    Does anyone have a front hide-a-plate on their XLR?

    I live in Illinois so a front plate is required. I was thinking about the hide-a-plate for my car. I see them on corvettes all the time. Anyone have any experience or have one installed on their XLR?

    I finally figured out what happened. Some previous owner had issues with the top not working so he decided to move the sensor from the drivers side to the passenger side and that is why there was a homemade jumper wire where there was not supposed to be one.

    Exhaust smell in drivers seat - anybody else?

    I was wondering if anybody else had this issue. When the top is down and I do a hard acceleration from 0-60 I can smell the exhaust in the drivers seat. It fills up the interior and takes a little bit to dissipate. I imagine a vacuum is created from the rear of the car pulling the exhaust up...

    Ride control module is unobtanium, has anybody used a vette F55 controller?

    My car had 2 problems, the module was fried and my rear leaf spring was almost cracked in half. My car was really "floaty" and felt like the rear was losing traction every time I hit a large bump.
