What did you do to your Blackwing today?

[Grainofsand]

Drove it to work and ran it through car wash, daily driver for me, not all that amused with it really. It’s a nice car but it’s underpowered to me, and the aftermarket support for them kinda sucks, a piggyback tune, Downpipes that throw a CEL not really impressed with the car after 90 days and 3000 miles……. Mine is stock and will be for sale in the next 90 days with about 6000 miles on it.

I haven't broken the 500 miles yet, so I don't know exactly how fast or slow the 4BW is. Is it really that slow?

Only in comparison to a 5. 474hp is pretty respectable.

So I'm undecided. Bought these covers, only $20 for the set. Will have to remove black plastic covers.

Ceramic coating yesterday!

Got my first good look at the underside. We can talk about interior materials and paint qualities, but the car looks as robust as ever where it matters most. Super impressed.

That is 100% GM fashion! Once you figure out that GM's durability testing/validation on engine/powertrain is insanely more robust than all other OEM's you will forget about the stupid plastic bit laden interior. Maintenance and ownerships costs are 100% better with GM than competition too. Drive the car and drive it for 5-8yrs and get back with me then the GM vehicle really outshines!

Gave her a much-needed bath after about 500 miles of driving yesterday! Then attempted to take some photos with the new camera. If anyone has any photography tips, I'm all ears!

Every time I look at the rear I feel like I'm missing something... the Carbon Spoiler. Might get one from Tapout and Team.

The regular spoiler would be fine if it were attached to a better-looking azz. Behold and weep.

Used the Blackwing as a roadside assistance vehicle. Swapped out my son's front brake line in a parking lot after his old one sprung a leak.

 

[FLYARMY]

That reminds me.....I need to order the rubber mat for the trunk.

It was a pun bc it's devoid of any badge flair

I detailed her. She's purdy when she's not dirty... which is everyday for a black car.

I changed out the winter air in my tires to the summer air.....

I changed out the winter air in my tires to the summer air.....

That's a good idea. You wouldn't want to drive around on that old, stale air. Or should I say, sit around?

After waiting 6 months, attached my custom license plate

See, you have skills despite what others on the forum have said.

With our current extreme Texas heat, your tires will run hotter with summer air
Damn it freaking hot lately!

This weekend I’ve been working on a pressure washer system Install in my garage. Using a AR630TSS pressure washer, CR Spotless filters, Coxreels, Prevost pipes and fittings. Should be finished next weekend. Pics coming soon.

All this effort for my Blackwing and she’s worth it. What a great car.

I left the winter air in my 5BW

I watched a YouTube video on it and said what the hell and gave it a try... The dealer wanted $300.00 to do it...

It has been hot as hell for sure!

Washed and waxed the car with Zaino. It's a black car so I saw a lot of blemishes and even added some swirls during the process

I need to get to work on a similar setup.
