    FS: '04 lower grill passenger side cover

    Lost my driver's side cover and had to buy the full replacement front grille to get the piece I needed. So, if you've lost the passenger side piece, now is your lucky day... Instead of spending $150+ on the full grille, just grab the piece you need... This has the grille decorative marks on it...

    Help! Trunk closing itself slowly?

    I've got two new struts. Is there a procedure for replacement? Is it safe to have someone hold the trunk open while I replace? It seems the bottom half is under the carpet trunk liner, but I haven't fully checked yet. Any tips? Just want to make sure I do everything right as I know the...

    Thanks. Looks like I'll just go pick both up. GMPartsDirect looks to have them super cheap.

    Help! Trunk closing itself slowly?

    Thank you. I didn't know how much the strut had an effect on it all... Any tips on how to test to see which strut is bad? Any help on a PN for the replacement part? Thanks!

    Help! Trunk closing itself slowly?

    When I open the trunk, the trunklid very slowly starts to fall down and will eventually close itself. Is this a hydraulic issue or are there weak shocks?

    Sharing my racing story with you...

    Yes, it's definitely a ton of work, especially for the first race, getting the car from junker status to raceworthy (rollcage, seat/harness, weight reduction, etc)... But totally worth it... build a spec e30? nah, just a fun e30... the best part might be that because it's a junker car, we...

    Sharing my racing story with you...

    So, just thought I'd start this thread because it's something I'm really passionate about... About 2 years ago, I got involved with something called "The 24 Hours of LeMons"... no, that's not spelled wrong, it's a play on the LeMans concept... It's a race very similar on road courses around the...

    Gas Gauge Error

    Well, this just happened to me :( It seemed 100% fine then 2 fill-ups ago, it only went as high as 2/3 on the top (and I was almost out of gas because it never went below 1/3!)... At half tank, I added 1 20oz bottle of the Chevron stuff... I'm counting my miles on this tank and will do it at...

    Wait... There's Chrysler parts on my XLR?!

    :lol: I guess so... so does anyone have any knowledge of this part? I have a few questions.. 1) can you get a replacement through GM? Best place/price to get them? 2) I also need the smoked cover for the driver's side, but it has no part number on the broken one... anyone have that info? 3)...

    Wait... There's Chrysler parts on my XLR?!

    So the driver's lamp socket was busted and I pulled that white insert out to grab the part number and look it up on GM Parts Direct... I pull it off, and it has a Pentagon on it, and a part number of 56005077. I do a quick google and SURE ENOUGH... it pulls up a part from a 94-99 Jeep, interior...
