CTS-V? Yes pls.

Post by complacent »

I found these shots in a thread over at Nasioc. This might be the single sexiest Cadillac I've ever seen.

I like that paint.

Wonder what it looks like in full light...

I've been thinking the same thing of late. I'm super impressed with the CTS-V and if I could just get passed the looks I might be scoping a used one out big time.

Agreed on all counts! That looks DAMN mean and it's a hell of a performer too. I haven't seen too many modded ones around, but I bet they are awesome.

It needs black calipers and black painted mufflers to finish the theme. Yes, they have come a long way.

A guy on Evo-X achieved the flat black look though the application of full body vinyl, which I consider to be genius and he paid less than $3K for it because he bought the vinyl himself and had a shop do it. The CTS-V is a very impressive car and the only downside to me is the size, just too big for my tastes.

What's so cool about it is that it's actually a grey car with flat black vinyl covering the entire car.
I wonder how much weight it added?

I wonder if the vynil gets mushy when it is super hot and sitting out in the sun. Would suck to have a soccer mom in a parking lot do a little "ripple effect" on it.

Oh wow, that looks really cool! Thanks!

I'd love to go flat black but Betty has too many dents and dings to even consider the full vinyl wrap option and JBP is the best black evar (if I would only wash her once in a while).

then again, maybe I should get the suspension under control before I go spending cash on a new paint job. :lol: :oops:

Your just a set of D-Spec struts away from a finely sorted WRX suspension.
