It rippled left to right like crazy.

I shut her down to cruising speed.. like wtf. Shit was mad sketchy.
Pull over and see the whole driver side shield ripped away. Couldn't find it.
Anyways, it's like $20. Or you can spend $20 on zip ties and make it look cool like Jason
Are we talking about the same panel? What you describe seems to be different? I also never noticed anything with the hood Would be scary to see that.

Maybe for a non OE part it is $20 but from GMPartsDirect the piece I put back together is like $70+ something.

Ah.. $20 is the reggo CTS.. almost looks the same

Well, the TSX needed new wheels....ISF is back (Page 64)-dwxji8k.png

You're right, I did find it for $60 shipped
Amazon has a 3rd party for $33, that's not bad. I don't think you're missing out over OE

I'm not sure if you can order it without the insulating foam.. might be cheaper..

Maybe mine isn't even OE then cause it doesn't have any insulating foam on it. The second cover that is more rearward does have insulating foam on it though. I removed that one though cause it started to tear and would always get in the way of draingin the oil.

I think the insulating foam is just a block of foam that goes in the front, not covering the shield.

Oh ok.

I think you need the CTS-V one. Those two horizontal ridges in the middle appear to line up with the radiator and the aftercooler unit.

I like the zip tied solution better...it's like a refurb, it's been tested and the weak points have been reinforced.

there's no way you drove it hard enough to damage anything.
I never let other's test drive my Cadillac...they will either go too slow, or show off and kill us. Let me do that.

I have done what I did 100s of times before and nothing happened. I just guess over time things got lose and came apart. I will be sure to check on it every oil change from now on.

No that won't happen here.

With your coupe I think the total now is 5 wagons, 2 coupes, and 1 sedan.

Hey.. heads up..
I have the leaky 90 degree fuel pump connector.
It's a plastic connector that cracks.
It's so bad that fuel has leaked all around the fuel tank.

So if the V smells like fumes, get it checked.
Cuin9sec has a thread where he replaces the connector
He switches it with a metal one he pieced together.
I might snip the sheet metal to access the pump
Then bond the connector with epoxy or some putty.

Well that is no good. My wagon always smells like fumes with no cats though so how else am I able to figure that out.

Yeah, sold the Vagon in August 2016. Bought the Tundra and my toy hauler with it. I've since sold the toy hauler and used that money to buy a regular enclosed trailer for the business and the E46 for me.

E63 is the lady's. She still has it. I picked up Saabaadoo's E46 last summer as an extra toy for me

There's a very small chance of me being a Vagon owner again... but still heavily leaning toward an SUV since it would be more of a cruiser for longer trips... most of which would be to the mountains where I'm thinking I'll need the extra ground clearance.
