Been a member for awhile, but never posted pics of my '08.

I got mine 2 weeks ago and I love it. Almost identical to the one above except my CTS doesn't have 4 Wheel Drive.

That "fin" is the actual antenna. If he didn't take it off the dealer forgot to put it on. I've noticed that all the cars sitting on the dealer lots don't have the antenna attached to the base.

Anyone with pics of a CTS (08-09) with only the rear windows tinted? I have an 09 Black Raven and want to get my windows tinted, but live in Michigan, and only rears are legal. Just curious as to how it looks.

Thanks!

I live in Michigan also and had the rear windows done in 30% and the front side windows done in 35%. The idea here is to show a definite but subtle difference between front and rear so the cops don't think you are trying to get away with something. This is the second car I have done this with and have never been stopped or questioned by any law enforcement person!
Here's a few pics that show the 'look'.

Thanks for the pics and reply crystal_red! Not sure if I should push it with 35% in front. I've called 1 place and they'll do 43% in front, and another will do 50% in front. I'm thinking of doing 43% front and 35% back, or 50% front and 35% back. Any feedback would be appreciated!

The only advice I would give is to not get too far apart in the light transmission between front and rear. I have seen a few cars that went really dark in the rear and much lighter in the front and it looks funny to me.
I would say go with the 43/50% combo and you will be fine.

Here are few pics of my new '09 CTS RWD Black Cherry. These pics were taken after using the Smooth Surface Clay Kit (Meguiar's) followed by a coat of NXT generation Tech Wax 2.0 (Meguiar's).

Looks gorgeous. I used to detail cars and I once made the horrible mistake of Claying my own car when it was too cold. Clay is great but below 60 degrees or above 85 degrees forget it. It certainly looks like you did everything perfect.

Here's a crappy cam-phone pic of my '09. If it looks a little dusty that's cuz it is, just look at the dump I live in (pic taken today!)

I got a Gold Mist.

Here are some photos of my 2009 DI FE2 CTS, finished in Radiant Silver / Lt. Titanium. The vehicle was built & shipped at the end of May 2009, and delivered to me on June 11th.
I am REALLY ENJOYING this new CTS.. really loving it. I've been receiving a ton of compliments since bringing it home, and the car turns heads wherever I go.
Cheers
RAB.

Very Nice RAB. I don't know why, but when I saw that first picture, I immediately knew it was London. I'm looking at the 09s as I'm going to be sell my 03 soon. My two requirements are the Performance Package and Nav. Did you buy it from Cadillac Hummer / LMP?
