Welcome to the Cadillac V-Series Forums!

What did you do to your Blackwing today?

How long did it take? I like the look.
Post Collision Specialists - L&D Solutions Inc. and they got a deal going 15% off first orders.

The removal process (in a 5BW) for the fronts, pretty easy except figuring out how to remove the seat belt pretensioner sensor plug (service manual doesn't mentioned anything about it).

Two orange tabs on each side of the plug, pulls those back (they’re under tension and small so either use picks or finger nails), then unplug the plug. Orange arrows point to the orange tabs.

The rears, however, required removing the rear bench, side bolsters, rear deck trim, rear corner trims. No pretensioner or sensor wiring on the rears. Removal, took about 3hrs or so... took my time on removing trim/cushions. Installing took about 1hr.

I picked it up from the dealership and drove it for about forty minutes before dropping it off to have it coated in Kavaca Ceramic Pro PPF. It is pretty hard to part from it immediately after finally getting key/ownership of it, but I know it’s for the best. They’re gonna buff out the paint to get rid of the factory imperfections and set me up with a beautifully wrapped/tinted vehicle.

Didn’t have the dealership wash it or anything… the PPF shop owner said he’s seen dealerships just wreck a brand new paint job with improper washing (either running it through a machine or a quick once over out back). I can’t wait to see what it looks like once it’s finished next week.

That's another beauty of these cars. So many awesome colors....Infrared, Radiant Red, Wave, Coastal Blue, Shadow, Deep Space, Blaze Orange, BDT just to name a few. They all look SO good in the sun and with the body lines of the car.
