    Show Us Your XLR

    With windows down there is none at all, almost like a convertible with the windscreen in back. A tiny bit if have the windows up and going over 60, but still not anything more than my vette was with the targa off.

    Show Us Your XLR

    I actually converted it to targa only and removed all the hydraulics and adapted the latching for the targa, and fixed in position the rear window section. I bought the car very very cheap with decent mileage, but to fix the top operation would have tripled or more what I paid for the car. So I...

    Interior Carbon Fiber Wrap

    I left the metal in place and scuffed it up with fine steel wool. Lots of patience and sharp razor blades and help with the heat gun! Ordered black XLR floor Mats to go with the black and “shale” theme, and I also did the headliner in black marine vinyl. Searching for a reasonably priced set of...

    Targa conversion?

    Slightly goofier idea I had was making a removable light bar mount, give it the Richard Rawlings mustang look lol

    Suspension Control Module Options

    Yep, that’s exactly how mine acts. No actual problem except the annoying message. I’m not sure what else to try at this point, so I have just decided to deal with it or cover the DiC. If I come across anything that works I will certainly let you know, and as you said please do the same if you...

    XLR TARGA CONVERSION COMPLETE

    scartozzitrattoria No louder than it was with the top back normally, i think because the windshield is just slightly higher than the rear window. Before I went all the way...

    XLR TARGA CONVERSION COMPLETE

    Actually I may fabricate something out of fiberglass for that section, I like it as is, but a piece across may indeed look more complete. As for the T-Top idea, I have already been talking with my buddy that does metal fabrication and C&C work about a sort of half roll bar with T top style cross...

    XLR TARGA CONVERSION COMPLETE

    Thanks, and yes before I gutted everything that was the first thing I wanted to check. It is no louder than it was in convertible mode before and still quieter than my old c4 corvette was with the targa off. I was a little concerned that there may be some buffeting or wind resonating noise but...

    XLR TARGA CONVERSION COMPLETE

    I will post some close up pics soon, however the latching for the front and rear of the targa section are completely stock, I just use the manual release to lock and I lock it.

    XLR TARGA CONVERSION COMPLETE

    Just wanted to share some pictures of my conversion. I'm sure some people will hate this, but some may like it! I was not able to find a picture or story online of anyone else who has done this so I may be the first. I love the look much better, but I have always preferred targa tops to...

    Targa conversion?

    If I decide to go through with it I will post details for sure. I am still doing some research and was hoping I wasn’t the only person who had this idea. So far that seems to be the case. Thanks for your response, nice to see at least one person thinks it may be interesting!

    Targa conversion?

    Hello everybody, I am just throwing this idea out there and am curious if anybody has done this or thought about it. I am considering converting my XLR into a “targa”. Basically fixing the rear window section in place and fabbing some sort of latch and pin probably using the existing front latch...
