After several years it's time to buy another set of run flats. These tires I've had since 2015 I think [emoji189] and now I have over 78,000 on the odometer and it's down to the wear bar in the rear.

I was leaving work while out of town when my girlfriend snapped a surprise picture of me (at car level) as I was driving down the street. Yes Graytoad my 2007 XLR has the body panels of the 2009 (front & rear).

Picked up the parts for the rear sway bar from the XLRV. I hope to have the bar installed next week.
The bucket list:
1. Purchase 2009 body panels. Check
2. Install 2009 exhaust tip bezel. Check
3. Install XLRV rear sway bar.
4. Instal Borla exhaust system.
5. Install iPhone adapter kit...

Removal of the protective film. I now need to find a single exhaust pipe (for a better sound and weld one end to the cut pipe and allow the distal end fit inside the exhaust bezel.
So, the inside of the two tail pipes were cut in a pie like section. This allowed for bending the pipes 1/2" per side inward. I'll need to now have the small area welded (not at this shop but later).

I wasn't sure just how much of a gap the OEM was so I opt for a finger width (visually it looked about right). I can raise the bezel a bit more but for now I okay with it.
The hard part of the installation was the Modification of the tail pipes. The width between the two tail pipes is about...
After a year or so it was finally time to have the 2009 exhaust bezel installed. The rear bumper had to be removed and some tweaking of the cut off tail pipes. Once you start there's no going back so cut once and measure twice.

There's a main wire connection under the front of the car. I've had to use it once when my painter let the battery go dead.
