    CT5-V 5BW new tire time - discussion

    Wow man! Thanks for sharing. That garage looks like a bedroom with cars in it… I mean I’ve seen apartments less nice than that! I can appreciate any advice from someone so obviously experienced. It makes me more confident in my decision to get another set of wheels and tires. Good looking out. 🤙🏽

    2025 Surround Vision Recorder switched to USB?

    I got the parking package specifically for the air filter. Here in California the wildfire smoke can be real bad. I also wanted cameras to ensure I don’t scrape this beauty on any curbs when parking.

    2025 Surround Vision Recorder switched to USB?

    That’s dope. It’s in the trunk right? I seem to recall reading about it, but thought it only worked if you had the performance package with the PDR.

    Damn bruh… what kind of heat are you talking about in the garage. I’ve never had to do that or even consider it because I’ve never driven on high performance tires in any of my vehicles. I’ve got a propane heater kind like the ones used in outdoor seating for restaurants. I can’t imagine having...

    Badge removal/replacement

    I got the first pictures of it in the process. It should be done Thursday, and sadly enough I won’t be able to pick it up until Monday. The wife wants me to come back down to the Bay to take care of the dogs and go to see our nephew on his birthday. Really she just doesn’t want me hanging out up...

    2025 Surround Vision Recorder switched to USB?

    I’ll have to play around with it when I get it out of the Detail/PPF place on Monday. I hadn’t even driven it 40 miles before bringing it in to be wrapped up. I’m half sure that I have the surround vision too.

    CT5-V PPF / Ceramic Coating Recommendation

    My full wrap including paint correction and all the windows tinted was/is $5600… so you’re in the right ballpark. I just went full package with the expensive shit.

    I’ve heard both sides. Some have had their tires crack or blow the sidewall… others have had zero issues, so I just figured it’s better to be safe than sorry. I’ll change my wheels twice a year. Only positive thing of the car not coming with the wheel package I wanted.

    I thought most if not all of that comes along with the parking package.

    Case in point: it was 38F driving over the Donner Summit just now. Gotta have tires that are safe at these temperatures. 🤷🏽‍♂️

    CT5-V PPF / Ceramic Coating Recommendation

    Also WTF? They didn’t even ask if they could paint your ish?!? I’d tell em they just coated my car for free unless they want to repaint my car… and I’d be happy to get 33% off but don’t tell them that!

    CT5-V PPF / Ceramic Coating Recommendation

    My thoughts on it are, if I just dropped 125k on a car in cash what’s another $5600? If it means my paint stays protected like new for the next decade then it’s money well spent IMO. Refresh is where they go over it to see where it needs to be decorated in their special ionic coating or...

    2025 Surround Vision Recorder switched to USB?

    Correct me if I’m wrong, which means I’m corrected a lot, but isn’t the PDR package required for the surround recoding? If it isn’t why the F did I buy a dash/rear camera?!

    CT5-V PPF / Ceramic Coating Recommendation

    Kavaca is. Ceramic infused PPF, and if you get the good stuff they coat it over with some kind of top coat to boot. It’s pricey, and they only allow certain shops to sell it, and then there’s some shops that are considered elite that have done extensive training and only sell Kavaca. It takes...

    Noob-ish question on 5BW Oil Consumption

    Was planning the first oil change at around 700 and another at 1500… I thought that’s what I read in the manual, but I’ll have to double check. Good to know not everyone is having the oil consumption issue. 🤙🏽
