How many BW's have been built?
How many of them didn't get the CF they wanted?
How many would jump on an aftermarket?
Question #1 has me wondering if the initial work would actually pay off for an aftermarket group to make.

I would definitely jump on an aftermarket spoiler.

here is an option someone on the forum has https://savagecadillac.com/shop/ols/products/cadillac-ct5-2020-2022-gloss-black-blackwing-spoiler

I would also pay a premium for an OEM fit and finish rear spoiler.

Rear Spoilers are probably some the easiest pieces to make. I bet aftermarket offerings will be pretty close.

I'm buying the car for me. The size and power is just right. 5BW is too excessive for me. I'm coming from a GT350, which I was perfectly happy and content with for many years. GT500 doesn't interest me because I don't track my cars, and there's no where sane to use that power. $30k savings is nothing to scoff at either. I know there's people out there that are buying it just for the sake of buying it because it exists above the 4BW and they can't have anything less.

Having owned both GT 350’s in GT500s, the GT 350 is the track car, not the GT500. That’s always been the history and the difference between the two versions.

I bought the black wing for for the same reasons. I know the five is the special one but the IV works just fine!

My point is that there are a few here such as yourself. I've read a number of posts here from folks that don't like the CF. I just feel that the aftermarket groups would struggle to profit due to low volume.

Funny enough, the wifey convinced me on orange. Going from rift with bronze wheels to blaze orange with black wheels. I'm thinking blue brake calipers. There's a lack of Blackwing distinction on these cars so I think the bright, and awesome orange color will help make the car pop a bit more. Hence toning down the visuals on the wheels and letting the paint do most of the work.

How do you like the orange in person? Ive basically only ever had muted colors: black, white, and gray so this is definitely out of my comfort zone color-wise. I'm always worried about the cops attention too. Theyve never caught me on a speeding ticket in the Shelby but they definitely will get me on illegal tints and no front plates if they wanted to. Which they did, and can in the future with the 4BW if I can get my hands on one.

That actually looks good.

I got Blaze Orange as well, haven't seen it in person yet though. I'm sure I'll love it, but I'm partial to orange. My 19 Shelby is Orange Fury.

I will say there's not one single bad color on a Shelby, except Black only because it hides all the beautiful lines of the car.

Do you have an ETA of your car?

 

[Kimkeys99]

I just ordered it. Hopefully after I get off the goat rodeo and my BW arrives, I’ll have it installed. The sides that go down the trunk are different from the factory CF one.

I am an orange boy here.

I hope I don't affend anyone here, but being a bit of a snooty designer, the orange just doesn't play nice with the caliper color options.

They compete with the color too much. The standard GRAY is what I went with as it doesn't compete in tone and value. The Bronze is in the family of the orange and so is the red. The closest to working is the Bronze to my eye, but still competed with the Orange while the Gray just dies back. The Blue makes no sense to me with the orange.

Never been a Jeff Gordon fan I take it.

I can respect that. In my eyes, blue does work. I don't want gray colored brakes as that's what I had on the GT350, and looks too... regular. I'm leaning towards red however since I might as well match it with the red seat belts and the $500 steering wheel with the red loop/line whatever they call at top dead center, also the red colored key fob looks great.

But like you said, none of the colors truly work well with orange. Damned if you do, damned if you don't situation.

I did the red belts and red striped wheel for some color on the inside too.

The Orange does so much of the heavy lifting for the wow factor. I did miss the contrast color on the key so I ordered a good matching metallic orange Vinyl to put on the key.

My other car has a custom mixed orange color on the Brembos that I also sprayed on the valve cover.

The blue brakes are badass. I went Rift with blue calipers AND red belts/steering wheel ring. Murica!

The Blue brakes on most other colors is awesome. Just not feeling it on an Blaze Orange car.

My incoming 5V is very much the same. I changed from red to blue on the calipers kinda because red seems to be so cliche' anymore (though it still looks good).

The reviews that are up on YouTube with the orange car has blue brakes, it might not be in the same color family, but in my opinion it does work. I haven't seen a blasphemous combo yet,
