Rear Splash/Rock Guard Installation on CT5 BW

[PrimeTime]

Since my rockers and the valance is gloss, Id like to find the gloss black if I could and try and stay similar. Or maybe paint to match? I actually like the guards on the car. Not much for the 5BW out there for this. Thanx for the lead.

For anyone on the fence about ordering The Original Carbon Guards for the CT4, here are some pictures. Install was a bit nerve wracking because of the double sided tape and how sticky it was once it was tacked, but I really like the overall look of them with both the front and rear installed. My only complaint is that the edges aren't really sealed, so they look matte and unfinished. However, normal people just looking at the car probably wouldn't even notice. I also included a picture of the black plastic fronts that came installed from the factory for comparison.

Did not realize the OEM front wheel guard was so pronounced on the 4's. On my 5 just looks like edge trim.

How close were the holes? I just ordered a set, seen some chips on the door handle from the front tire kicking rocks up and also the bottom of the rear bumper/CF diffuser. Hopefully this would help alleviate it some.

Interested in these; the ones I bought from Amazon for $30 are annoying me as they seem to pocket snow instead of letting it slide off. Any close up images of how they are installed? Original hardware uses? Not sure how I feel about double sided tape holding up to Michigan snow/winters.

Anyone find any that look decent & woork well? WIth the tire setup I have, the tire sticks out more than OEM & I'm concerned about getting the paint/fender behind the wheel.

Thanks but they seem to be only for the CT5-V. GM sells a similar item & it only fits the CT5-V & not the BW. Concerned it might be the same for the ones you linked. They are also for the front.

Sorry, but I should have clarified in my original post that I'm looking for options for the rear.

ZL1 ADDONS from previous caddy CTSV, I made them work. Looks fine better than the alternative which is nothing!

Hi, did the holes line up exactly for the 5-BW?
Or did it require re-drilling on the rock guard?

I'm interested in purchasing L1 Add-Ons for the 16-19 CTS-V (Cadillac 16-19 CTS/CTS-V Standard Rock Guards) as long as it fits the 5-BW without re-drilling.

Lastly, any more pictures of the fronts and rears from both the view inside the wheel well and on the side you could share?

Watching.

Need to drill one hole front into plastic rock guard easily replaced not expensive. Some of the holes in the mudflaps work, but you’ll have to line them up with existing screws and drill holes in them.

Those CF rockers look really good up close. Nice clean install, think I'll order a set and see.

I PPF the edge already on the rears with some leftover pieces, I'm thinking these will give me a little more coverage back there and they look decent IMO... Thank you.

Sorry, just to clarify:

• You're using the "ZL1 Addons" Cadillac 16-19 CTS/CTS-V Standard Rock Guards (Cadillac 16-19 CTS/CTS-V Standard Rock Guards
• For both the front or rear rock guards, did they come pre-drilled with holes?
• If the rock guards came pre-drilled, did the holes line up with the existing 5-BW screw locations, or did you have to drill into the 5-BW fender?

Thanks in advance for the clarifications.

Some holes work, others you have to drill new ones in flap to match up to car. Had to drill 1 hole for front ones in stock plastic rock guard which can easily be replaced.
