    Any tips on reviving rubber mouldings.

    I used silicone grease (Dielectric grease at any auto parts store), recommended in owner's manual on my 2005 and it made a huge difference. Cheap too, but use sparingly and wipe off excess.

    Custom Plates

    Thanks for all the suggestions. I agree that a Prius doesn't look at all like a Bat Mobile and I couldn't believe that was the car that had the plates (neither could the girl at the DMV) but it does and even if they give them up they aren't available for 2 years. Oh well. I do like Bat Cad...

    Custom Plates

    I realize this isn't technical stuff but want to get custom License Plates for my XLR's. I have thought and thought but can't come up with any good ones and don't want to reuse any of yours. I really wanted BAT MBL for the black 05 but it was already taken by a Toyota Prius. Evidently in KY...

    Wind Restrictor

    Thanks 05 Grand Daddy. Don't know if I care about the multicolor but I want everything else. I want to be able to turn it off as needed and dim it. Those are the 2 most important things to me. I am sure Mark can wire it. Maybe I should do the multicolor to get everything I want. BTW, PM your FB...

    1st long road trip = impressed, except for

    It was really great meeting you and Victor-V in BG. Glad you had a safe trip home. Wish we could have stayed longer and gotten to know everyone better. Maybe next time. Everyone make us feel welcome. Loved seeing all the XLR's together. It was definitely worth the trip and I personally think the...

    Wind Restrictor

    That is the spelling that was on the XLR Homecoming directory. Glad to know it was incorrect. I'm sure it was just a typo. But you may be known by that name now.

    Wind Restrictor

    After seeing everyone's Wind Restrictor at the XLR Homecoming I definately have to have one. The King Penn is my choice. I'm thinking about using the battery pack with a dimmer. Mark may disagree but he is out of town on a business trip and I am sure I will get his thoughts when he returns. I...

    Do CD Players Need to be Saved?

    I like CD players too but really surprised the 09 XLR doesn't have the capability of playing mp3's (at least I don't think it does, nothing in owner's manual) or have an auxillary jack to plug in an iPod, etc. My 09 Nissan Altima has both and I was a bit disappointed that the XLR didn't have...

    2013 XLR Bowling Green Plant Homecoming - Sept 28th, 2013

    Plan to arrive in BG at noon or 1 pm Friday. Should we just meet everyone at the NCM or is there something else scheduled before 3 pm?

    Homecoming 2013 info

    Can't wait to get there and meet all of you. Also, really want to check out your modifications. Haven't done anything for mine yet because I want to see what you all have done first. I have wanted to buy several things but thought I would wait.

    Happy to be New XLR-V owners and new members of the XLR Net Forum

    Question, how does water get in the left quarter panel of the trunk? I am asking because my 09 had an issue with water that the dealer said was due to HVAC drain being plugged and caused the body control module to fail, shutting everything down, happened when I drove the car home after purchase...

    2013 XLR Bowling Green Plant Homecoming - Sept 28th, 2013

    Would have loved to do the plant tour (maybe some other time with the Vette) but we can't leave home until Friday morning and plan to meet up with everyone at the NCM at 3 pm. Have our reservation at Hilton Garden Inn Friday night with Hilton points. Can't wait to meet all of you!

    HUD and Polorized glasses

    I tried turning my head but with my Bolle' sunglasses still can't see the HUD until late in the evening, with Ray-Ban's (which I assume are polarized since all the pilots I know use them) I can see the HUD all the time. The Bolle' glasses are much darker tinted so that may have something to do...

    2013 XLR Bowling Green Plant Homecoming - Sept 28th, 2013

    Homecoming Schedule Is there an actual schedule of events posted anywhere? Saw the plant tour is scheduled for Friday AM and we can't make that but should be there sometime Friday afternoon and don't want to miss anything.

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

    I always have the dealer remove their sticker/plate before purchase. I tell them I will be happy to have a rear plate that has their name but that is all. Then I remove that. No need for free advertisment for the dealer.

    Thinking of a 2nd XLR daily Driver

    Had a little time to look at the 2005 we bought over the weekend. I really think I like it better than the 2009. I really like the front grille. The interior is in great shape as is the exterior. It seems to drive a bit differently, more like a luxury car. If I had seen this one first I probably...

    Thinking of a 2nd XLR daily Driver

    Found the driver XLR but still probably won't drive it in the rain or park it at Wal-Mart unless in the outer edges of the parking lot. This is a 2005 Roadster Black with ebony interior 26000 miles and in excellant shape. I would say mint but the driver seat needs a little work. Probably ok for...
