Maybe I was looking in the wrong places, but all the reconditioned bumper covers I found for these cars were the same or cost more than new? So I figured it was a better option to go new.

I don't know, there are always options and I think someone will come up with a alternative. I thought about welding up some inserts and painting them body color just to be different. I think these cars are starting to come way down on price, so the customizers may start doing some interesting stuff?

Yes it will be interesting to see if the engine temps drop, I know that Northstar in that confined space sure seemed like it ran warm. I think I am going to paint the grill black, so I planned on keeping this vent black too just to keep them matching and kinda give it a "road rally" type look.

Hood vent I was browsing some Corvette hood vents, and found this one for a C6, I thought it fit the hood design of the XLR very well. So while I was doing the repaint I decided I would add a little more detail to the hood. I just like a little customization, I also opened up the grill so it...

I just removed my front bumper cover on my 04, I have no idea how this is mounted compared to other years. But there were no clips holding the bumper under the headlights. The hardest part of getting the bumper off was the pop rivets holding the bumper to the fender, the wheel well liner needs...

Absolutely, we were always told the polymer panels could move +- 3mm, so that was why there was so much variation in the panels that attached to our doors. This was always a issue for the assembly plant, they were constantly chasing this issue.

That's interesting you compare the Saturn to these cars, about 2002 I worked for a company that made the Saturn L-series doors, and I was responsible for them. GM was doing a FE build on these cars, but no one could understand why because we knew they were fazing the car out of production. GM...

Yes, I assume they are the stock 04 bumper covers, I ordered them and supplied the VIN #, is there a difference between bumpers? I haven't noticed the waves in the fenders, or the door gaps, I will check these areas out better. But I did notice the passenger door doesn't line up perfectly with...

Hi everyone! Decided to give my XLR a new paint job, just wanted to replace both front and rear bumper covers and get rid of a few imperfections. Also want to change the color a little, keep it silver but add a little more metallic. incidentally I ordered two new bumper covers because they are...

Thank you, I had the headlight assembly out a few weeks ago to fix a bulb, I assumed the DRL lens was part of the housing. I will have to give this a try.

How is the DRL lens removed?

Thanks for the information everyone! I will be needing a new lower grill, I also plan on replacing the whole front bumper cover, it has been hit in a few spots and probably beyond repair. I plan on doing those repairs this winter. I will look into getting the taillights repaired this winter...

Hello everyone, glad this site is around to support these cars! I've always wanted one of these cars ever since I saw them at the GM Tech Center being used to put the assembly lines together in 2002, I knew them as the Evoq then. I just finally decided to get one now that the prices have come...
