    Front Bumper cover Removal

    they are aluminum split rivets on most models .If you just take some side cutters to the split part and snip the mand then pull out the reamining part of the rivet its easy. The bumper is supposed to actually snap out from the fender bracket and leave the retainer In place but they are put on...

    Help! suspension control modual

    I don't think you can just replace two shocks with non mag? That's a new one for me. We do all 4 but the module has to be working to turn off the safety system speed limiter.

    Front Bumper cover Removal

    ok. I normally have the lights out if replacing it but I am 90% sure you don't have to. just pull the grill with the bumper to make the grill easier to come off . I will look In j ust a bit on one that is off to make sure there are no clips on the top of the bumper under the headlight.

    the power steering pump is a little hard to get to. You have to remove the pulley to get to the bolts that hold it on. Be sure to use the right puller to not damage the pully. You can get one at autozone to borrow should you decide to do the job. I will send you the right number if you do it...

    New paint.

    I use ppg as I get a good deal. People do not realize that he doors being smc grow the same in all directions when it gets warm. the fenders and 1/4 panels grow front to rear . that's why a door gap may get bigger or smaller in the heat. That's also why the fender and 1/4 bolts even thought tiny...

    Why a Cadillac XLR brakelight can cost more than a used Corolla

    Beaver that is exactly why I sell parts at what they are worth. I have paid it forward all my life and will drive 100 miles to give someone something they need before I throw it away..

    Why a Cadillac XLR brakelight can cost more than a used Corolla

    So I read this to mean that someone is going to help out a fellow member with a taillight for no charge because that is the thing to do. Used parts centers that sell parts invest hundreds of thousands to buy parts and make a profit. The market has always on anything set the value. Too high...

    wet you a rag and wipe the fenders in that area. Not all had that wave as they are molded plastic but some did Eastwood makes a good paint .The base is much less important with an overall paint job. I might cut corners on base when doing an all over and not worried about a match ( be sure to...

    XLR's on Docket @ 2020 B-J Scottsdale auction,,,,

    an 06 and 07 with that low miles ought to bring a good price. Shame they did not drive them more as I doubt the same car with 10K miles would bring any more money. That's bunch of cars for one auction.
