Advanti HY Hybris
Yes I was looking for more pictures of people running this wheel. Searched the web and did not come up with much. Id like to see 18 vs 19. I'd like to see them on a AWD too it seems they might stick in a bit much on the rear.

Should I Use staggered wheels?
I know there has been a lot about this subject discussed by i just have more specific questions. I really want to put 18-inch rims on my 2013 Cadillac ats, obviously, this is not a problem.The problem is I want to put at least 255(width) tires in the back and leave the front more than less the same size (225) for steering feel. In order to do this do I need to get staggered wheels or can i just order 2 pairs of normal wheels that are different sizes? also, what is your opinion on the 18-inch rims? should I go bigger? Thank you guys very much!

ATS front bumper splitter/ After market lip ?
Has anyone used or tried installing splitters on the bumper for the ATS the the one from the link below? Also, has anyone ever used any aftermarket lips for the ATS? It seems there are limited options here in Canada and that too they are expensive. D3, ACS and the GM lip front lips only?

Dont waste your money on CBI HID bulbs.
I have always been into lighting and would never put a cheap blue or purple type bulb in any car of mine, but for years the Osram CBI bulb was always raved as the best. Whiter light without the loss of lumens...infact many claim they are actually brighter than the standard 4300k bulb. I basically wanted whiter light that you see on most newer LED equipped vehicles, plus it would match the waterfalls better.
Anyway, last year I finally went ahead and bought a pair of genuine Osram CBI bulbs from a reputable retailer (TRS). They arent cheap by any means. I installed them in my 2016 ATS premium and as expected since they are new bulbs they looked similar. I say expected because HID bulbs need some hours on them to color shift. Almost a year has gone by and I never did see that color shift happen. Now to even confirm, I recently bought a 2017 ATS and until my 2016 ships out to the new owner I have both in my garage. Cars side by side aimed at the same wall...freakin identical in every way shape and form. Looking at the headlights on the car, looking at the cutoff and color on the wall...identical.
The guy at TRS said each projector is different and it might just be the projectors in the ATS, but Im not completely sold on that. Osram now has a new bulb out called the CBB. I have watched some YouTube reviews and comparisons and it looks promising, but is it even worth it? Not so sure anymore.
I took some pics, but as you guys know for lighting it really doesnt show color well.

I’ve been trying to read around on here, (it’s kinda hard on the phone) but I need to know do I need to buy resisters and the module or what ever for canbus for the turn and reverse lights?
Correct me if I’m wrong for these bulbs also please:
Turn signal: 7440/7443
Reverse: 921
Plate: 194
Interior & etc: 7 194s and 4 29mm
I plan on getting all these from Diode Dynamics with the side marker leds as well.
Feel free to link me another thread or give info, Thanks

Some pics of my 2017 Phantom Gray Carbon Black package ATS
I haven't really posted any pics of my recent purchase yet so here are a few. As far as mods I had the windows tinted 35% just like my white 2016. I also transferred over the Diode Dynamics LED strip front marker lights in smoke color. Also swapped over from my 2016 is the full oem CTS LED interior lighting setup. Front amber turn signals are VLED V6 Tritons (best LED signal kit you can buy hands down). Other than that my only other plan is to get the OEM ground effects kit (minus the rear bumper section which I don't like). My 2016 has that kit and IMO its a must have. Its somewhat subtle, but really transforms the look of the vehicle.

How to find discontinued OEM primer ground effects kit?
Hello, I am in search of the OEM ground effects kit for my 2017 ATS. Unfortunately the kit comes painted to match only in black, white, silver, and red. So Im on my own for my Phantom Gray. Originally I figured I will just have to buy a different color, then have it repainted...which still may be the case, however I found a part number that also lists the kit as once being available as primed. Most sites say its discontinued and my local dealership verified this. I can however go through with the purchase on one or two GM parts sites that do not list it as discontinued. Maybe it would go through then I would eventually be notified its not available I dont know.
So my question is, does anyone have any sort of inside contact or ability to search a nationwide system to see if this primed kit can be located? Its part number 23350550
Any help would be great appreciated.

LED C9 Headlight Upgrade
Hey guys looking to pick up these LED Bulbs was wondering if anyone had error codes or flickering when upgrading from halogen to LED. Are Cadillacs prone to error codes? I currently drive a 2017 ATS 2.0. My BMW was a pain in the ass... I couldn't change anything without it crying! I was thinking about getting a resistor decoder/error canselor. Not sure which one to get however.

Wax on.....Wax off..
Yeah, I know everyone has an opinion on waxes......
However, if you are just looking for a good, all-around wax that is easy to apply and remove (especially on darker colors), last a long time, and gives a good shine, I recommend Nu Finish - the liquid in the orange bottle you can get for cheap at Walmart.
I am sure there are expensive waxes that might give a better shine - but for ease of use and durabiltlity, I find Nu-finish hard to beat.
Just waxed SWMBO's 2013 lux....Man, it looks good and didn't take any time at all. Pez.

Carbon Fibre ATS-V rear spoiler install
New CF rear spoiler just arrived and came with double sided tape only. Was wondering if it was worth installing a couple of screws from the inside of the trunk to help secure it. My kids bought it for me and I would hate for it to blow off and be out $200.
Thanks

RePaint
Hello All,
I have had my ATS since February 2018, the car only had about 6,000 miles on it, what a good deal for a 2014, the previous owner had leased the car. Everything was Ok, they washed the car for me, and I was on my way. When I first washed it I noticed a stain on the roof/hood, I tried to wash it out but it did not come out. I called the dealership and they had me bring it in and their service contractor buffed it out. Looked Ok until I had it washed again and the same spots reappeared.
What should I do: have it repainted or have the clear coat redone, or should the dealership take care of the paint job?
