    top 5 "must do" upgrades/fixes for the XLR

    SILVER Die Cast XLR V.

    Mesh Grille I am using mesh from an anti-splatter frying pan cover. I found one with very fine openings. The holes are directional and the big problem is getting an exact fit even with templates. I use a hole punch for the Caddy crest. My grille does not seem to be plastic but it may be...

    SILVER Die Cast XLR V.

    Norev Die Cast Great. I would like to see photos of it as I have a friend in the UK who could watch for me. I often wondered about your Crossfire, particularly the name as it was used by GM on their 1982 Corvette engine with Fuel Injection. I would have thought it would be trademarked. I...

    Splitter Bling

    Adaptive Cruise Control My '08 is the 'base' model with only the 'V' grilles unfortunately. I haven't removed the covers beside the air intake to check, but I do believe the ACC sensors are the ones visible in the bumper facia. I will check the Service Manual sometime to be sure. I don't...

    Splitter Bling

    Sensors I am not sure, but I believe they are for the Adaptive Cruise Control, which works very well. It is a 2008 model. I had read somewhere that those sensors were behind the opaque plastic covers on either side of the lower grille - perhaps on earlier models. Apparently those sensors...

    Not for everyone of course! I had some 16ga. (0.060"±) Stainless bent to about 87º and formed to fit the double compound lines of the lower splitter of the XLR bumper. Not an easy task! I had the leading edge buffed as smooth as possible and drilled and deburred holes that tightly fit the SS...
