Hi everyone, wanted to share my Blackwing and some of the mods I've done to this 2022 model.
I bought this as a Certified Pre-Owned and actually drove from New York to Illinois to pick it up. It was the only one I could find with the exact interior I wanted, Carbon Fiber 1 & 2 Packages, and carbon ceramic brakes — and to be honest, it felt like a steal of a deal.
Mods & Upgrades:
I do have a carbon fiber flat-bottomed steering wheel on the way. And Cat-back Corsa is sitting in my living room until I mount it next week. Let me know what you guys think!

Mods & Upgrades:
- Stealth PPF with full paint correction and ceramic coating — went with a stealth look over the Rift Metallic which I absolutely love.
- Variant Forged Wheels in bronze — 285/35/19 front, 325/30/19 rear (Pilot Sport All Seasons) running 5mm spacers in the back. Im going to remove the spacers though because there is some rubbing on the outer fender. When I had these tires on the OEM rim there was no rubbing at all, I'm thinking the extra offset from the Variants was too much though.
- Ambient lighting installed. My PPF guy installed this kit and did a pretty great job. No wires showing at all! The kit was model specific and it actually replaced the steel/polished trim pieces which I thought was pretty cool. Didn't love the idea of a cheap Chinese lighting kit but it was the only option I found and was better quality than expected.
- Also added blacked-out emblems and carbon mirror caps to complete the exterior look.
