a couple quick newbie exterior questions Hey guys,
I recently purchased an 05 CTS-V & have a couple quick questions.
Can anyone tell me what spoiler I have?
My front bumper has no license plate holes. The car was involved in a fender bender & the bumper cover was replaced. I read some threads regarding people trying to cover the holes, but it looks like mine doesn't have any. Would a replacement bumper cover not have holes?
I've got scratches on my headlights, but only on the top, on the grey. I know the scratched headlights are a common issue, but are these scratches on the top only, typical?
Thanks guys & have a good weekend!

scratches on top are typical, I covered mine up with a vinyl sticker(eyelids)...no idea on the spoiler, maybe vogue? And there were no holes in the bumpers from the factory.

The spoiler sort of looks like specter but not sure without seeing a rear pic. it does look good though. the scratchs on the headlight arent really actually scratches. from the factory, gm puts a UV protective coating on the headlight lenses but the coating is starting to de-laminate from the inside (by inside I mean the inside of the coating not the inside of the headlight lol, it is the part of the coating on the inside touching the lens). The 'scratches' are just the normal way the cadillacs begin to deteriorate for some odd reason. its the same as when honda headlights get really yellow and cloudy looking. As far as no holes in the front bumper, I'm sure the previous owner asked the body shop to not drill out hole on the new bumper from when the car was in a accident. My V doesnt have hols, and has never been in an accident. congrats on the purchase of the V

WOW, another Denver V. Welcome aboard.
I have never seen a spoiler like that. Doesn't appear to be Spectre or Factory. The Vogue one also goes over the tail lights a bit. Perhaps this is a custom altered Vogue?!? Got any pics from the rear?

rear pic of spoiler Thanks for the info guys, & for the warm welcome. Here is a rear pic of the spoiler. I've been browsing thru pictures online & I haven't seen a spoiler exactly like it either.

Def not a spectre or GM accessory. Definelty looks one of a kind or maybe some cheap one for a regular cts that none of the V guys look for. Sorry didnt mean to make it sounds cheap just meant usually we dont look for stuff not offered for the "V".
