Slam that bitch!!! :biggthumpup:
That should be your first step then some non-dubish wheels preferably WEDS

*These cars look really nice in black and that red color, and there's one out in my hood that sounds INSANE!!!! I'd take it over a 300

Jus don't think you can put a fusa and curtains in your car and call it VIP that's jus trendy stuff! (Yes I know I have that in mine...... :pat:)


GL w/ yo build! I'm intrested to see what you do! :biggthumpup:

I agree with 19s or even 20s, unless you like to drive LLLOOOWW.

Should look nice though, its a fat looking car!

Slam it, and some CTS-V touches -- not the badging of course, but V grille and other things like that.

19s? I was thinking staggered 18s. Any wheel ideas? I am debating an aero kit check it out www.D3Cadillac.com. I want the V grill. How about painting the roof black? Thanks for the support. I thought I was going to get beaten.

I wanted to but my wife is 4'11'' and the CTS is to big for her. I am looking at getting a CTS-V for a weekend toy, 400HP.

Painting the roof wont cost anything. I work at a body shop. The CTS-V wheels are 6 lug to my 5 but there is a guy on Ebay who sells knock-off V wheels in 5 lug. I have been thinking of a set of WEDS or Work wheels with a mild lip. Keep the ideas coming. I want to get this going in a couple weeks. I just Emailed Universal Air Suspensions on setting up a kit for me. I think with 18s I will be able to lay it down flat and some of the aero kits are to Fast& Furious for me. Specter werkes makes some nice enhancement parts I like. Thanks

18s will only look good if they are really wide! I/E 11+
Also will probably need I radiuse your fenders to pull it off!

CTSs are huge so your better off getting 19-20s

i like it! i was gonna do an older deville but i got screwed buying pars to rebuild the engine. i had the 4.9 an got the crank pistons and rods from something else i dont know what but they werent right.
i think it would look go with a lip kit too. and maybe get a plate relocater and take off the center plate thing and a chrome grille would be hot too.

Okay just an update. Ordering my suspension from Universal Air Suspensiontomorrow. What are your thoughts? I have read good things about them. I also recieved new custom made all clear fog/driving light lenses and clear side markers. Gives the front end a clean look. Next step Wheels??

He's joking....

I'm not a fan of UAS, I would have gone airrunner but it's your money and hopefully it works out for you! :biggthumpup:

Did you get the basic setup or did you upgrade your struts??

Now it's time to get some wheels!
You want mine! =)

I am bringing this back after all these years! I have the suspension done and it is way low and I am not on air?! I built everything myself, modifying different parts from different cars. I also have a stainless mesh grille, upper and lower and 20% tint. NOW I need help with the wheels. I want something that flows with the lines of the car. I also want WIDE. I am not afraid to chop this car up. I do it for a living. I am keeping the pearl white paint but respraying the whole car. I want this done and finished after all these years nobody has tried the CTS. AJO713 I have seen your car before Look nice!
