    Readily Available DIY Ceramic Coating?

    Are there any DIY ceramic coating products that are off the shelf from the auto parts store that are worth anything? I'll have the wheels off of my 4BW this weekend and I was going to give them a thorough clean and then ceramic coat them to help make all this infuriating brake dust easier to...

    Tapout Tuning - Facility/Team Review

    So while this might seem like an unconventional review since I don't have any physical part or mod to analyze, dissect, or expound upon, I'm very much of the opinion that giving credit where it is due is incredibly important. As such, I thought it was worth writing a brief review of my...

    Brake Dust is Terrible!

    So I know there's another thread about this that has agglomerated a lot of people's 'nits' about these cars, but in order to keep things more topic-focused, I was wondering if anyone knew any more detail on the brake pads that are on the CT4BW. I'm having to clean the wheels way more frequently...

    E-Brake: Do you need to turn it off?

    So in my manual 4BW, I've noticed that the parking brake automatically turns off if it detects the vehicle is starting to move under it's own power (meaning: applying throttle while in gear, forward or reverse). It's pretty obvious that it's designed to be that way, but is there any reason it...

    Squeaky suspension after rain... *Huge Facepalm*

    I've been enjoying the hell out of my new Blackwing over the past two weeks and just finally met my 500 mile break in period just in time for it to start raining for the next several days. I was mildly disappointed that I'm not going to be able to revel in the glory of full-redline acceleration...

    Mod Fail - CT4-V (non-BW) Spoiler on CT4-V BW

    When the Blackwing was initially announced, the pre-production models they were showing off all had body-matched spoilers for the non-Carbon Fiber packages. At some point during the roll out, this changed where the spoiler was painted piano black instead of the main body color. Thankfully, (or...

    Initial 250/500 Deposit Refund?

    For those of you in the initial 250/500, how is your dealer handling the deposit you put down on Feb 1st? My dealer is telling me that I will be receiving a refund of the $1000 deposit straight from GM shortly after I take delivery of the car. Is that what everyone else is being told too?

    Clear Corner Markers? Too Passe?

    So I haven't done a whole lot of car modifications in the past few years, but I've always been a bit irritated with the DOT's mandate to have amber lenses on the front corners of vehicles. Are clear corner markers something that's still done today, or does this scream "early-2000s-boy-racer"...

    Factory Service Manuals? (FSMs)

    Are the Factory Service Manuals for the base CT4-V available anywhere online? I'm looking for a drawing on what's behind the rear bumper cover, specifically the actual structural bumper (not the stylish painted piece). A picture would suffice as well, but despite all my googling, I can't seem...

    Non-black Black-wing?

    Someone posted a video of a red Blackwing coming out of a trailer recently that had a body color matched spoiler. Can anyone confirm if the CT4-V without any of the Carbon Fiber packages comes with a black spoiler or a color matched spoiler?

    Magneride 4.0 Sensitivity to Wheel Size Changes?

    Does anyone have any idea how friendly or unfriendly Magneride 4.0 is when doing wheel/tire size changes? Is everything OK as long as you maintain rolling diameter, or are we stuck with 18"s? Just curious what I'll be able to get away with without sacrificing the performance of the system as...

    Factory Line Locks?

    I should probably preface with *I know, I know...* line locks on a street car have no practical purpose other than hooliganism...I get it. I'm not advocating for irresponsible behavior in any way, but I seem to recall reading that the BW was coming some sort of setup for custom launch control...
