Product Overview
Upgrade the front-end appearance of your 2025-Present Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing with this GM Factory Style Dry Pre-Preg Carbon Fiber Upper Grille Trim Insert, engineered to deliver a premium OEM+ styling enhancement while maintaining precise factory-level fitment. Designed specifically for the aggressive front fascia of the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing, this carbon fiber grille trim insert replaces the factory upper grille trim with a lightweight, motorsport-inspired carbon fiber component that enhances both visual presence and performance aesthetics.
Manufactured using dry pre-preg double-sided carbon fiber composite technology, this grille trim insert offers superior strength, structural rigidity, and reduced weight compared to traditional wet carbon fiber manufacturing processes. The advanced pre-preg construction method ensures precise resin control and higher fiber density, creating a stronger and more consistent composite structure used widely in high-end automotive and motorsport applications.
Unlike standard cosmetic overlays, this component is engineered as a true replacement-style trim insert, following the exact contours and mounting geometry of the factory Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing upper grille assembly. The result is a seamless integration with the surrounding grille and bumper surfaces, preserving the vehicle’s original design language while adding a distinctive carbon fiber performance appearance.
The double-sided carbon fiber construction ensures real carbon fiber material is present on both the exterior visible surface and internal structure. This design not only increases durability and rigidity but also maintains consistent carbon fiber weave alignment throughout the component, providing a high-end finish that matches other premium carbon fiber exterior upgrades.
To protect the carbon fiber weave and preserve its deep gloss appearance, the exposed surface is coated with a high-gloss UV-resistant clear coat. This protective finish helps prevent fading, oxidation, and yellowing caused by sunlight, environmental exposure, and temperature changes, ensuring the carbon fiber maintains its premium appearance over time.
Engineered using OEM Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing reference data, this grille trim insert follows the precise contours of the factory grille structure for accurate alignment and professional installation results. The trim utilizes the original mounting locations and retention points, allowing the component to install securely without drilling, cutting, or permanent modification to the vehicle.
Designed as a direct replacement upgrade, this carbon fiber upper grille trim insert delivers an ideal balance of lightweight performance materials, OEM-level fitment, and aggressive styling—making it a perfect exterior enhancement for Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing owners seeking a subtle yet high-impact carbon fiber upgrade.

About Dry Carbon
Dry Carbon Fiber vs Wet Carbon Fiber — What’s the Difference?
Not all carbon fiber parts are made the same. The biggest distinction comes down to how the carbon is processed — commonly known as dry carbon and wet carbon. Both use genuine carbon fiber weave, but the production method, finish, and performance are completely different.
Manufacturing Process
Dry carbon fiber parts are produced using a pre-preg (pre-impregnated) carbon cloth, where the exact amount of resin is pre-applied by the manufacturer. These sheets are then vacuum-sealed and cured under high pressure and temperature in an autoclave, removing excess air and resin.
The result is a light, extremely strong, and precisely formed component — the same process used in motorsport and aerospace applications.
Wet carbon fiber, on the other hand, uses a hand-lay or wet-lay method. The carbon cloth is laid into a mold and liquid resin is manually brushed or poured over it before curing. Because it’s not vacuum-bagged or autoclave-cured, there’s usually more trapped resin and air pockets, leading to a heavier part and a less uniform finish.
Weight & Strength
Dry carbon fiber is roughly 30–50% lighter than wet carbon. This is due to the controlled resin ratio — just enough to bind the fibers without unnecessary weight.
By comparison, wet carbon or carbon-over-fiberglass parts can be up to 70% heavier, since excess resin and fiberglass layers add mass without increasing stiffness.
For reference:
- Carbon Fiber Density: ~1.55 g/cm³
- Fiberglass Density: ~2.6 g/cm³
Dry carbon also offers a much higher modulus of elasticity (~125 GPa), giving it outstanding rigidity under stress — ideal for aerodynamic and high-load components.
Visual & Structural Differences
-
Backside: A true dry carbon piece will look identical front and back — you can see the same woven pattern throughout.
Wet carbon or fiberglass-backed parts often have a dull, uneven underside with visible fiberglass texture or color variation. -
Edges: Solid dry carbon has clean, uniform black edges.
Wet carbon or overlay parts may show a white or grey line along the edge, revealing the fiberglass underneath — sometimes hidden with black paint trim. - Finish: Dry carbon typically has a consistent matte or satin finish, while wet carbon can appear glossy but uneven due to hand-applied resin.
