Bought my 2016 Cadillac ATS 2.0 Performance AWD sedan with the intentions of doing something different than everyone else. So I set out to do my interpretation of an OEM + build.
Overview video:
I acquired the Cadillac Accessories body kit
Cadillac Accessories exhaust
Cadillac Accessories black chrome grill
Did a street tune with Coopers Camaro
added some colder plugs (ITV22)
a no name silicone intake tube
AEM Dryflow filter
Lamin-x lower light covers
ATS-V style rear trunk spoiler
Aeroforce technologies scan gauge
Aeroforce technologies vent pod
BC Racing Coilovers
Eibach rear swaybar
Renick Performance front chassis brace
Then I found this awesome site http://www.mods4alpha.com
The owner Lee was super knowledgeable on parts from other Cadillac models that would easily retrofit to the ATS. I was like this is PERFECT. Exactly what I wanted.
So over the course of the next few months I added:
OEM Power folding mirrors from a ATS-L in china
OEM European CTS fog light with reverse lights
Live view rear view mirror setup
Which I did a how to for:
White Automotive Media Services sells a CTS Digital gauge and programming to your VIN. I HAD to have that. Such a great mod.

Then I found a guy selling a OEM rear big brake with Brembo calipers setup. Bought those but havnt installed yet.
Then came the (to me) holy grail piece. In china the ATS-L is a bigger bodied ATS. They have an OEM cup holder cover. Not available or orderable anywhere else. After 2 years I was able to acquire a contact and have access to the pieces. I ordered the cup holder cover and dash top which I will retrofit in the spring. Super excited for this
