    Order new part from dealer or other vendor?

    Thanks all. Unfortunately, it's not just a scuff, it's a bit gouged so a replacement part would probably be the easiest option.

    Order new part from dealer or other vendor?

    ARGH. Been raining so haven't washed the car to note any blemishes over the last few weeks. Dealer says this is about $270 but service manager still hasn't texted the part number. What's the part number for a CT4V BW? Any place other than dealer that I can order? Any chance I can replace...

    CT4-V Blkwng - "Your order ... has not officially been accepted by GM at this time."

    I had a good experience w/ Tustin back in October. I purchased my mostly base 4BW MT at sticker. Saw it on Monday, flew down on Friday to pick it up and drive it back to the Bay Area.

    Random questions from a 2025 CT4 BW owner

    That’s a LOUD motor for a gas cap door

    Random questions from a 2025 CT4 BW owner

    Owner since last October, loving this thing, even when I have deal with shifting in traffic up a slight incline. Haven't spent a lot of time on downtown San Francisco hills. On the one occasion, I just hit the P button and let it release automatically when the light turned green. Still, I get...

    CT4-V CT4 V blackwing vs RS3 6 months later

    Yeah, unfortunately it developed a knock and I don't want to bother opening it up to realize it needs a new block. Hence, my path to the BW and here I am.

    CT4-V CT4 V blackwing vs RS3 6 months later

    I have a 2009 Miata Sport manual. It's close to perfect for a small, zippy manual. My only complaint as a 5' 6" driver, the clutch engagement feels unnecessarily long. It was longer than my 1968 Barracuda 5 speed Tremec.

    How the heck do I replace the battery!

    I had to jump my FJ the other week and I was puzzled under the hood. I had to go back home and look at the manual...

    Potential new CT4-V Blackwing owner, things to note on delivery?

    When I actually picked mine up, they had washed it and it was sitting in the handover room by itself. Looked great. And then I noticed what looked like a vertical dent on the rear passenger door. My salesguy couldn't see it and they had to bring it out to the service bay. It took a few staff...

    Potential new CT4-V Blackwing owner, things to note on delivery?

    Still loving the car. Haven't done much to the car outside of the Tuxmats, PPF and ceramic. I've washed it a few times and w/ the ceramic, it's pretty easy w/ Griot's ceramic wash. Still have to make my appointment for V academy. I'm also glad I pulled the trigger when I did. I haven't seen...

    *Help* Looking for a no BS dealer

    I also had a b* of time getting a BW in the Bay Area. They wouldn't even take an order. I lucked out and got mine from Tustin Cadillac. I HIGHLY recommend them. I bought a 2025 CT4V BW MT sight unseen at MSRP this past October. Did the deal over the phone and wired the money on a Wed...

    4BW Floor/trunk mats

    When I had my BW PPF/coated, the shop was working on both an Emira and RS6.

    4BW Floor/trunk mats

    RS6 AND CT5 BW? That is a nice garage.

    4BW Floor/trunk mats

    Sorry for not being clear. It’s my right heel that sometimes gets stuck. Clutch foot is fine. We have Tuxmat in our Tesla M3 and been happy. Wears well too

    I did PPF/ceramic a week after I picked it up. I drove about 500 miles back home. First time and I'm glad I did. Got a good deal because I took up a last minute cancellation slot. The ceramic code has a lifetime warranty as long as I bring it in yearly for a checkup. I took it in for a 2...
