Delivery checklist

[Davel518]

My EDD is this week, and I want to put together a checklist to send to my dealer. Hopefully this helps others as well. Let me know what else everyone can think of, or if you disagree with any of these.

Remove spacers
Do not install track only brake ducts
Include body color mirror covers (I selected the black mirror covers which is dealer installed, I asssume this means I should be provided with the removed body colored covers)
Do not drill front bumper
Do not wash (if going for ceramic/ppf)
No pinstripes, undercoatings, or any other add ons
No dealer badges

Let me know thoughts, thanks.

Hi Davel158,

Thanks for creating this list. For those of us who are not as informed, would you please elaborate on a few of these items.

Spacers: what exactly are you referring to? And how do we know they have been removed?

Track only brake ducts: how can we tell if these have been installed?

Thanks

Mac

There are spacers installed in the springs during shipping. Make sure they are removed. Bad to drive with them in. They are brightly colored. Hard to miss if you stick your head in the wheel well.

You only install the brake ducts prior to a track day. You don't normally leave them on for DD. You can, it just tends to throw more debris at the rotor.

Spacer thread with pictures installed and stowed in trunk located here (TLDR: look for bright yellow or red rubber blocks on springs in front wheel wells - you'll know them when you see them)

Front Spring Spacers for Towing

I saw this in the manual as well. Are there spacers included in the junk in the trunk, or is the dealer supposed to give us the spacers that ship with the car?

Brake duct thread located here. (TLDR: the optional carbon ceramic brakes do not have ducts)

Brake ducts missing?

@Mirza Grebovic does this look right for a 5BW with CCBs? There were no extra brake parts in the trunk and the dealer claims they installed everything that came with the car but I see no rear brake ducting.

Resurrecting an old thread - do the brake ducts and spring spacers apply to the ct4 Blackwings as well?

Yes, spring spacers remove and put in trunk. Brake ducts stay in bag in trunk and they install front wheel well stone guards that you can see from the exterior.

I spoke to my sales guy today. I mentioned the "dont wash it, dont scratch it" tip. He said he knows. They dont send Escalades or BlackWings through the automated wash. Instead they get hand washed by an actual detailer.

I mentioned spacers to the salesman and he didn’t say I was crazy but may as well have. But he said he’ll save them even though he doesn’t feel it’s needed.

He also confirmed they hand wash the BWs and will do so when I bring it in for service (just have to ask for it).

Manually installed scratches instead of automatic, ha
