You're such a ***, why don't you go put a volant sticker on your back window? I heard it adds 20HP with a tune and CAI only! Better yet why don't you go make your GT look like a GXP with badges and everything since ” it's so cool” and then come post pics up so we can compare it to a Fiero trying to look like a Ferrari? But hey, all you GT guys think it looks soooooo ”coool” right? I'm sure regular cts guys think that putting V parts and badges on looks cool too, even thought we laugh at them! Just like the GXP guys laugh at you GT guys for doing the same thing... word of advice, go buy a GXP if that's what you want to look like!

I love it when a thread goes juvenile.
Op I think you could just get away with a hood, mesh grills and rims. Would look good really, just struggle to get out of its way. <-could not help myself. Again, good luck, and if ya do it post up some pics so we forum guys have something to bicker about.

All show and no go. Lame. I don't care if it looks good or is done well. And putting other cars wheels on your different car is not the same as trying to make your car look like something it's not. It's one thing to clean up the look of a car and another to make it look like a car it's not.
If you roll up to me or at a GTG looking like a V and it's a base CTS... I will laugh at it and I can have that opinion ...like or not...because that's what it is...my opinion. Do whatever you want..it's your car and your $...but expect people to not like it.

Hmm perhaps I should have tried a woman friendly forum. Yikes. Well to be clear I just wanted the front of the V. So I wasn't going to add sideskirts, badges, rear bumper, wheels or anything else that the V has. And again I don't want a V because I'm paying mainly for performance that I don't want or need so IMO it's a waste of money. If I want to go fast I hop on my GSXR, which I rarely do anyway. Now if the car ends up looking like crap without the sideskirts or wheels then yes I will go ahead and add those. Plus if you are buying a CTS with a V hood anyway, why not just change out the bumper and grills as well?

Wouldn't you rather get honest opinions from people rather then sugar coated answers because you're a girl? besides you could have been a guy with that name... Our opinions were not based on your gender.... Btw, it will look like crap if you just do the front bumper.. worse case do front and back bumpers, and side skirts... just make sure to have some rims on it too..

I'm sure there are several on there who have done a CTS to V look conversion and could help you get the aesthetic you want. No one here has every attempted it, and anyway we are more focused on performance on this forum (hence the name LS1tech, after the fabled LS1 V8 engine).
Good luck.

Not unusual... I always stickup for my V family when someone comes in name calling... It was just a bonus because I can't stand the G8 fanboy....
These two characters are putting on an unusual show. We're not usually this bad. Having said that, you will have better luck with CTS forum on caddilacforums:

Sounds like dumping 6k to make a fake cts-v is a good investment.
