollar. Someone may be daring enough to win the high bid and attempt to repair the car and then try and sell it and get around the salvage title paperwork and "wash" the title. The unsuspecting...

    Totaled?

    We always told our customers , that these cars today are designed to crumble and dissipate the crash energy , so that you can survive. We were shown back in the early 80's, a high speed crash video. The car sustained a moderate front end hit. In the footage, you actually watch the car ripple...

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

    I have a huge Samsung 21Ultra. With the case it fits too tight sometimes. The rear view mirror in camera mode actually works better than the regular mirror at night. IMO.

    Totaled?

    ABSOLUTELY TOTALLED. Someone is going to salvage a great drivetrain, though. Once those airbags go off.....most insurance will total it. WTF was she doing !!!

    CT5-V Mini tubbing

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

    CT5-V Mini tubbing

    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 !

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    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.

    CT5-V Finally: CT5-V Blackwing Reproduction Spoilers

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

    Got my roof PPf'd

    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...

    Anderson Composites Type-SV Double Sided Carbon Fiber Hood for 2024 CT5-V BW

    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.

    4BW hood with carbon insert

    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.

    New blackwing with precision, toe links?

    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.

    GM Extended Warranty

    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.

    New blackwing with precision, toe links?

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

    The "easy" jobs.

    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...

    V Academy Water Bottle

    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.
