2 Quick questions... I am new to the forum and seriusly looking for a V... With that i kinda want to do a Chef copy but with a few things different (that is an awesome car)..
First off I am trying to find a Black on Black V with OUT a sunroof.. How rare are they?
Second.. I will do the flare kit and want to CTS-V+ wheels I have searched all over but from what i get they were a one of setup. If anyone knows where or who makes a factory styled wheel please let me know. I have seen the CCW's but I want a replica of the V+.
Thank you and I have posted a couple pics of the V+.

I have an '05 that I bought new. I searched and searched and searched, and finally found one without a moonroof. It was hard but persistance paid off. Mine is the only one I've ever seen without a moonroof. I think they are fairly rare. It is nice though for the following reasons:
The OEM wheels are Speedlines. The CTS-VR wheels are made by O.Z. I think you are going to have a really hard time finding wheels like those. CCW's are probabaly your best option.
Good luck.

- A LOT more head room
- Shave off about 45 LBS very high in the car , lowevering overall weight and center of gravity
- Car is probabaly just a bit more rigid
- No sunroof leak issues
- I've had no rear sail panel issues. I always roll with the windows down too. I attribute this to a different wind pattern through the car w/o the moonroof.

I feared so.. I have looked on Aoto Trader and ebay for the past month. I have time for I am headed back to the desert.
Thank you for the info on the wheels.. I am going to look into OZ's price on making another set of them. I believe they are one off the only companies who will make custom wheels like that but I am sure its not going to be cheap.
Once again Thank you,
Brandon

Just delete it and save lbs and replace with a carbon fiber piece like I did with the bmw...
You could powdercoat the stock wheels but you're limited in wider tires and it would make the flairs look like azz.
Just go ccw black race wheels like I did...Go grab the "trak pak" mustang wing and throw it on - not ricer at all would help down force assuming you'll do a splitter up front. It's about 1,100.00 for the wing - that would have been my next move along with a splitter.
