What did you do to your Blackwing today?

[ernsteeng]

Out with the old, in with the new. 81-0205(2022) is out and replaced by 86-024(2025).

You will be washing the black car a lot more often.

I traded it for this…the 4BW is a Porsche of Pittsburgh if you want a nice drift metallic manual 4 BW with black interior, PDR, tech package and mid level seats. Not a single scratch on it. First service done and rear diff oil changed too. 7500 miles

I went a similar route. Didn't work out. The 911 didn't even make it a year.

Not my first rodeo with black and our climate doesn't help. The rift white I traded in would get washed only a couple times a year being it was a weekend cruiser. This will be the same. I was fortunate enough to make contact with the previous owner and got a little more info on the ceramic, PPF, and detail that was done prior to my ownership. Thank Jacob for taking care of her for me.

Definitely very different vehicles.

Swapped out the black wheels for the oem bronze I picked up from dealer.

I added my Savage Cadillac lower fender CF covers. One hour job in the 50* weather with a heat gun to make sure the 3M tape sticks. Compliments my CF wrapped rockers.

I’m still on the fence on it. That piece is the rear glass spoiler. I keep adding them to the cart but keep having commitment issues.

That spoiler looks like it belongs on a '96 Z26 Beretta and I love it.

Yeah, I agree. That color "orange"...looks like crap !

Savagecadillac CF overlays for the grill.
They're... alright. Fit isn't great around each corner which is where it needs to be as precise as possible. Had to replace the stock gray foam tape with 3m VHB since the gray stuff doesn't have enough strength to keep it conformed. Also the bottom piece has a tiny crack in the epoxy or something but it's pretty invisible unless you're right up on it. But there's significant bending/forming of the overlays in order for them to actually align wih the oem plastic.

I've got OEM side skirts coming and plan to get the oem front splitter when I see it pop up in stock Or maybe go with Anderson stuff since there's a good chance I'll scrape it at some point on accident.

I thought tank was 17 gallons! Wife says she felt it stumble as we pulled up to pump!

According to the manual, the tank is 17.5 gallons. You had a whole 0.309 gallons to go.

 

[FLYARMY]

You had about a 5 second burnout left in the tank ! I have come very close to that feeling too. I call it gas pump anxiety. Wondering if you will make it to the nearest gas station. Meanwhile, I drove my Jeep Grand Cherokee from NY to Baltimore and back on one tank of gas.

Ceramic coated the rims. Hopefully they'll actually get clean when washing the car.

(it was dark and I was exhausted by the time I finished, so no great after pictures)

I washed the car and it has been a little while since the last washing. The wheel coating doesn't seem to prevent the brake dust from collecting, but it makes to SO easy to clean off.

In the attached video, I'd hit all the wheels with a PH-neutral foam, let it dwell just long enough to coat all the wheels and washed it off with the pressure washer. Before I wiped them down, you can see there is _very_ little dust remaining after rinsing.

Totally worth the effort to put on the coating.

Reduced my insurance to comprehensive only. It's officially in winter storage.

My wife drives a Lucid Air that we use a lot, but my range anxiety is way worse in the BW. Spirited backcountry driving changes options awfully quickly.

 

[FLYARMY]

I have USAA and have been lowering my insurance coverage (deleting collision) while I put it in storage for 6 months every winter. Saves a nice chunk of my NY insurance payments.
