    05' XLR BASE RAVEN BLACK, RUNS BEAUTIFULLY!!! $16,500

    It was my car. It ended up selling for $15k. I told the buyer that it’s the best car you could ever get for that price. I was sad to see it go.

    Gas Cap Door Solenoid

    Yes. The washer did it for me. Try the light oil first. If it doesn’t work then go the washer route.

    Gas Cap Door Solenoid

    WD-40 isn’t much of a lube. It’s meant to displace water. I would try a light sewing machine oil first and / or adding a spacer. The problem with oils is diet and dust like to stock to them compounding your problem.

    Help! Paint Job

    Thanks. The insurance company wouldn't buy off on a total respray, but did suggest I find a shop specializing in color / fade matching. I am starting that search in my area to see what may be available. Triple black would be nice as I am not a huge fan of the Raven black, but unfortunately...

    Some %^&**^^ keyed my xlr today. I have contacted my insurance and they (of course) suggested a few body shops. The scratch covers the rear quarter panel, door, and front fender. I was curious if there is anything special I should know being that the body materials are both fiberglass and...

    XLR Performance

    Where can the headers for the base XLR be found? Can the 2005 be tuned? I thought that I had read in other posts that it couldn't.

    Gas Cap Door Solenoid

    I finally got around to fixing this issue and have to thank ald42 for the excellent advice. This was a fairly straight forward fix that, with the proper instruction (thanks again). I removed the drivers side rear wheel, and then the inner fender wall. Next I removed the nut for the gas door...

    Custom Paint or not?

    I would paint it to whatever color / design you would like. I've been wrestling with the idea of painting mine matte black. Any more car dings and I think I will pull the trigger.

    Gas Cap Door Solenoid

    The solenoid to my gas cap door has failed. The finger will retract, but it wont pop back out which prevents the door from being secured. Has anyone else attempted this repair themselves? From the info I could obtain it seems like this solenoid is pretty difficult to get to.
