Cts-V getting stripped naked....
Cts-V getting stripped naked tomorrow.
all emblems, stickers, badges are comming off.
and i'm getting blacked out lenses (fogs/running lamps, side signals, and rear lenses) and also badges in center of crest will be blacked out
for a "one of a kind" look that will make more people wonder "what kind of car
is that"...the only thing that will imply caddy is the wreath and badge,(FRONT AND REAR) other than the obvious ls2 rumble...untill turbos that is...
i got the idea when i seen an M5 (my friends), with all badges stripped...
car looks amazing!
will look like envy's car minus the emblems...and blacked out badges/crest in picure

You can just use a hairdryer to get the adhesive hot and then just pull slightly. Some run a peice of fishing line behind the emblems to help separate the adhesive. And once the emblem is gone just use some kind of solvent (rubbing alcohol, carb cleaner, paint stripper) to get the extra gunk off. Then just wash the area good so the solvent doesn't sit on the paint and **** that up.

they come off pretty easy, grab some fishing line and go under the emblem, from there, goo gone or 3m adhesive remover, then a little polish and your all good.

I used the heat gun, fishing line, goo-b-gone method for the CTS emblem. Took maybe 5 minutes tops and the emblem is fine. Just do it yourself.

I know the flat black stripes aren't for everyone but I always wanted to see a silver one with my old scheme. They didn't pop on the black paint, you really couldn't tell until you got really close to the car. But on a Silver car, it would be sick....just an idea
#20
or gloss black and black out said pieces...
or maybe just widen stockers an inch in the rear and leave the rest alone...
???
thats why i love this car, it will always look good no matter what u do to it...
it's got great lines!
