    The Blackwing Spotting Thread

    The top Shadow Metallic is mine. Lastgas is the Blaze Orange. Saw yours and the other 5 too. Sorry we didn't meet up, but there's no way to tell who's driving what in that crowd.

    I might go. I was at the MAG one a couple weeks ago with some of the other club guys.

    Steering wheel data plate

    I believe that is correct. it is the serial number, but the serial numbers for manuals and automatics are the same except for the VIN code for the transmission. That's why in the registry there are cars with the same VIN code like this:

    Real Carbon fiber shifter installed.

    See the note in the attached service manual process. That's the same note in every console related task involving the shifter. It's not much help, but I didn't find anything in my service manual documents that describes separating them.

    4BW damaged in transport shipping

    My magnet says it's not aluminum. OP, the dealer needs to fix it regardless, so see how it looks when it's done then decide. That's really just a cosmetic blemish, and if the repair is done properly and it looks good then keep it and save the grief of a new order. PDR might work. Here are a...

    Cadillac Will Continue Offering ICE Cars Beyond 2030 As All-Electric Plans Change

    At one point last year they had about 2 dozen BWs sitting on the lot, most with $3k discounts. When I was looking for mine at the end of the '22 model year, they had only one, an auto, and wanted $5k over MSRP.

    OEM 4BW Graphite replacement wheel - part numbers?

    And the TPMS nuts ($5 ea, 84413358 for TPMS 84977020, paid $132 for 4) . There could be third party alternatives to the TPMS others have mentioned.

    OEM 4BW Graphite replacement wheel - part numbers?

    Your numbers match my notes from last Fall when I was trying to order some. Unless they changed since then, they should all be correct, polished and satin.

    CT4-V FLOOR JACK LIFT GUIDE - 4BW

    Hoping not to create another one of those jacking debates, but the service manual does not list the pinch weld to be used for the rear on the 4BW. I've just used my jack with a large rubber cover to contact the suspension bracket with no problems.

    Help me fix my aftermarket carbon spoiler

    I checked that number 85561509 on a couple sites and it successfully added to the cart. Do they take the order but then respond it isn't available? gmpartswarehouse warns there is a 7-day factory lead time.
