Yeah, I posted on a Caddy forum about where to find replacement parts. Some look good, some don't... but I don't want to break the bank for an experiment. Sadly, used parts aren't nearly as common for the CTS-V as they are for the CB7!

I would start with your emblems and go from there those would be the easiest to undo. As for the grill i would do it in plastic dip clear then lay down the bomb this way it will be easier to get off with little to no chemicals needed, although if you paint over the dip it's harder to get off than normal.

That just looks black to me, though... I want it to be subtle. Still kinda "chrome" looking, but a little darker. My car is black on black, afterall!Originally posted by F20A CB7 View Post
I might give it a shot on the emblems. They're much cheaper to replace if I mess them up! My rear emblem just says CTS, so I can find one of those easily! (dental floss and a ninja costume at 4am...)

Yeah, it's not cheap anymore. This is specialized paint, I think it comes with 2 cans. A 2 stage thing. Probably even more expensive. I was in Autozone today and I didn't even check!

That Escalade doesn't have the black-chrome grille. Thats just a grille painted black.Originally posted by F20A CB7 View Post

Or that dude overdid it. I wonder if the pictures that aren't showing up are of a properly-done black chrome grille...
That's the forum I just joined. Seems pretty cool. Of course, it's corporate-owned like Honda Tech.
I've had half a dozen offers from corporations that want this forum. I tell them to go fuck themselves.

If you read the dude's comments he says that the grille pictured is of his old grille that he got with the truck that was just a billet grille painted black. He then proceeds to ask if anyone whats to buy it, lol.Originally posted by deevergote View Post
They must not be offering you enough, lol.Originally posted by deevergote View PostComment

Only 2 have actually given me a number. One, at the time, was considerably more than I made in a year...
I don't think I'd sell this forum for less than 7 figures. And if anyone was stupid enough to buy it for that much, I'd start a new one (or just buy mycb7.com...)

I've never heard of mycb7.com, but I just took a gander at the sight... Definitely like night and day compared to this one. The site is hard to navigate through and isn't very well made. Are you in cahoots with them at all?
Sorry if I am off topic here but I just had to ask that because like I said, this is the first I've heard of a 4th gen site other than this one.Comment

i used the VHT years (and i mean ) years ago and it came out nice.
deev, please buy mycb7.com so it can be a little brother to cb7tunerComment

Lol, damn you act like Deev is ballin outta control or some shit. I'm going to go out on a limb and say he probably doesn't have the means to go buying up websites whenever he feels the need to.
Shit, you should buy it if thats how you feel.Comment
