    The Blackwing Spotting Thread

    White 4BW this morning coming off I-280 around Milbury/Woodville OH this morning - speak up now! First one I've seen in this area!

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    Replaced my cracked splitter with one I picked up from Tapout. As a mechanically-averse loser who can only handle the most basic of car maintenance, I decided against dropping $450 on Race Ramps and made my own from some leftover 2x10. My ramp design can definitely be improved, but it gave me...

    2025 CT4-V BLACKWING - PRICING

    I personally love it and am glad I was able to get both packages on my car, but some of it is so damn impractical :ROFLMAO: I drove to Tapout yesterday and picked up a replacement front splitter for my cracked one. Now I have to determine if I spend more money on Race Ramps or build my own so I...

    CT4 BW M6 Shift Knob Swap?

    I like the stock shifter but my alcantara is in rough shape despite efforts to clean & restore (I bought it used). I tend to cruise with my hand on the shifter and the feeling of pilled material is driving me nuts!

    CT4 BW M6 Shift Knob Swap?

    Anyone able to provide a step-by-step on how to remove the trim to access the torx screw? I'm going to switch my alcantara one to leather as it annoys the piss out of me.

    2025 CT4V Blackwing?

    Few reports out there claiming it will continue for 2025 with no changes.

    What did you all drive back in the day?

    Born and raised in the UK until I went to grad school here, so always used public transportation. Got my first car at age 25 in 2009 - an '07 Chevy Impala 1LT with 58,000 miles. I have to laugh at how much money I dumped into that thing to 'covert' it to an LTZ model... upgraded to the stock 18"...

    4BW Mileage

    Currently 19.6 average with a 70/30 split highway/city with 6MT. Numbers have jumped a bit since I got pulled over for the first time in 12 years last week 🙃

    New Owner CT4 BW

    I would agree with this as I'm two weeks into ownership of a used BW. I got Sonax and cleaned both the wheel and shifter last week, and the amount of scum it pulled off was disgusting. While it's cleaner and softer now, it really doesn't look that great. I think the 18 months of prior ownership...

    New Owner CT4 BW

    Absolute STUNNER. I picked up a used one this past weekend with a near-identical spec, but I envy the white with sky cool grey interior. You're going to love it, all I've done this week is clock watch til 5pm when I can drive mine again!

    CT4-V New Owner!

    Perrysburg, suburb of Toledo. Roads here aren't as nice as down there, I'm having to adjust my daily routes to avoid shitty pavement!

    CT4-V New Owner!

    Got the taillights replaced under warranty today, should have them in a couple of weeks. I'm going to take a risk on the Tapout splitter and also try my hand at some carbon fiber repair on the OEM one. This will likely be my DD for the foreseeable, so probably not a bad idea to have a backup for...

    CT4-V New Owner!

    I'm so glad I saw this because I spoke with Scott at Tapout this morning regarding the splitter and was going to order it tonight. I have the dive planes too, so if the color variance between those and the new splitter is significant that might be an issue. I'll take a look in the garage now to...

    CT4V BW PPF - who has done it, and what panels

    Yeah that was for hood, bumper cover, and rockers. I didn't talk CF1 which I'm sure would be a little more.

    CT4V BW PPF - who has done it, and what panels

    Has anyone used Premium Shield PPF? A shop near me just quoted $1,200 for the front end, and another $300 for the rockers. Another place quoted me $2,500 for Xpel doing front end and rockers.

    I've got that SD card coming today, and decided to order an OEM Blackwing badge through Wildhammer Sports. Appreciate your help!

    CT4-V New Owner!

    Delighted to join the club, picked up a 2022 BW 6MT today! Decided to go used as this was equipped with every option I wanted, including CF1 and 2. Plus the wife is getting new wheels in a couple of months so it made the most sense financially. I did have a few questions I was hoping to get...

    2025 CT4V Blackwing?

    Do you mind sharing what the rate options were? I had a deal fall through late last year and am still in the market.

    Thoughts on this 4BW Deal

    Agreed, I won't have them put that on. And yeah enclosed shipping was definitely not on my list, but it's slim pickins around this area for new inventory.

    Thoughts on this 4BW Deal

    Well, a trip to a dealer last week to purchase a work vehicle lead to me test driving an A10 4BW and now I'm seriously thinking of fast tracking my purchase. The plan was to buy one in late 2024/early 2025 to coincide with my daughter getting her temps when she takes my current car, but I don't...
