Update #2. Successfully installed the second wing that Tapout gave me after I cracked the other one at their shop, and hung the cracked one as a trophy. As a reminder, I had to find weatherstripping for this. Pays to live near a McMaster-Carr. Used 1/4" foam rubber stripping on the forward of...

The OEM on the black stock spoiler are nylon nuts, but just inserted nylon. It's metal threads with a nylon locking ring

I'm not particularly concerned, but I would like to use nylon locknuts next time as well. I just ordered felt strips from McMaster, and that same dildo-wielding body guy said that because of where the crack is, filling it with black resin and re-clearing the wing will make the crack nearly...

The weird part is the nut never felt "tight". It felt snug for a few rotations, and I thought it was the spring washer flattening. Apparently not

I had the bumpers popped but this washer was larger than the opening, it was an anxious moment. And yes, if I learned anything here to tell future owners... LOCKTITE THE WING NUTS AND THE SECOND THEY FEEL SNUG STOP WRENCHING

Update on this for anyone interested still. Sent the car to my body guy, he released the wing with what I could describe as a vibrating spatula. Said the decklid was fine and I just received a wing that possibly curved out of the mould. Sent my car to Tapout for the Purple Belt. I asked if the...

Emailed GMPartsWarehouse and they said the part number has been replaced with this - 86543474 - but Cadillac hasn't released it yet, and so there's nothing until they do.

That is exactly what they do, yes

If anyone can help me confirm, part number I have is 85561509

Welp, one parts website after another have cancelled my wing order saying it's "discontinued". So maybe you can't get the 4VBW carbon wing. I'm just gonna pull this Tapout wing off and make it work if it kills me

I'm more interested in your diveplane retrofit! Would love to find the brackets without buying a bumper to return though

Taking this to a body shop to either have them work on the wing or the deck has certainly been an idea I had, but... I think I'm going to buy an OEM wing. At least then I'll have manufacturer warranty, and if the OEM wing doesn't fit on the deck, I'll have a stronger case to go back to the...

Yes, it's an entirely different shaped wing. It tracks further onto the decklid, has additional height, has the higher dovetails, and hangs off both sides

Unfortunately, Cadillac Accessories doesn't list the carbon wing. The 3rd party sites have it, but I'm always concerned to buy high-priced items from them

Well then that's certainly an avenue! Am I able to just get them from any GM third-party parts website?

As far as I know, Cadillac won't sell the carbon OEM wings if your build sheet doesn't have it listed. And I'm weary of putting my original wing back on now that the adhesive gasket has been disturbed. Also, I want a carbon wing for my car, going back to my original wing doesn't solve anything...

I own a '22 4V Blackwing without the carbon package. Ended up purchasing the front carbon splitter and carbon spoiler from Tapout, and have had nothing but problems with the spoiler. I need advice on what to do, it's driving me insane. To the point I actively do not want to drive my car. Want...
