    Help! C6 wheels

    1BADXLR - I found these wheels/tires locally: CORVETTE C6 WHEELS AND TIRES LIKE NEW 18-19 - British Columbia Tires, Rims For Sale - Kijiji British Columbia Canada. and the sizes are P245/40R18 (front) and P285/35R19 (rear). The rears are a bit wider than yours, think there is any chance they...

    big day for my XLR

    G - thats the one I went with. I don't think there is significant difference between the 04 and 05 and I think we have several members here that have installed the same on 04's with success.

    Optima Battery

    I've had enough of my battery discharging! for all I know it might be the original! Tomorrow I'm going to order an Optima battery, for sure the Red Top but I might ask if they have an equivalent sized Yellow Top.

    Motor Hotels

    I've never seen such in Canada but that is very cool. I'm a nut for Mid-Century modern design and love finding old motels from the 50s and early 60s in my travels.

    Powdercoated brake calipers

    I would like to finalize the order with Cadillac Tech on Monday so this is last call :drink: for input on color. Cadillac Tech suggested that Torch or Bright Red would probably be close to Brembo Red and that Infrared or Crystal would look classy against the Thunder Gray. I find it hard to...

    its a commercial grade rolled rubber floor, most commonly used in hospitals and schools. it is basically bullet proof, and I got the material for free, but I wouldn't use it again - its too "clinical" looking and the rubber from the motorcycle tires mark it up really bad. I'm probably going to...

    Front Plate Bracket

    damn I love this forum...I removed the front plate frame from my XLR (not required in Alberta) and immediately noticed the ugly bolt holes: quick search of the forum and bam! find this thread with the link to bumperplugs.com and problem solved!

    reasonable expectations for service at Cadillac Dealer

    picked up the XLR today from the dealership. The laundry list is long and the bill was hefty and I got nowhere with my requests for replacement of the headlights. The work included: Optimum Inspection lube front sway bar bushings replace cabin air filter replace license plate bulb replace...

    05 exhaust question

    don't want to hijack this thread, but the question is related. I want to add the Corsa to my 04 as one of the first upgrades. I just got it back from the dealership after getting a bunch of repairs, and he mentioned that he thought it looked like I already had an after-market exhaust on the...

    reasonable expectations for service at Cadillac Dealer

    well I haven't heard from my dealer since last week, hopefully that means they haven't found any more issues :). I want to get her back home so I can start working on some of the upgrades.

    Help! C6 wheels

    wow, finding staggered wheels that fit the XLR is challenging. Definitely a lack of knowledge at the local tire shops for fitting the XLR with new wheels :( 1BADXLR - so just to confirm, you were able, with some slight rubbing, to get "18x9.5 front & 19x10 rear wrapped in Bridgestone Potenza...

    Corvette Logo

    This is what I love about the XLR, the lines, edges and angular design. I don't think those lines ever show properly in photos and why I think the XLR looks so much better in person that in photo.
