Clean shirt, new shoes
And I don’t know where I am goin’ to.
Silk suit, black tie,
I don’t need a reason why.

The new 2010 Cadillac SRX is a sharp looking vehicle out of the box.  But what if you do want to give your new SRX a more dressed up, custom look?  Here’s one approach:

Although generally I am not a huge fan of aftermarket chrome, the SRX pic above does look good to me.  Cadillac is moving in this same direction with chrome accents.  Tasteful chrome touches — especially with contrasting colors like the Crystal Red Tintcoat — certainly ‘pop’.

Automobile Magazine covers D3 Cadillac CTS Body Kit

Automobile Magazine has a nice mention of the D3 Cadillac body kit for the 2008+ Cadillac CTS.  Good to see them get more glossy press.

D3 is an aftermarket supplier for appearance and performance modifications for Cadillac vehicles.  From their website:

D3 Limited Edition Cadillacs are considered “world class” and rival the likes of AMG, Brabus, Lorinser, RennTech, etc. We provide the outlet for customers to dispense their passion for driving while keeping them in a Cadillac Brand Vehicle.

Nice Company they aim to keep. I don’t think that D3 has achieved the stature of say AMG, but I like the way they are thinking.

And their business goals:

Our goals are to be the leader in design and development for demonstration and conceptual vehicle builds. We strive to make everything we do a new standard in each respective industry. Our goals can be summed up by these five examples.

  • Cutting Edge Technology
  • Refined Ingenuity
  • Unsurpassed Quality
  • Leading The Industry
  • Continuously raising the bar

… are Goals that nicely resonate with how one might describe Cadillac as well.

Here is a shot of a stock 2009 Cadillac CTS then the D3 body kit shots for comparison:
