Replacing Chrome Emblems With GM Black Ones- Instruction Sheet Info.

[ResidentAlien]

Our new 2025 CT5-V Drift has the chrome emblems, but decided to give the black emblems a whirl. The "instruction sheet" that comes with the emblems is rather stupid. It points you to the emblem replacement instructions on the interwebs. I did a search and found no instruction sheet here on the forums. Doesn't mean one isn't there, it just never showed up.

Good thing is, it covers instructions for CT4 and CT5.

Got the emblem set for the non-BW under p/n 86559610. Includes 3 "V" badges, the "CT5" the black "AWD" emblem as well, if yours is so equipped. Does not have the "Blackwing" lettering underneath.

BW p/n for the set is 86596092 for reference.

Either of them list for 295 from the dealer, but try to get them from a dealer that will give you a discount.

It's not tough, although if you don't know the dimensions for some of it, you'll likey never get them completely right, depending on your trim level.

Anyway, here's the PDF instructions attached for anyone that's interested in doing a peel and stick DIY body trim-level emblem replacement plus the interwebs linky. The Cadillac shield emblem on the grille and center trunklid is another animal altogether. It says "Site Maintenance" for the link but trust me, it's the correct link. It's not a Rickroll.

I also have a Drift CT5. Please post pics with the black emblems. I was thinking the chrome looked fine but I am wondering if the black would look even better on a Drift car.

Will do, as soon as I can get a block of time to do it.

Thanks so much for taking the time to post up and share with all of us. I also have a drift metallic. Planning to leave the badges as is but it's a good option to have to switch over if anyone decides on the darker badges/emblems.
