Welcome to the Cadillac V-Series Forums!

What did you do to your Blackwing today?

  • First oil change 2 days ago. I do it myself, as I have zero faith in the dealer. Easiest oil change ever, filter spun right off with the help of a husky strap wrench. Then, no filter spill with the form a funnel... best purchase ever!! https://www.amazon.com/Form-Funnel-...t=&hvlocphy=9006726&hvtargid=pla-493245967151
  • I installed the Fumoto drain valve on the oil pan, but removed it because I didnt feel like 4 threads had a good enough bite into the oil pan. I'm paranoid like that.
  • I pulled the rear badge and disassembled for the black frame style. I'll reassemble and install once its dry. Naturally, I snapped off the pins behind the badge during removal, so I backed the holes with masking tape and filled them with marine sealant.
  • Also blacked out the new "BLACKWING" badge and installed that. (plastidip to make sure I liked it, I'll redo it with paint another time)

Which quickjack frame do you have? I've got a regular 5000 series and always struggled to get my ats in the air. Haven't done an oil change myself yet or needed it in the air to see if I could reach jack points
 
Today I got the tapout spoiler and wheel deflectors installed. I honestly like the somewhat subtle look of cf1 without the dive planes, which is a good thing since I'd have to swap bumpers to make it happen haha. Spoiler was a bit of a pain thanks to adhesive and clips sbut it's on. I'll likely put install photos and tips in the cf thread in case anyone would find it useful

IRT Carbon Fiber mirror caps, I finally threw mine on a week ago. The driver side was a monumental pain in the butt. Nothing lined up quite right, and I had to trim stuff to make it fit. I broke the crap out of one of the mounts as well. The passenger side was perfect though.

Today, cars and coffee along with a handful of v-club members.

These pictures raise the question: who has the best looking 4BW on the forum and why is it @jonnywaffles11?
 
Picked her up from the detailer today! 😁
Monochrome badges, rear de-badge, Xpel tint (35), Xpel PPF and Ceramic.

Thinking ahead: black mirror caps, black roof wrap and a Tapout CF Wing...
