This information should help the OP and others interested in Vette wheels. I gathered you have 20x9 front and 20x10 rear C5 wheels. You said 265 tire on rears. Can you provide exact size tires on front and rear? With that any of us can adjust for height and width in sizes depending if we want...

I agree the answer to Corvette wheels fitting the XLR are mostly gray. If your close with this friend as if you can try one of the rear wheel and tires on your XLR. This would provide us all with a solid answer. The best I have found it stock base model Corvette wheel do fit. I'm uncertain if...

These leaks are common to all North Stars. It is said our XLR's has been upgraded (I don't trust that GM did so) from the rest I'm new to the XLR however not new to the North Star engine. The list provided is very accurate by my experience. I have experienced them all including head gaskets on 2...

We have a 1993 SL 500 and I think it's a POS. Parts are way too high and local Mercedes doesn't support it at all. I have a small shop guy that specializes in MB and Porche. Got our XLR a couple months ago and I think is a great car. Yes we may face the problem with lites at some point but that...

Thanks for clearing thi up for me. I had tried to answer this myself by looking at color charts. Some colors look gray on line when I know they are not. I now know my car is Raven Black with Shale interior and cashmere dash top and trim.

My 2005 has a beige interior with a darker dash top and trim. I have Freire to figure out if this interior is cashmere. Is the beige color cashmere and the darker color shale?

Thanks! I will be patient.

This is a guess. I would suspect the oil in air filters as mentioned and the E3 plugs. North stars don't seem to like improved plugs. I put a set of Bosh Platnums in another Northstar thinking of prevention and improved performance. The result was misfire at random times and I took it to...

Sounds like a solution in the making. Maybe some has a damaged tail light or head light assy that they could donate to the cause. I have had many classics in my life and all of them have had parts issues. It's only the high volume classics the receive attention in masses. Many early Cadillacs...

My 2005 XLR has the Eucalyptus wood trim interior and some time in its life the steering wheel was changed as it has a darker rose wood look. I am looking for the correct wood color with cashmere leather and while looking on eBay I found a new 2008 wheel in correct colors. However I do see it...

Yes I looked at that also. A local shop quoted $1000 for a Kenwood with backup camera. I like that system and wanted to explore options before committing. I looked at Bluefusion as one option. It allows the hands free and streaming with origiinal steel. Thanks for reply. Just learning what can...

I am very interested in this mod. Will this mod also allow streaming music from your phone? Once all is sorted out I would be happy to contribute or purchase a list of part numbers and instructions on this mod. I am capable of installing just not capable of sorting the needs.

Thank you. I will look at it and make sure it clean. I will also look at the sensor that sunshine mentioned. Thank you both.

I'm the proud new owner of my first XLR. It's a beautiful well maintained black/cashmere with 80k miles. Runs drives and looks like new. I have had multiple Corvettes and Cadillacs over the years. This car is best of both worlds. However I do have a tech question. My cruise control will not...
