CT5-V 2024s out with BW badges on the front fenders

Hmmm, feels a little "heavy" with that on the fender.

I see it has the dealer stock order package: Black with A10 and sunroof.

I actually put blacked out badges on my front fenders

My '22 has the same. The model is a V Blackwing so having a V badge w/o 'Blackwing' is inconsistent.

Tell us about the process you used. I like that better than the available black ones which have no color at all.

The main badge was painted black and then my detailer hand painted the letters white. @jwolf99 has a process he used at home which came out nice on his car.

Those that know, know. The rest, who cares, they will only see smoke in front of them.

The badge debate can go on, I like 0 Blackwing labels on my car and it will stay that way.

More interested to see the gas guzzler fee is not added as an option on this one... I thought someone posted a sticker where it was a separate line item. Maybe the $1700 bumped the SVP up on 24s compared to 23s.

I ended up debading the whole car. Once the PPF was installed I liked the look with no badging so decided to leave it all off

Here's the post

What did you do to your Blackwing today?

Badges and tinted lens and center caps, oh my! :cool:

With my Chevy SS, which was also kind of a sleeper car, I got tired of people (guys) coming up to me in parking lots and wanting to talk about the car. I'm social, but not that social, ya know? And it's never chicks, always dudes.

So, anyway, I took off the badges (they're just held on with tape) and then the Chevy badge just looked too big, so I took that off the trunk as well. That's got pins, which are off-center, so it really looked stupid. I bought a couple of plastic plugs to keep out the water. Still, real car guys knew what it was and still bothered me about it.

I'll probably have the same problem with the BW. Maybe I'll just tell them that it's the wife's car, and I have no idea what it is. LOL

That doesn’t sound like a good reason to debadge the car. - Because of other people and not because of what you want. Set boundaries! If you don’t want to talk to someone tell them your not able to talk right now.

Do you have your car yet?

You guys are lucky because no one ever wants to talk with me, strange and I don't know why...

Not yet. Shipping was delayed by the holiday weekend. Or so they said.
