Did you end up ordering them from the dealer? I remember looking for some spares, and my local dealership said they were on something like a (28) week backorder at the time.

Are you referring to the Black Series wheels?

Bodyshop confirmed no frame damage—which was my biggest concern. The fitment issues are primarily from the fiberglass kit being fiberglass and not coming with any brackets or mounts.
This is what the car looked like before purchase:
Also, curious that that’s the only thing you could point out in this Black Series build 😉
How was your car totalled from a minor front end collision? I had a front end collision that ended up costing like 18k in repairs and still wasn't totalled, like 3 years ago.

Literally the exact opposite. Much like the Gen 2 CTS-V, the coup looks like they built half a sedan then said screw it and quit. The high rear end on such a short car is just goofy looking. The coup is also heavier than the sedan due to the panoramic roof.
Also trying to call someone poor or flex on them when you own a rebuilt titled version of basically the same car is craaaaaazy lmao.
Furthermore your price comparisons are purposefully misleading... You only compare PFL sedans to FL coups...
