Tough looking car!
Ordinarily I'm not too fond of black wheels, but on your car, they look GOOD!

Had another 2011 Coupe, but it was a Base model, so here is its replacement. Another 2011 Coupe Performance. Had it a couple months so far and have replaced the A/C compressor ( was blowing warm when i got it ) new brakes on all four corners ( rotors, pads, calipers, and brake hoses ) factory GM spoiler, Lloyds floor mats and 25% window ceramic tint with a windshield strip at 15%..

Added color matched spoiler. I love this car!
Sure made it easy giving up my Solstice.

Feebay, and yes, provided paint code and they painted it. Matched perfect. I installed with the 3M tape they supplied too. I couldn’t bring myself to drill holes in trunk.

$211 ain’t too bad for it being painted and all. How’s the paint job? And did it happen to ship from Kennedale Tx? There’s a shop there that’s pretty close to me that I believe has contracts with a lot of those company’s who sell them. Just curious

 

[CTS_Kenny]

Meant to tell you it looks good too!

Paint job looks nice. Supposedly 3 coats and clear. It came out of Arlington Texas. Got it in less than a week. Definitely worth the $$$ vs. factory one plus painting cost.

What did you do to the front splitter? How?

What did you do to the front splitter? How?

Extended it with this (pic). I really wanted to see how car would behave with wider splitter. And I can feel the difference. Front end is a lot more planted at higher speeds so going into the turn is actually a little less stressful. So thinking about getting real carbon fiber extension made from scratch. To your point there is very little on market that you can put on Cadillac without making it look ugly or overly sporty. And everything is super expensive. So with little imagination and a lot cheaper just follow the lines that are already there. Next project is to do similar treatment in the back. Got inspired by looking at CTS -V design.

Here is mine, 2012 performance 3.6 AWD, got it back in February
My first Cadillac and I bought it purely for the looks, I do wish GM would not have choked this engine down on power… these 3.6 had so much potential especially paired with an AWD

I browse the site on my phone but I will hop on my computer and try again. Thanks for the tip

Smart...Often it is much easier on a computer vs. a phone. I've been here a couple of weeks longer than you and I still have issues, but then everyone around here already knows that.
