My vehicle was “totaled” and I bought it back and did the front end myself. This video was posted 1 month afterwards and it would have been very helpful.

This man is the truest youruber, literally helped me find out the issue with my cadillac cts just when I asked him on Instagram. He took the time did a research and responded to. Much respect. Other people won't even open ur message for a question. Great guy right here straight Genuine

Just bought a 2014 Cadillac CTS (32k miles) . I've been binge watching your vids. So many tips and advice for how to customize/mod your vehicle. Even though I'm not gonna be doing as much as you have done with your Vsport. I greatly appreciate you showing the easy stuff such as splitters, skideskirts, grill replacements, lights, etc. The stuff that is fairly straight forward and don't need someone else to do it for you. All this has shown me all the cool stuff I can do

[jessenunez]

I’ve been waiting to change the front grill for the longest and I’ve been watching all your videos for Cadillac mods. I don’t know what I’d do without you for real 😭🙏🏽. The final part comes in Wednesday. I plan on installing everything this Sunday.

[bizerker]

Wow, It just makes such a difference. Looks soooo sharp! Easily makes a person want to say "Show me your grill!"

[RudyP]

I don't even have a Cadillac but still enjoyed the video. Nice work!

[dHAVOKb]

Great content and well produced video Danial! As much as I would love to swap my grill for a mesh, this looks like a lot and I don’t have the patience anymore. Think I’ll look into just getting the chrome inserts painted or wrapped. Keep up the great work and show me your grill!

[gregorymiller]

Show me your grille!

Great to see that you're still giving your V-Sport some love. Excellent video, as always! Best wishes!

[Matty_ice]

Honestly, love the way you shoot your content. Just happened to stumble upon it this evening. Very detailed and concise.

[aintaken]

Love your channel! Great place to get information on cts mods! Thanks!

In 2016, I bought my 2016 Cadillac CT6 Platinum 3.0tt AWD from a Cadillac dearship. I had the mesh grill put on and I started having trouble with my Night Vision and other road sensoring that's around the front grill area. Long story short, the dealership had my car for 3 months trying to reset the night vision camera when it was the grill that was throwing off the sensors due to sensors wasn't able to see thru the grill. Long story short, I had to get my orignal grill put back on for the road sensors to work . The following year, Cadillac moved the Cameras for the sensors to allow mesh grills to work for the CT6.
