coltboostin Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Nice work. So you used the stock subframe, and core support? Jesus! Where did you find the bumper? Also what Ebay headlights did you use and do you like them? I may swap mine out this winter... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam1647545489 Posted October 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 Nice work. So you used the stock subframe, and core support? Jesus! Where did you find the bumper? Also what Ebay headlights did you use and do you like them? I may swap mine out this winter... A friend that works at a body shop ordered all the body parts for me. I ordered a new core support off of ebay and yes we pulled the stock subframe back to within spec of where it needed to be. And the the headlights I just ordered these. http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-03-07-CADILLAC-CTS-HALOGEN-HEADLIGHTS-HEADLAMPS-PAIR-SET-LEFT-RIGHT-/400692967639?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Make%3ACadillac|Model%3ACTS&hash=item5d4b2978d7&vxp=mtr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coltboostin Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 Thanks Bro. As silly as it is I am actually considering these ricer lights. http://www.ebay.com/itm/03-07-Cadillac-CTS-Halo-Projector-Headlights-Black-SMD-LED-DRL-/121432248386?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3ACTS&hash=item1c45ed1042&vxp=mtr http://www.ebay.com/itm/03-07-Cadillac-CTS-CTS-V-Halo-Projector-Headlights-SMD-LED-DRL-/380994126673?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3ACTS&hash=item58b5050351&vxp=mtr Fell like it may give the car an "updated" look?

C-Mart Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 If I was going to dump money into mine it would be the interior. The stock nav sucks, but I like some of the readings it shows. Any options for that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any options for that? I was considering this as well. It sounds like the only way to get the best of both is to convert to a single din (stock CTS) radio and HVAC controls. Console may look a little cluttered, but then you can upgrade to the double din of your choosing. There is a Parrot model that runs on Android that's pretty popular.

C-Mart Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 http://i949.photobucket.com/albums/ad335/ellioth3771/ctsradiomatte.jpg This is the best i have seen so far. Stock display with aftermarket nav and audio. If I knew how to replicate it/didnt have other projects going on I would be all over it.

It would be really easy if there was something like this but for a CTS V which would allow you to easily fit a Nexus 7 or similar tablet. Then you can run something like Timur's Nexus 7 ROM on it which will make it behave as you expect any retail double din device to. Finally, for the OEM gauge displays, Torque Pro + Widgets + Bluetooth OBDII dongle will provide a very similar experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately the factory stability/traction/competition modes are linked to the stock head unit. You would also loose the individual driver settings (seat position and mirrors).

LOL Im looking at this and wondering whats currently there in my car right now:dumb: If I was going to dump money into mine it would be the interior. The stock nav sucks, but I like some of the readings it shows. Any options for that? Im good with the interior. Its in great shape-as far as the NAV/other stuff, if I wanted a different interior, Id buy a different car Car needs new headlight bulbs at a minimum (they have different brightnesses)-I figured I have to remove the whole freaking headlight anyway, I may as well consider an upgrade. I think all I will do over the winter is headlights (or just bubs) and lower it. I am good with the power from just an intake and tune, and 100% happy with just the muffler delete. If the clutch ever goes I will change to an Ls7 set up, but I wont fix it until its broke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
90G60 Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 Debating doing the slave cylinder upgrade they just made for our cars. Apparently makes a world of difference. The engagement in my car is off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
