    Pics of your Blackwing in regular parking spots

    Coming out of SEATAC to this beauty being parked, waiting for me across the sky bridge. Can confirm: did in fact scare the late 20's couple that was behind the car upon startup. The thing roars inside parking garages, worth the $7 parking just for that alone.

    CT5-V K&N Looking for donor car various parts.

    Idle hands are the devil's workshop (or in this case idle hands are expensive). The vehicle has been available for nearly two years at this point, so it makes sense that they are only now getting around to it. I'm guessing they have a lull in their R&D time and they are looking to fill it with...

    I'm going crazy, where is the Engine Build Plaque thread?

    Not sure if this is what you mean: CT5-V Registry Bottom of page has engine builders. Although not 100% updated nor does it have my builder's name: Amie Taylor.

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    I too ordered a carbon fiber one from China (Amazon though, as i trust their return process more). Came completely cracked and didn't meet expectations. Also, like almost all the aftermarket ones, the edge wraps around the trunk further than the OEM one (which i don't think looks the best). I...

    CT5-V What don't you like about your CT5-V Blackwing?

    1. Hold ignition button for 5 seconds without touching brake or clutch. Car will go into ‘ignition on’ allowing you to change everything as though the car was running. 2. My ‘My Mode’ is set to stealth. I leave daily at 0510 and start the car in the garage while the wife is still asleep. 3...

    CT5-V K&N Looking for donor car various parts.

    I emailed him as I am up in the PNW. Figured I would give it a shot. However, he responded and wanted someone local or for me to drive it down. Definitely no offer to ship or cover a rental...

    Site Update: Official Cadillac CT4-V and CT5-V Blackwing Registry

    Because I thought you would care and definitely not because I am anal... CT5 V BW Registry: -When sorting the Exterior Color table by model year (especially 2023) it does not seem to sort properly -The additional options table seems to have the all weather mats MSRP in place of the quantity...

    CT5 BW Rev Match

    I'm frugal and this is strictly from a maximize MPG when just cruising: While going downhill or coasting to a stop, there will always be a gear that provides best fuel efficiency to coast to a stop in. This is only AMPLIFIED with a 1.7L supercharger mounted on top of a 6.2L V8. The...

    CT5-V Dash Cam Hardwire

    Thanks! It works for me :) I’ve never personally invested in a detector for reasons others have mentioned. I figure if I ever get pulled over for ‘go to jail’ speeds, that’s my fault. I like the insurance policy of having the GPS speed watermark and in-cabin recording. If some cop ever tries...

    Let's play a game.... Winners Get a Blackwing Badge....... 🏁

    Following the economic meltdown of 2030, GM once again faced bankruptcy filings. In hopes of future success, GM continued to pour funds into what would be one of the greatest economic failures of the 21st century, electified vehicles. Cadillac, GM's electric brand, was cornered into divestiture...

    CT5-V Dash Cam Hardwire

    Thought I would share my dash camera hardwire experience, as this is something I do in all of my cars and there weren’t many details out there on this car: What did I use (tried to link them to an Amazon page for reference, but it is not an affiliate link at all): Camera: VAVA Dual Facing Dash...

    Carbon Fiber Steering Wheel

    I would direct message them through Instagram or Facebook. They have always been responsive to me during their business hours via those methods. Like I said mention I (@lt4_blackwing) sent you and they may give you a discount.

    Pics of your Blackwing in regular parking spots

    Decided to celebrate 500 miles with full front PPF and a nice joy ride on a sunny 25 degree cold PNW day.

    Xpel Ultimate Fusion

    original shop was 3M film. So i was hopeful that they would be professional with the install. new shop uses Stek. had never heard of them before. reviews seem to be positive though.

    Xpel Ultimate Fusion

    I did. luckily they used a plotter to do most of the cutting. So most of their trimming was done in places away from paint. like the wheel wells and hood where the ppf should (they did a shit job at it) wrap around. they had most of the alignment right, just dirt, hair, black stuff all behind...

    Xpel Ultimate Fusion

    I never paid for the PPF and had them remove it before i left their shop. The tint was paid for and after all the bubbles went away i could clearly see all the messed up spots and contamination in the film. I spoke with them and we agreed to a refund for that, but he never processed it. So i did...

    Xpel Ultimate Fusion

    Figure this is the right thread for this. BLUF: you get what you pay for with PPF. Dropped my car off at what i thought to be a reputable tint/PPF place. Contaminants were sprinkled throughout the PPF and window tint. I didn't end up paying for any of it because of how bad it was ($350 for the...
