    Jacking up your Blackwing

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    I used the 301 graphene coating on mine. I pulled the wheels one at a time and just left it on the jack since I wasn't going under it. I've since bought a bottle of Avalon King ceramic to do the carbon spoiler since I didn't want to take the car back to the detailer just for that. If I did it...

    Update installation

    I still can't get system updates (recall actually) on my car now. Like shbox it says conditions aren't right for it or some nonsense. It has updated in the past, 10/5/22. Ironically, that update was to allow the vehicle to continue to get over-the-air updates. It does claim it's up to date, but...

    4BW General Questions Thread

    Having the new front bumper painted for me was just under $500 from the local body shop. The trunk lid may be similar, but mine was drop off and pick-up, no installation.

    Tap Out CF Wing

    Removal is the biggest pain. You can see my details here: Carbon fiber PN database. Knowing what I know now, the removal still would have been an hour or so and a pain, but install would have been maybe 15-20 minutes. Do not pry on the trunk. Others have and it will dent easily.

    Tap Out CF Wing

    I held the Tapout right next to the OEM on their car, and it looked identical. I installed mine a couple weeks ago. Now I'm getting up the courage to install the new nose with the splitter and dive planes.

    2024 MY Cadillac CT4-V / CT5-V Blackwing - What's New!

    That 250 number confused me for months. All I saw were reviewers mentioning the 250 cars, not that the first 250 would be "special" and there would be as many built as they could supply.

    CT4 4BW Test drive impressions

    One little thing I miss about my GLI is the tight turning circle when parking.

    CT4-V What Don't You Like About Your CT4-V Blackwing

    I agree. I think the best part of a CT4 BW rear is the carbon spoiler. I liked the standard black but the carbon just looks like art.

    2024 MY Cadillac CT4-V / CT5-V Blackwing - What's New!

    I wonder why the carbon and standard splitter is separated out but none of the other carbon body pieces are? Is it now possible to order it outside the CF1 package? I think the rear spoiler would be most logical to order separately if that was the case.

    CT4 4BW Test drive impressions

    Similar with the Shadow Metallic. The sunlight in the metallic flakes gives various color hues that really look nice. But in photos it's just gray.

    Pics of your Blackwing in regular parking spots

    My first 1969 Camaro (used) had a three speed on the column...three on the tree. I very quickly converted to a floor shift. It was also green inside and out.

    CT4 4BW Test drive impressions

    It is a different feel from my old 2009 GLI. But I've gotten used to the Cadillac after selling the GLI several months ago. I think the 1-2 shift when cold has smoothed out a bit after 1500 miles.

    Carbon fiber PN database.

    I thought I'd pass on some lessons I learned installing the carbon rear spoiler. In this case, it was the Tapout repro version, but that's just incidental to the story. Removing the OEM spoiler was a pain. I thought the fishing line would work well, but once you get to the first stud things get...
