    Looking for touch up paint for tech bronze wheels

    I actually tried that metallic gold Sharpie trick on my tech bronze wheels and it works surprisingly well for small scuffs - just make sure to clean the area really good first.

    Looking for touch up paint for tech bronze wheels

    I scraped mine last year and ended up just taking it to a local wheel repair shop since I couldn't find the exact color match anywhere online.

    CT5-V 5BW tire wear running the track alignment on the street.. time for an in-between alignment?

    Yeah I'd go with a compromise alignment somewhere between street and track settings - maybe -1.8 to -2.0 degrees front camber instead of the full -2.5 since you're doing more street miles than track time.

    Media dumps

    Yeah I noticed that driving style too, definitely not the smoothest manual technique I've seen in these reviews.

    CT5-V CT5 Blackwing Oil potentially wrong?

    Yeah I've been doing my own oil changes on the BW just to avoid this exact situation - too many horror stories of dealers using whatever they have on the shelf.

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    Yeah those SD card tips are solid - learned that lesson the hard way with fake cards from Amazon that died on me after a few months.

    Dashboard Data

    You might have accidentally hit the stealth mode button - check your infotainment settings and look for a "stealth" or "minimize display" option to turn off.

    CT5-V 2025 CT5V BW battery dead, drivers manual key entry not functional

    Try the manual method from jwolf99 but make sure you're really pulling hard on the door handle while turning the key - sometimes those mechanisms get stiff when they haven't been used much.

    CT5-V Reset brake pad life sensor

    The brake pad sensor might have gotten damaged or is malfunctioning - I'd definitely have the dealer check it out since saying "no" should make that message go away and the front pad reading jumping to 0% sounds like a sensor issue rather than actual wear.

    CT5-V New '26 5BW: Some Annoyances

    That frequency exclusion trick for the V1 should definitely help with the Ka false alerts from the forward radar sensors.

    BW5 available

    That's a pretty steep price for a BW5 even with the manual transmission being rare - wonder if there's any wiggle room on that number.

    Carbon Fiber hood - is it worth it?

    Yeah, I guess so. I'm actually more worried about heat management now. Do the vents like on this 350z hood actually help to cool down the engine or are they mainly for feeding air into the intake? Mine is stock (not the open K&N style)

    Carbon Fiber hood - is it worth it?

    Hey everyone! So I've been eyeing carbon fiber hoods for my gen2 for a while now. I love the aggressive look, and I know there's some weight savings involved (I've heard anywhere from 20-40 lbs depending on the brand), but here's my dilemma... I'm about 95% street driving, maybe hit the track...

    New Ct4Bw

    Yeah that Tremec can be finicky when cold but once it warms up mine shifts much better - just gotta baby it those first few miles until the trans temp comes up.

    Dealers That Are Not Charging Above MSRP

    Yeah I can confirm Sewell in Dallas is legit MSRP only, bought my V there last year with no BS fees either.

    Spring Mountain Impressions

    Nice write-up man, those launch control times are pretty solid especially the 3.9!

    Tire Temperature Gauge - How much faith?

    Yeah I'd trust the gauge for tire warmup but like others said, cold pavement is still cold pavement regardless of what your tire temp shows.

    CT5-V STABILITRAK PROBLEM

    Sounds like it could be a bad injector like Comment 2 mentioned - that combo of rough idle and stabilitrak error is pretty common when the engine isn't running smooth.
