Where to Find the Trim Code for Cadillac CTS?
Trim codes and paint codes are located on the Service Parts Identification (SPID) sticker. Here’s a detailed guide on where to find these codes:
Service Parts Identification Sticker
- Location: The SPID sticker can be found in several locations within the vehicle. For Cadillac CTS models, the primary locations are:
- Spare tire cover or spare tire wheel well.
- Glove box.
- Driver-side door pillar.
- Under the spare tire in the trunk.
- Appearance: The sticker is typically a white paper in older models, while more modern ones may have a silver label. It contains various codes for the vehicle, including the paint and trim codes.
Reading the Codes
- Paint Codes: Most Cadillac paint codes start with "WA", but the codes on the vehicle will usually begin with "BC/CC U", where:
- BC/CC: Stands for Basecoat/Clearcoat.
- U: Denotes the upper or body color.
- For two-tone models, "U" will be followed by the four-digit color code for the body, and "L" will be followed by the four-digit color code for the lower or bumper color.
- Interior Trim Codes: These codes are often found in the bottom right of the sticker and are one of the RPO (Regular Production Option) codes. They typically end in the letter "I".
By identifying and understanding these codes, you can accurately match the original paint and trim colors for any restoration or repair work on your Cadillac CTS.
