for that price something had to be wrong with the Star Black car That was just way too low for an 06 Star Black car. Even somewhat rough it would be worth that. Airmike is right, the V is the way to go, I drove his and it's way more fun than a base model. I bought a very low mileage Star...

Anyone know of GM part number (or where to get or even idea's) 2006 Star Black base XLR, my shift knob cracked and as the car is almost perfect, I want to get it either fixed, replaced or whatever. Any knowledge on this would be appreciated, I have not yet even been able to come up with a GM...

Well dang it, mine is cracked on a 10k miles star black car. Does anyone have one they want to sell, know the part number or have any idea's at all. The car is perfect, I just can't stand this cracked knob:blinzel:

I would stay with the 2006 and up models, bugs seem to have been worked out I looked for a year and finally found a very nice star black limited model with 9k miles on it (2006). Get your checkbook out if you want a sharp one with low miles, they don't give them away very often. I looked at...

My buddy found his V car He got a nice one, not as clean as mine, but very nice and those V cars are fast as heck. Mine looks better, but his is sure faster:laugh:

Parts came in today Now we'll put them on this weekend and see what it does. I cheated and purchased a 4 post lift a couple of months ago, should have bought one a long time ago. That should make it really easy!

I can't resist Well here is some news for all. In 2004 our local GM plant started buying all pneumatic components from SMC corporation based in Japan, we lost about $350,000.00 a year customer that was buying at the lowest price of any of our customers. Now the majority of our suppliers are...

Parts on order from GM parts direct since April 25th Well, so far no luck with GM parts direct, I ordered on 4.25.12. No reply as to when they are going to come in, so these might just be hard get get now darn it. Any other suggestions? So far, I can't get them to even respond to my...

Just insulation kit is available from Elite Engr Thanks Steve, I will check them out. And yes, we could sell you just the aluminumized insulation sheet. I think it's about $130.00 from our website. Thank you, Steve Elite Engineering, LLC www.EliteEngineeringUSA.com OK, this is what I found...

curious about shock costs from old Grand Daddy Just being nosy, I've heard the shocks for the XLR are really expensive. What kind of money did those set you back if you don't mind my asking.:blinzel:

Tunel plate I just wonder if adding some of the Dyno Mat product would produce some lower heat radiation to the console. Interesting and fairly inexpensive thought, bet it could be done for less than $100.00 and a couple of hours of time.

First hot day in KC since getting the XLR I noticed quite a bit of heat coming from the colsole area. It seems that is pretty normal with these cars, do you all agree on that (a little over 90 here today Kansas City). I saw the upgrade on the heavy duty tunel cover, has anyone tried that and...

You talked me into it, just ordered the parts Ordered from GMpartsdirect.com Total price with freight was $174.93 It will be interesting to see how the order goes. Thanks to all for the part numbers and input for this change, I fully appreciate your efforts.:)

Well, I found the XLR I was looking for and now a buddy of mine is looking for a mint XLR-V model (he just has to be faster than me;) Let me know if any of you know of anything. He will be looking for mint condition, low mileage, history and reasonable price. He wants it all. Thanks

I pulled the trigger and it got better I called Costco to sign up. Free interest, I paid $192.80 downpayment and $96.40 per month for 18 months. Total is the exact same if I paid cash for it $1,928.00 (I got the 0 deductible). PLUS, I got the 72 month, 60 K mileage. Well shoot, they added my...
