The minor scuff mark: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well, today was the day to pick up my XLR. I asked that the shop clear coat the underside of the hood. Only two things that need addressing which is the head-up display. The interior shop moved part of the plastic cover onto the viewing area which blocked partly the read outs and there's a minor...

More pics please;).

They did use a cut out cardboard pattern to mimic the backside of the vent. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well, I guess this proves that you can purchase 2009 Platinum parts for prior XLR years. I took a chance and it appears to have paid off. Cost a bit more, but if you want the look of a 2009, but don't want to pay the high dollar amount I think this is perhaps a better route, especially if your...

Now let's move onto those pesky little sensors. The shop color matched the sensors and I haven't tested them to see if they are still functional. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Our XLR have a pillow like material to absorb sound is guess, but the shop slightly moved it. When I last looked I think the 2009 front fenders were about $1,200 per side. A bit more than pre-2009 fenders. Either way, once you begin the cuts its no turning back. IMHO It's best to let the...

Upon closer inspection the passenger side vent was a bit off, so Joe (The manager) readjusted the part. The goo is the double sided 3M adhesive tape. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The back end is up in the air because they were re-attaching the re-painted fascia. The car isn't wet sanded nor polished. That's on the list of things to do. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nearing final completion! I stopped by the shop today. They are putting the finishing touches on my XLR. The sensors too are painted and a final tweak of the passenger side 2009 side vent, but other-than-that, we're done and for those that are interested I took some pics of the vent cut out...

:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup Very, very nice. What's the wheel and tire sizes?

I found another XLR using the 2009 grill. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes. It's cheaper and quicker to go that route. Thanks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Measurements between pipes: Obviously, tweaking is in order either the exhaust pipes or widening out the 2009 part. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
