HRE 543R: Testing clearances on 2007 XLR

The exhaust bolts arrived today, so now I can get going with cutting off the exhaust tips.

Both doors needed some TLC.

This morning I got up early to install the HRE 543, but I had to clean them first.

After 11-months the tires were down to 19 PSI. I drove a little over 100 miles to see what's needed. The two minor imperfection on the doors were buffed out and all is good. I gas the XLR up and cranked up the music.

All washed and going back into the garage. It's supposed to rain this Friday so I hope to drive my XLR next week.

Summer is around the corner. I'll tackle the widebody project at a later date. It's time enjoy my retweaked 2007 XLR!

I haven't driven the XLR in several weeks. I've been working on other projects, but I did check with the dealership and my rear sway bar has arrived. I just need to make appointment.

Meantime I got around to driving g/F's SL500 and took a picture.

So, I hope to get back on the car and have them install the center tips and sway bar.

Funny how when parking the XLR in a nearly empty parking lot (at the end mind you) and come back later to find this. I guess the person knew I wouldn't hit their car door[emoji38]
