Not terribly scenic, but it's the first time I've had a clean car out in daylight and had a camera handy in a looong time.

And yes, the front fender doesn't quite match in color. The car was in some sort of accident before I owned it, and the paint match is off. It's actually not as noticeable in person, but whenever I take pics you can see it.
Looks good either way, chief.
The yellow calipers, did you get those from the guy on ebay who was selling yellows in exchange for the stockers? I remember seeing this a while back, and not sure if this is even still being offered by whoever it was.

Either way, stands out real good with the yellow.

AAIIIC, what wheels are those? Definitely digging the concave, 5-spoke look on this body. Just enough rake in that stance, too! :thumbsup:

JDB, always been a fan of those accessory wheels :yup:

They're Linea Corse Venetos - www.wheeldude.com. I have the original 19x8.5/10" version, they now offer them in 9.5" for the rear. Some folks (myself included) had some light trailing arm rub with the 10" wheels, so I'm assuming the 9.5" version was in response to that. I'm very happy with the looks, I think they suit the car perfectly.

So I can finally proudly post on this thread. as of yesterday I'm the proud new owner of a 05 CTS V :)

I have a base model as well so of course I swapped over:

Arm rest
my fully adjustable coil overs
and my new Cadillac emblems :)


I'm sure she needs new mounts, but the first thing I'll do is get an X pipe > I'm going the X-pipe with magna flow route... I don't see logic in spending 1300 on an exhaust system...

then of course some motor mounts.

well, here she is:
