Why this part

Give the Blackwing front fascia the material it deserves. These direct-fit outer grilles are engineered in pre-preg (dry) carbon fiber and cured in an autoclave for strength, precision, and ultra-clean weave alignment. You’ll keep factory geometry for proper airflow and sensor clearances, while upgrading to a premium, high-gloss UV-protected finish that matches high-end OE carbon.

Key Features

• True Pre-Preg / Autoclave Construction: Lightweight, rigid, and dimensionally stable—no excess resin weight or print-through.

• Direct-Fit Geometry: CAD-matched to the 2025–2026 CT5-V Blackwing bumper; designed to replace the factory outer grille pair corresponding to GM 42794543 / 42794542.

• Show-Grade Finish: Gloss clearcoat with UV inhibitors to resist yellowing and hazing.

• Weave & Layup Quality: 3K 2×2 twill (other weaves by request); mirrored weave orientation left/right for a balanced appearance.

• Factory-Style Mounting: Utilizes OEM-style clip locations and tabs for a clean, secure install.

• Aero/Airflow Preserved: Maintains OE duct openings to support brake- and intercooler-side flow paths.

• Weight Reduction: Carbon construction typically reduces weight versus factory plastic while elevating visual impact.
