Need help on build!

[MattH]

Very thankful I found this forum, lots of great info.

I placed a order last week with my local Cadillac dealer. He said I was first on the list for a CT4 V Blackwing. They have one on the way from the initial launch.

I'm at 1100, so can still change the order.

I picked Rift Metallic, because that seems the closest to pearl white. My other option is Black Raven, but my Jeep SRT was black and while it looks amazing when clean, its just hard to maintain. This will be my daily driver.

Just looking to get some others opinions, esp people who have seen Rift in person.

My current build is Rift with the darker wheels and the default grey calipers. Im leaning toward adding the bronze calipers, but not sure if its clashing with the Rift paint. I feel like it looks/will look really good, but not sure.

Welcome to the goat rodeo!!! Rift was my second choice and it looks awesome in person so IMHO it's a good choice...I guess the only thing I would do is red calipers.. You will have plenty time to make changes and a lot of guys here to give an opinion.. Again, welcome!

Yeah I feel like the configurator isn't doing the color justice. If its more of a pearl white, which I believe it is, I think it will look great with bronze calipers, but its showing kind of tannish, which I think wouldn't look as good with bronze brakes.

Since you have seen Drift, is it like a pearl White or does it have more gray or silver hues. I'm liking it but not seeing it in person is tough choice,right now my order is Summit White with red calipers, stock wheels. If I change to Drift I would changes to Dark Android.

I chose Rift. I drove 75 miles to see one in person before I made that decision. It’s available on 2021 CT4-Vs & 2021 CT5-Vs. Check thru your nearby dealer’s inventory. If you find one, call 1st to confirm that it’s physically there.

How do you think bronze calipers will look on it?

Thanks, I have seen those but really tough to decide. My dealer said it looks almost white, and certain photos look like white as well. I guess one of those angle colors that change depending on view. I may change as those photos do have a good look.

I think that will look fine. I chose red calipers because I chose the Sky Cool Gray interior which has red accents.

Here’s a thread that I started regarding Rift with some real pics.

Rift Metallic

Is anyone considering Rift? Has anyone actually seen a car in Rift?
