Default My new used 2010 Cadillac CTS-V!!!

**UPDATED PICS ON PAGE 2**

Hi everyone! 1st time Cadillac owner here and loving my car! This thing is so beast, it is one of the best decisions I've ever made I do need an opinion however, when I got the car, the previous owner went with a black and yellow theme to it. Do you guys think the Yellow emblem looks wack or okay? At first I didn't like it, but now it kind of grew on me. Also, anyone know what type of rims these are? I'll post my own pics soon!

I think the wheels look great with the yellow calipers, but the emblem is a bit much. Personally I'd switch to a stock one. I'm with elmarro on the wheels. Those look like painted/powder coated ZR1 wheels. Either way Nice ride! Stick or auto?

Ditch the yellow emblem and yellow in the side port. The wheels look good.

Those aren't ZR-1 wheels, but they look good on the car.

I am with the others, I would ditch the yellow emblems !

I'd take as much yellow off as I reasonably could.

I with with everyone else...wheels and calipers look pretty good...but the emblems (and vent) take it WAYYYY to far.

Unless you are Wiz Khalifa...

Very distinctive, if nothing else.

I'd be inclined to take the yellow rim off (paint it black?) the wheels and leave the emblem and calipers. Maybe manipulate the photo in different combinations to see which looks best.

NICE car!

I like the way it is. It would be great if you were a steelers fan, but Im a Redskins fan so I would add a little Burgundy in there somewhere lol, If you like it, keep it the way it is.

IMO ... lose all of the yellow except maybe the calipers. If it's possible, how about a grill emblem delete?

I like the yellow accents, but I think the ornament is a tad too much. If the ornament could be accented in yellow and not full on yellow, it'd look good. The vents don't bother me. The subtle yellow accents work. The blatant ornament doesn't.

A numbered vehicle like that makes me wonder if it was tracked though?

Looks like a lot so the number onthe windshield is most likely the model year.

The calipers look OK.

Is that a Yellow ring around each wheel? That's gotta go.

Black out the grill(or go back to stock)

Black out the fender vent as well(or go back to stock)
