No they never did offer chrome wheels, but you used to be able to do an exchange program with LA Wheel and Tire. Checking with them recently, they did not have any in stock. You may be able to send yours in and have them done though. There is also Detroit wheel that offered the same service...

Everything you need to know is in this thread: 15th year BG plant homecoming reunion Sept 26 - 28 2018

As mickeytee stated, the XLR didn't have a place for the tow hook, except for overseas models. The C7 Corvettes in the Grand Sport and Z06 models have both front and rear locations for the tow hooks.

There were quite a few of us at the 10 year event and only current GM people from the Bowling Green plant were around. Unfortunately the XLR wasn't being built any longer, so there was nobody to talk to about discontinued parts back then and there won't be anybody there to talk to about...

Unfortunately, I do not see an aftermarket company taking up building XLR parts anytime soon. With a total production of just under 17,000 vehicles, the cost to design and build replacement parts far exceeds the potential profits they could reap selling to such a small market. Aftermarket...

Yes, the plan for Saturday is the Bowling Green Assembly Corvette Club car show. I've got the info for the Saturday Corvette Club car show. Register at: Bowling Green Assembly Corvette Club - Home I've also updated the itinerary docx in the itinerary thread section. As stated in the itinerary...

I feel your pain, but you will get nowhere on this issue, no matter how many you get to raise your concerns. GM went bankrupt after they ceased building the XLR. Mary was also not the CEO at that time, so that is two strikes against you on getting anything done. GM does not look back, they are...

Great to see everyone signing up! It will be awesome to see all our 'XLR friends' again and meet new ones as well. Still miss Scarlett-V, but the new Z06 is an incredible beast! And yes Sandy, we will be bringing it! Wishing for great mild weather and safe travels for everyone! See you all in...

Last day of the 15th Homecoming XLR owners, don't forget to register for the BGACC car show. It is a great event in the parking lot of the Corvette Assembly Plant and they put this on to raise funds for charity. Dave Chrisley said there is only one XLR registered so far. Go to the link Chad has...

Being this is posted in a V thread, I'm assuming your car is a V. Both the positive and negative cables show as discontinued. Maybe they have some in stock. I know the positive cable cost me over $100.00 when I bought it several years ago as a spare, along with the negative cable. The positive...

Found a few more items and added them to the original list.

Chad, the car show is on Saturday.

Was going to buy an ATS-V sedan until I found out they were going to discontinue them, along with the CTS! and thought to myself, why do I want three discontinued Cadillacs. That's when I bought the Z06! Seems like Cadillac and Ford think everyone wants SUV's or crossovers, not sedans or coupes.

I had this happen years ago on my '06 XLR-V while we were on a trip. I could not put the top down or open the trunk except by the key in the bumper. I myself deduced it was the trunk latch. (15847487) Same part number for all years. Once I replaced that, had no other issue. If you have the...

Another option many have done is an HID conversion. There is a thread on this site with detailed instructions. Search fog light conversion. I actually did it on the V I sold several years ago. I think the lamps are 9045, so you want the conversion for that lamp, not an H3, or your lighting...

Email me pictures of what you are looking for, I my be able to help. I have exhaust from the catalytic converters back from a base 2004 and a 2006 V. I'll research the '04 exhaust to see if it is the same and let you know. Email me a cubby558@me.com

Paul, Hope you have a great turn out for the event. As an ex owner, we had many trips with enthusiastic XLR owners over the years. It's a different generation involved now and doesn't seem to be the same. Try to make it down to Bowling Green in September and you will meet a lot of the old...

If you have a V, try the usual places........gmpartsdirect.com etc. If you don't have a V, E&G makes a compatible mesh grille that looks great. I had one on my '04.

Tires are one of the most important components of your vehicle, whether it is used everyday, or even if you car is a collector and/or a garage queen! Always makes sure your tires are up to date and have the correct tire inflation before getting on the road. The life you save, may be your own! I...

The V calipers are beautiful, why would you want to cover them. Get them powder coated and enjoy them. 👀 Check out my pics below, both have powder coated calipers!
