Thems purty

Thanks. Buddy of mine knocked them out of the park. It’s a titanium and glacier black mix.

The front coming in will be quite the welcoming to the neighborhood. Cold starts from day 1.

Ceramic coating???

Mine are titanium ceramic.

Correct

Cerakote C Series. Sent it to him and told him to surprise me. This is what he came up with. I like it. Picture/lighting make it look a little beige.

Headers are on and finally leak free from what I can tell. Shop that did the install ****** around and I gave up on it. Ended up taking it to my muffler guy to weld up.
Windshield is back to 35% again, wanted 20 but they didn’t have it in ceramic. Couldn’t pull the trigger on going to 15.

Had a couple issues with the black bear live tuning so I wasn’t able to get that done as hoped. Autocal should be here by the end of the week thankfully. V4 will drive you nuts with long tubes.

Got pulled over for the first time in awhile yesterday for not having a registration sticker on the dash. First time I’ve had an issue in 5 years without running one. Surprised the hell out of me.

Swapped out the factory pads/rotors for R1 concepts drilled rotors and ceramic pads. No real difference in stopping power. As far as I know they were the original rotors. Just crossed the 164k mark.

Also got the tune back from BlackBear. Engine runs smoother at idle and pulls harder in the middle and upper RPM range. Shifting is close to factory when you are cruising around with slightly higher shift points. When you flat foot it you can really tell a difference in the shifts. Much firmer and no delay between gears. I’m happy so far.

Anyone have a parts list for the rear main seal? That’s next on the list as well as a sensor under the steering wheel, so tired of lights on the dash.

Caddy is lookin real good! I like those rotors! I have the R1 drilled and slotted rotors and pads on my 2006 Denali XL. And I absolutely love them! Had them two years now with zero issues. Just now put pads on the back.

What’s involved in that? I had a shop do the install.

Just some quick stops. I just swapped the pads in my ‘03 Yukon to some powerstop ceramic carbon fiber pads and did 5 quick stops from 50-55 to about 20. Just barely shy of activating the abs. By the way, very happy with the pads! [emoji106]
