yeah i think black chrome stockers and dropping it an inch on a gc kit will look sufficient

plus there is virtually zero options for rims cuz its 6x115 and a high offset with huge calipers

Looks good. Personally, I would have went a little darker on the tint for the side windows. However I do understand people have different preferences with tint. Foose Speed 6's look really nice on CTS-V's. Other than that the car looks pretty good the way Cadillac sets them up out of the box. Nice car, throw some headers on it.

Thanks guys. Like I said My plans are just blacking out the tails powdercoating the rims mesh in the grills brake calipers and the center of the new slotted roters black chrome and that should really set it off.Then dropping it an inch on ground control kit. then the cosmetic mods should be done.

Brent, are you going to get some V caliper decals after powdercoating? Some colored V decals on the calipers might look subtle, but sharp. Looking to powdercoat my stockers also. First I need to install the !CAGS that just came in...
