Awesome video man, I have a 2014 CTS 2.0T all black & I just ordered some niche 20’s /sectors, you have given me some great ideas, I want to black everything out along with some carbon fiber, new sub😎🔥💯
I love the 2nd gen CTS. I wish someone would come out with LED running light upgrade where instead of looking like a string of lights they appear as a continuous linear light. Once you see that on the newer cars you can't unsee it.
Pretty sure there are aftermarket companies that do it. One owner went to a place in LA that did things others said weren’t possible. But you gotta pay to play
@@JetFuelOnly - Hmm. If you happen to know the place in LA or how I might look it up please comment. That is near and sounds interesting. Yep, you gotta pay to play for sure.
Great looking car Danial! I really like what you did with yours, also I've never been a fan of tinting lights AT ALL, because people always go full solid pitch black overboard with it, I've never seen a good example of it until your car right now, yours is very subtle and every small bit blends in on the car very nicely from door handles to emblems. Definitely going to consider the rear taillight tint, I want something very subtle like that to not mess with light output either. I noticed the same difference you mentioned on my CT6. What % did you do on yours? Thanks
Just picked up a low low mile ‘15 cts4 3.6 n/a for the wife same color as yours. Wanted to say thanks for the videos & hope you make more. Got several ideas from you that I bet the mrs will like.
I put led floating center caps on my ats and also replaced my mirror puddle lights with some really slick projector lights. Not just your typical lame door projector lights. I won’t do those. I try to stay away from the stuff people typically do, like the front splitter or the V type wing or anything that’s 3m tape or stick on. I hate that cheap junk.
Looks great! I'm new to Cadillacs and I just purchased a low mile 2015 CTS awd. Can you tell me if those wheels would fit on mine? The awd throws me off on choices.

Great Video! Question- I am wanting to wrap my tail lights in the same color as my car. I am not looking at wrapping the entire light but leaving a smaller red strip. Any input?
I’m looking to upgrade my headlights on my 2014 CTS 2.0T but can’t find what size/type of bulb it is... it’s a low/high beam bulb and I think their halogen, but I don’t care for that soft white look. I like the HID/ LED lights better... Any recommendations on an upgrade so it’s a cleaner white looking light.
I haven’t looked much into lights. Even the HID lights on my VSport some people complain aren’t as bright as other cars. If you want something beyond HID do you need to upgrade the projectors and only one person has done that. Expect to spend over $1000. For your base model with halogen lights you might try an aftermarket HID system, but again I’ve never looked into it. I saw some on carid.com today
Hey my bro what size mm would you have recommended to work with the stock camber? My 2014 2.0T is stock and I’m wanting to fit a set of 22x8.5 w/ 35mmOffset. Thanks for all of your work by the way.
I'm not really sure on some of the clearances and stock offsets are on the ATS, especially with 22' rims...that's a lot for that car. I may have seen one CTS with 22s. Do you know the stock wheel offset and width? Once you do you plug in all your info into Willtheyfit.com and see how things change. You will still need to measure the clearance your stock wheels/tires have from the fender and strut. It's all in the math.
@@JetFuelOnly oh wow! Thank you so much for sharing. I was torn between the 2014 cts and the challenger of the same year but the caddy juat looks so much more comfortable inside. After seeimg your video im totally sold on the caddy hands down! Thanks again!
@@JetFuelOnly ok thank you. I’ve bought the parts. Heard all sorts of stuff from easy to now hard. I’d want plug and play. Don’t want to cut any of the factory harness. Thanks for the input.

How do you remove oval chrome rings around exhaust??? And will aftermarket exhaust make the check engine light come on? Thanks. Excellent videos. I follow you on Instagram.
Of everything? Wheels and tires alone will cost over $3500 depending on wheel choice. Lowering springs are $400, tiny $200-300, paint protection film $2-3k. Rear CTS-V bumper setup $2500+. Splitter set $1500
You mean an LT4 6.2? might need the trans to go with it. The VSport has a different trans. Then you need the PCM and wiring harness probably. My opinion is you are better off buying a V if you want a V8. But since this video was made there have been advances in tuning the TT V6. We make CTS-V power with a tune and E85 blend
@@JetFuelOnly Thank you I just purchased a 2017 Cts premium luxury with the V sport package do you know what size tire and wheel set will look good? Any help is much appreciated👍
@@LarryDavidshow I have 19” and that’s the size the CTS-V has. Some people opt for 20” but you will have an even harsher ride. Generally no wider than 9” front and 19.5-10” rear.
Many people do 20” but 19” is what I have and the V has. Remember you will lose ride quality the lower your tire profile is. Generally max 255 up from and 295 in the rear but common sizes are 245 up front and 285 rear
Unless it’s meant to be universal, exterior appearance mods will generally be different. Things that may be compatible between cars is more like suspension parts and some engine parts when comparing two models with same engine of course
It's the regular VSport emblem. You just need to figure out a way to get it to attach to the grill. I haven't done it myself so I haven't tried. Wish I had more info for you.
@@JetFuelOnly Oh, I thought he made a special bracket to attach an emblem to it. I like it. I'm the one that started the V sport fender badge post way back in 2014 on cadillac forums.com. I saw your name on that thread. Had a black one back then. Recently bought a white one as I missed it.
