What did you do to your Blackwing today?

[FoleyAMG]

Spent last weekend ceramic coating the new wheels for my winter setup. Planning on mounting them this weekend.

Man, those rims look great...who makes them...

Decided to give this OE replica front splitter a shot. Made by Anderson Composites. Great fitment and the carbon seems good. Good option for any 5BW owners that didn’t get the CF1 package. (Way cheaper than sourcing the OE splitter and side wickers as well).

Very nice. I saw them as an option but hadn't heard of anyone giving it a try yet. I am leaning towards them currently.

@FISH22 ....looks really good. Prices seem really good too. Lots of different CF parts (I googled Anderson Composites)

Price is really good. They offered a promo as well, which pretty much paid for shipping.

Really happy with it. I still have my Exhibitions of Speed front splitter, so I’m just debating which one I prefer. They each have their own personality.

I went with a wider-than-OEM set in brushed clear and could not be happier with them

Not really for my BW, but I identify as a Blackwing so figured I would post in this thread. The quality is commensurate with the price, its a nice.

That is a good looking vest. Just don't wear a vest enough to justify $110 though.

I stopped wearing vests as a kid, but then rediscovered them recently and I have to say I'm digging the sleeveless warmth.

Wore one today biking in the cold...

Vacuumed the interior and installed the Cadillac all weather mats. Pretty happy with how they look and fit.

Waiting for my local parts department to be open so I can get those. Mine came with the upgraded carpet ones. They're nice and all but I got dirty feet

Installed aftermarket trunk liner and puddle lights...with substantial help from my more nimble eldest son...

Looks like one could hide a body in there, quite nicely.

for aesthetics or noise reduction? We have a 5 BW and on throttle cruising at 80+ there is a constant drone or tire thrum throughout the cabin. To the point where the wife (she likes the car and drove at Spring Mountain) doesn't want to road trip in it anymore.

Wow thats too bad. No - no noise or drone....in fact wish it was louder...though like yours, my wife likes a quieter ride. I just did it for the looks...finishes out the trunk nicely.

I hear you. The carpet ones are pretty nice indeed, but it's a matter of time until they get dirty. Stored mine in the garage for the winter. Might put then back in the summer.

Yesterday on my 4BW I hard wired my radar detector and dual channel (front and rear) dash cam. The camera records when the car is off so I needed a switched power source and a constant battery power source.

There was no one source of information to find the power sources I needed in the inside fuse box of the car so I was able to piece together information and used the following fuse locations.

F31 slot for the switched power
F23 slot for the battery connection

New to me on this car was the three prong fuse, also known as a micro 3. I ordered some from Amazon and it made the job easy. There were no fuses already in the F 31 or F 23 slots.

For the five BW, I don’t think the fuse locations are exactly the same but someone could probably use this information to locate a suitable empty slot

@Roadhawk the liner looks super! That's the one shipped from China? How long did it take to arrive? Want to order one as well, but keep forgetting.

Thanks - yeah it really upgrades the trunk and is nice. I think it took about a month to arrive after I ordered it.

butyl tape on the floor boards make a noticeable difference. you will have to rip out your carpets and seats though
