The top picture is the standard piece that comes on the car from the factory, which is not what comes in the accessory cooling duct kit. I believe you need to remove the factory backing plate, which is why its not recommended for use on the street.

That kit is from my 2023. Looks like the part number might have been updated to GM Part # 84946140 https://parts.cadillac.com/

Even though there are a lot of bass boats in Kentucky, this one looks like a "regular" black raven to me. What a shame nonetheless.

I maintain a couple of German cars so something being a pain has never stopped me. I'm more curious if it's possible to fit one.

What about a remote clutch bleeder like the Katech piece for the 6th gen Camaro? Fully agree on the brake fluid exchange, it's probably the most neglected fluid on American cars. I go 3 years on my regular cars, 2 on the BW. Motive Products brake bleeder is one of the best DIY tools I have.

Getting an allocation will have you dreaming of your car for months. 8 months seems super goaty to me, why so long?

That car sounds like a beast! I'm not one to mod like that, but I think what you paid is a good deal. 850+ hp is 850 hp, sideways will happen regardless of transmission. Definitely going to be faster with the 10A. I'm all about the 6M, but I had the 10A at Spring Mountain and it's a great...

Agree with Dribs, its the same bones as a "regular" 4BW and the sticker kit really isn't adding anything. But, if my name Larry Sebring, I'd totally have one.

One bleed session will be enough to erase the code if air is in fact the issue. On the mess part, the key is not to put too much coolant in the funnel. If you're just trying to get the last bit of air out, that is maybe 1-2 oz at most. I mighty vac out the remaining amount before the dismount...

Did you bleed the system like @flipray suggested? It's easy to do and might be worth a try.

If you're referring to the "missing" material in the corners, I think that is how they are manufactured.

Searching the registry yields 64 Cyber yellow '23-'24 model years. I don't think it captures the entire production, but you get the idea that the polarizing and one year only colors are low volume. So, deep sea being limited to 200 isn't in and of itself all that unusual in our BW world. If...

200 of the exact same spec/color isn't very limited in the context of 5BW production.

How can they even make any money at $90? Is that the base price and then when you roll in with your BW is excluded and it's actually $300? It's still a time and competency deal for me. I know it's the right materials and quantities, and my car didn't fall off the rack or get hot...
