    2006 XLR-V Pop in left front when changing elevation

    Did they replace the ride adjuster also? They should have been able to tell what it was before replacing a part like a spring. Pretty much the spring adjusters or a ball joint . both easy to check

    A couple of general questions

    Both engines are the same. Have no idea what be is talking about. Most northstsrs in the 90's were front wheel drive and they are the ones with the head bolt issues. In 2004 gm fixed that problem 90%. Engines after that period go for 200,000 miles plus. They must not be run hot. There are a few...

    Very odd Carfax report

    Whats good now is most shops do a prerepair scan that will tell almost everything wrong with the car and how long its been going on. Then the insurance can easily tell what was going on before the accident and have proof. Solves a whole lot of disputes.

    Very odd Carfax report

    Not sure about this one but having managed collisioj centers for years its not uncommon for people who get hit to claim their transmission does nit work, the wreck dtopped up their catalytic converter the radio has static, the tires wore out stc. So a top malfunction claim sounds about right...

    Carbon Fiber Steering Wheel for my 2006 XLR-V made by TTD Craft

    Oh ok . well its hard to tell in a photo. It just looks like they overlapped the carbon on the front side. It just looks way to busy for me but i like it. Just not something i would buy. I do like the leather and the chopped bottom.

    Lower bumper breakaway shield ???

    Who know what they do . they keep air from under the car? i dot know. I know i used to tell my trainees in the shop, when i would find pieces left off, the factory puts very few parts on that are not needed. If a part costs a dollar and they sell 100,000 cars thats a pretty good savings just by...

    Recall

    There was several recalls across the gm line i believe. Some did not apply to the xlr and a couple only applied to certain cars. There was a recall on some of the fuel systems but its long closed to get anything done. Dont know that one but special coverage usually means if you paid to have...

    Refurbished Headlights

    Then stay away from 04-05 lens unless you see one really cheap. They all interchange but 06 started a better material. They just did not bond them well and 100s blew off. Thats why we have no spares. They all got used up on warranty when they were newer

    Refurbished Headlights

    It would be a good candidate for a lens if anyone made them. You did not list the year of your car. Id watch for a parts light on ebay like i said that has all the electronics corroded and find someone to swap the lens.

    Refurbished Headlights

    Theres a guy making them on another forum or somewhere i read. But until i see them ill hold from endorsement. In the last 4-5 years id say theres been at least a dozen people claiming to make them. no one does. It a difficult bonding process to secure the outer lens. Its also a very limited...

    Carbon Fiber Steering Wheel for my 2006 XLR-V made by TTD Craft

    Wow. It does look good but that i think that carbon weave would make me dizzy. Haha. Seems they should have seamed it on the backside. But i do like the cut down wheel

    top device

    Well you can buy a tech two scanner for about 300$ and it will aid you in finding out what is wrong. You may not need it depending on what the car is doing. There are several simple switchs that can keep the top from opening

    Yeah run from that one. This is one of the cases where people buy a car stuff some foam behind tge damage and try and make it look better than it is. Id say if you did your own work the parts to fix this one would run 6-8000. Youd have in it close to what you can buy a better one with a clear...
