first thing I did was repair the holes in the trunk left by the stock spoiler, then I painted the trunk and tinted the tails. I also got my hands on a set of extra chrome door trim and painted it "mat" black (LOL for those in the know..)

not likely, I would stick with some variation of silver, or go chrome..

Chrome would look best, I think. How's the fit of the SLP tips in the GXP diffuser?

BTW, that looks like a total hack job.


:lol: ;)

yeah chrome would look best... chrome CTS-V wheels =P~

the fit on the SLP's to the GXP diffuser is good, not quite as good as the stock, but you can hardly tell the difference.

is it a "hack job" cause I don't have downforce without my stock spoiler now? LMAO :laughing3:

Chrome wheels would look great too. I noticed you didn't tint the reflectors right above the tail pipes. Is that in the works?

What kept the stock spoiler holes sealed before? Or did you keep that on there yet with the other wing?

Looks good with the black window trim. Aren't all Caddy V-Series wheel 6-lug pieces?

I haven't looked at the STS-V, but the CTS-V is 5 lug. And they are nearly identical to G8 GXP wheels with minor spoke differences and wider rears.

The last CTS-V's have 6 lug wheels, IIRC. The new ones are 5.
