    What did you do to / with your XLR today?

    you really need to paint the bumpers off the car. you may not get enough base in and around the areas where they meet up wit the fender and !/4 and don't paint over your backup sensors or they may not work. they can only stand one painting before they loose their function.

    supercharging my xlr

    with worn out rings and leaky valves its most likely dropped from 10.5 to 9.5 by now on a well worn used engine. haha a good quality copper head gasket would most likely lower it to 10 to one but I really dont think its worth doing

    J & J Autow Wrecking

    they used to be really good several years ago and their prices were very fair. they seem to ask top dollar now as in 200 for a top module? you can get them from the dealer new for under 700 but they do stand behind their products very well and I have never bought a bad part from them.

    Looking for, rubber cover behind lower grille driver side

    it does not cover the cruise module. its just there to keep air towards the radiator. The person that shows one on ebay hardly ever has any parts that he claims. He just lists numbers and may or may not have them. On good thing is when you order and he has to refund your money it now costs him...

    I agree . The cheaper 04 and 05 will not make up for the cost of parts that are specific to those two years . I think the best bang for the buck will be an 07 08 with reasonable miles Depends on how much you plan on driving it. The cost to put miles on it is rather cheap. brakes , hoses , most...

    05' XLR Power Steering hose needed

    If I knew it all I would not have went to get a hose to look at and find out why the one listed that it called for would not fit. you said you got the one in the photo and it would not fit and you could not get the correct hose anywhere. You said the dealer checked and there were none...

    State of the Union Address - XLR Net - 2020

    I see you get most of them that are listed on a couple of sites like the auctions for totals but I don't see them from craigslist ads. I have sent listings with vins several times but they did not get listed. Do you have to have permission on private sales to list them?

    Console Cover Lid

    No you cannot get any parts for the door. The only way is to buy a used lid when they come available. If you pry apart the lid and do so without braking it ,you still cannot do anything but take the latch out. The latch is molded together and does not come apart.
