I think the Max-Din looks great and has all of the right features! I appreciate your candor in the video, and fully understand the process you're going through. I just wish I had the money to buy one of these! Thanks for doing this!

Not sure if you are still around, but thanks for posting this! I went to replace my door courtesy / puddle lights with LEDs, and was surprised that the bayounet socket that the car comes with will not work for LEDs. Summit Racing still has these sockets, and I've ordered two of them. Thanks!

You've got one sharp looking car! The red brake calipers are a nice addition. I'm no longer on the fence about the window tinting... I'm definitely going to have it done before Spring. Thanks!

Matching the body color looks really good! Thanks for posting that! I like the window tint too... can you post a 3/4 rear and side picture with windows up? I'm definitely wanting mine tinted.

Even before I bought this car, I always wondered why the rear license plate panel was gray and not black. There is no other part of the exterior that is gray, and it really looks like an old used tire; rather than carbon fiber. So, I took some tire shine to it.... Just kidding. I did give it...

Answering my own question.... '04 and '05 have the five wire headlights; as they do not have the headlight steering and auto-leveling motors. That was a disappointment for sure. My wife's '07 Lexus IS350 has the moving headlights, and it is really cool to see them move slightly. So, all...

I found a place that sells vinyl in GM Medium Neutral: https://perfectfit.com/products/monticello-endurasoft-gm-vinyl?variant=41522938085494 I also found a place that sells leather in GM Medium Neutral, but they only sell a whole hide... I really only need a half-hide...

So, there are a lot of interior colors for the 5 years the XLR ran! I knew for sure that my main interior color is Shale from the RPO code 15L "Shale Interior Trim" However, I was only about 90% confident that my secondary interior color is Medium Neutral. After a bit of poking around, I...

First, those VLED V6 Extreme bulbs look really great! I've recently searched the ends of the internet looking for anything else that might be close.... no luck. These are almost certainly the best option for these cars, and for those wanting to go the extra mile, they even have a cooling fan...

All XLRs are 315 MHz and ID 46. There are lots of remotes that are 315 MHz, but don't have the ID 46 or say "not for cars with push button start". Those are for cars like the DTS, CTS, SRX, etc. You can get a newer remote from a C6 Corvette, but double check the frequency. I'm not sure, but...

Other than the Lloyd Floor Mats, this is my first "upgrade" on this 20 year old car. When I bought the '05 XLR, it did not have a physical / door key... only one key fob. These old '04-'07 BVLGARI / Bulgari key fobs are not only difficult to find, but very expensive for one in good condition...

I ordered a set of Lloyd Mats as soon as I won the auction for my '05 XLR. They finally arrived today, and they look great and fit perfect. I was worried about the color being off, but I believe that I ordered the closest matching color. Let me know what you think. These are the Luxe with...

Wow! Those two 50's cars are amazing! Sounds like you got a great deal on the Nomad! When I was 18, I did a complete "frame-off" rebuild on an '89 IROC-Z Camaro, plus a lot of modern upgrades. After owning it (or it owning me) for about 16 years, I sold it to a kid for almost nothing. I've...

I'm also a new owner, and still learning a lot... what do you plan on doing to the torque tube? Is it loud or having a vibration?

Wow! 55' Nomad sounds like a nice project! I imagine you could be out a lot of money modernizing it.
