    Corvette Head Unit

    Normally I would search the forum but I'm not able to be online much right now so I apologise, but I will ask now anyway... Does anyone know if the Corvette head unit mounting hardware will work in the XLR? Any experience with the Corvette wiring harness? or simply mounting a Corvette head unit...

    been gone so long thought I better re-introduce myself!

    Been off the forum for far too long. The last part of 2013 was tough - going through separation/divorce after 19 years of marriage. The entire process has taken up most of my time, and in-fact things likely won't be completely finalized until the end of March 2014 :( Not coming out of the...

    XLR Part Auction in support of MTRocket

    I had ordered a number of parts for my XLR and had them shipped to MTRocket (Rod) with the intention of driving down and having Rod install them. All the parts had been delivered to Rod's shop and he was storing them until I could get down to Montana. As we all know, Rod had the terrible...

    finally found something I don't like about my XLR

    finally found something I don't like about my XLR - not sure if this happens to others but whenever I wash the XLR, even with a good dry, after I drive for a bit water comes out from around the rear trunk and streaks across the bumper. always seems to be dirty water to boot and makes my...

    back on XLR.Net after a bit of an absence

    finally back after a bit of an absence. Things got super busy at the office which kept me away in May. Then I was away on vacation in Europe for June. While in Europe we experienced massive flooding in Calgary so I needed to get home. Thankfully, my place was saved but I've been busy with...

    XM Stereo Question

    I went to install all my new bluetooth gear and discovered (I think) that my 04 doesn't have the XM stereo module. For those with experience with the XM, can you please have a look at these photos and let me know if I have the module? if I don't have it, how easy it is to add?

    09 bumper cover

    I swear that I had read a thread about upgrading older XLRs to the 09 front bumper, but I just spent 20 minutes searching the site and couldn't find it...so my question is, what is involved with installing a 09 front bumper cover, fog lights, etc. on a pre-09 XLR? is it a strait up replacement...

    slotted & drilled brake rotors

    given I've got some sexy new powder coated calipers coming for the XLR, I was thinking I might as well go all the way and have drilled and slotted rotors installed when I visit Rod in MT. I know several members have installed Baer brand rotors but there are many choices out there. I would...

    reasonable expectations for service at Cadillac Dealer

    OK, since I don't know the history of my XLR, the first thing I wanted to do was get it into a Cadillac dealer to have an inspection and full service. I dropped into the two local Cadillac dealers in person to talk to their service departments as I wanted to get a feel for who might have more...

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

    I've been reading the forums for days now getting lots of great ideas. In many of the motorcycle forums I frequent, we usually have "must do" lists for each bike - lists of popular upgrades/fixes that most owners would want to consider at some point. I was looking for such a thread here for...

    new owner, new member

    Just wanted to take a minute to introduce myself as a new XLR owner and a new member here. I picked up a 2004 XLR on December 24th - my first Cadillac but not my first roadster having previously owned a AMG SL500. The car looks to be in great condition with only 63,000km on it, but I will know...
