Well, I think that's a little off-side but if it was the case, what charity would accept it, even if it was brand new? :lol: "Thank youuuu, noooo, too difficult and costly to maintain and operate, and those lights costs if and when...? To the crusher!" :lol:

Clean up in aisle 3! Dull day here. Warming but a bit or rain so I got to some additional clean-up I wanted to 'investigate'. Now if I'm doing a clean-up a la 'detailing', it's really quite fun to get right in to it - especially these days with even extra time to burn. So here's a little...

Apples to oranges a bit one has to say though I do see your point. We can't forget, the XLR isn't a one-off or a one of x-number (x being small) ever made. I get people paying stupid (imho) amounts if people or companies insist on it, and perhaps have the means without the savvy to pay such a...

Man found after 3 weeks - buried under pile of hoarded taillights...news at 11... No offense to the seller - it's his prerogative to ask what he wants, what the so-called 'market' is currently at (or better), but I for one, do not agree. They're -maybe- 150 dollar chunks of plastic and wires...

LMGTFY LMGTFY ;)

Hi, Well there you are - yours should have been the 1875th built or pretty close to it. I don't know 100% (anyone?), but I don't think the assembly line is absolute. Rob's registry has build dates and such and I'd suspect the source of his info must be pretty good considering the amount of...

Howdy, & thanks kindly. I suppose had mine been perfect, I would have left well enough alone, but it was really kaput. By the time I had the wood grain shtuff removed, there was glue and yuck (and dents) pretty much everywhere. Vinyl is very forgiving - with a caveat: the stuff I got is...

Thanks - merci beaucoup Ian! :thumbsup The second picture is exceptionally interesting I find. The grill and the emblem, the way it is mounted flush and not sunken in like 'normal' XLRs. I think most fascinating is the 'copyright 2002' on the bottom - to think that GM could have given...

Hi Ian, Yes, it's in the registry and it's a 'captured test fleet' car. 2004 Cadillac XLR - 1G6YV34A045600067 - Cadillac XLR Registry We could quite certainly deduce that it made it out the factory door and in to the hands of someone, around the middle of 2003. :) So far as being...

Here we go. :) Drag that pic off to your desktop and zoom in a bit. I'd guess it's done with electricity / a laser or such. There's basically no depth to the pattern and you can scratch it with anything sharp...not good at all. As I recall, it was actually a pretty snug fit to the plastic...

That looks pretty nice though it's flat, correct? The original shtuff is wrapped around all the corners and edges and if anyone tried to do that by hand...yikes, that would be artwork. I'd wager GM had a press to stamp and form it and then maybe another to bend and wrap it over the plastic...

Howdy, Are you talking about the aluminum wrap that's all over the center console and the radio? If so, it's beer-can thickness and soft as butter. :( At some point in my car's life, someone slapped wood grain -everything- in there and I detested it, so I ripped it all out. That got rid of the...

Fantastic Ian, thanks - merci! :thumbsup Tom, don't follow my 'directional' instructions as I guess mine is substantially different from yours. Being 2004 #67 (one of the earliest built and still functioning), well, mine does run the lines as I described, which is substantially different from...

Hi Tom, Either start by removing the headliner and scoping out the path or vice-versa from the pump: Basically, the front latch lines run across the back of the car towards the passenger side, just underneath the trunk latch mechanism etc. From there they travel along in a bundle with I believe...

Looks mighty fine Vetter - good work! :thumbsup

A fresh pair of struts from RockAuto are maybe double the price of a pair of 'clamps' - how about fixing the problem rather than the symptom?! :pat:

Now, now boys...play nice. ;) The reason (if I may speculate), Ian is not seeing these is it's a US auction only. "May not ship to Canada" tends to limit results unless from here, you fudge the shipping address to something in the USA. They are nice, look to be in great shape and the...

Bummer! :( https://www.iaai.com/vehicledetails/35989485/0 It seems to have already gone to auction though no mention if it was sold or not. I would think it would certainly be repairable - just time and a bit of money. I'd suspect IAAI didn't look too hard for parts and that everything...

Certainly made me chuckle all things considered... :lol:

You're most welcome. :) You have to admit, it is kind of fun though isn't it. Oh, and I wanted to say your car looks great and a few pictures up, your broom trunk holder-upper. :lol: Gotta love practicality - seriously! I have an internal war going on, quite seriously, regarding the...
