Anyplace else is at your risk. Don't use those large holes in the front or you could end up like this Jacking up your Blackwing
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...
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...
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

If you search Amazon you can get them a lot cheaper https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09PRDWDWG?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
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...
