2003-04 Cadillac CTS Upper Grille Installation Instructions

Step 1: Remove factory grille shell. First, remove the four plastic screws located on top of the shell (two in the front & two on top). Then remove the four plastic screws located on the bottom (directly behind the grille shell). The bottom screws are much harder to remove as you have limited access to them. You can snap them out which will render them useless for future use, or you can take your time and slowly work (shimmy) them out using a flat head screwdriver.
Note: If you intend to install the grille shell back on to the vehicle you will need the plastic screws to do so. If they are broken when removing the factory shell you will need to purchase new plastic screws from the dealership.
Step 2: Tape over the grille opening to protect finish (see figure 1 & 2). Next, using the necessary cutting tool (die grinder, air/pneumatic saw, jigsaw) carefully cut the plastic guides from the grille (see figures 2, 3 & 4). Do not cut into the exposed portion of the front end.
Step3: Now file down rough spots until smooth (see figures 5 & 6). Once finished you will have a nice smooth surface, which will allow the billet grille to rest unobstructed in the freshly trimmed opening (see figure 7).
Step 4: Fit the grille insert into the trimmed opening, attach the two extension brackets to the top two brackets (left & right) using the 10-24 x 1” cap screws and k-lock nuts provided, then attach the two bottom extension brackets using the 10-24 x 1” cap screws and k-lock nuts. Before tightening be sure that you have the proper distance needed for a precise fit.

Cadillac CTS Installation Modification

The Cadillac CTS left channel audio is wired differently than all other vehicles compatible with the SIR-GM1. The left channel audio and ground wires are switched which can cause phasing and noise problems. To correct this, a simple modification must be made to the factory SDAR interface harness included with the SIR-GM1.

1957 Cadillac Air Suspension – Part 1, The Front

After a number of years of engineering, Cadillac introduced air suspension on the 1957 Eldorado Brougham. For four years this option was offered, but since only 904 Broughams were built there were a very few equipped with air. In at least some years (if not all) from 1957 through 1960, Cadillac offered air suspension as a $215 option for both the Brougham and the non­ Brougham models. To do so, frames were built to accommodate both steel and air springs. Reports on these cars tell us that the system was quite remarkably smooth and comfortable (quite a complement considering Cadillac’s reputation for great ride) as long as they worked. The problem was that they were plagued with leaks. Leaks at fitting, and in controls, and anywhere else they could leak. They tended to freeze in the winter. You could lose air and drop the car without much warning. It was complicated and difficult to repair and maintain.
