New member 2006 Infrared XLR

[dennis93coupe]

Hey everybody, picked up a nice 06 last month with ebony interior. She is 12k on the odometer and pretty good shape. Looking at the tires the other day and notice they are a little cracked in the middle of tread. Were these original with Michelin? When I change shoes, I'd like to get the wheels chromed. (Have a resource that polishes and plates reasonably) What's the consensus on E&G grilles? I see most of the base XLR's. Here with stock grilles. I don't particularly care for their lower mesh next to the sensors, too bad they didn't make the frame go around the outer part of the sensors, but then it might have interfered. Also I have some photos posted on photobucket. Is there a size limit for pictures here.

Congrats on the '06 and welcome to the XLR Net!

There is a size limit on photos - I believe you upload photos up to 1024 pixels wide.

Welcome and great purchase. What state are you from?

 

[dennis93coupe]

I live in Southern California. I need to see where that is in my profile. Yeah I took posession on 2/14/2014 and drove it 35 miles up the road that night with the top down, seat heet on low, and was comfortable.

Congrats and great color. I too have a 06 base. Mine had 20758 miles on her. I recently had to have a new weatherstrip installed on her. Because of the trunk bed was soaked. But other then that. I've had no major problems with her. Right now my touch pad (door opener) is acting up.

They're a dime a dozen on ebay... I ordered 3 and threw them on a shelf just in case. They ru8n in the neighborhood of 10 to 20 bucks and are super easy to install.

After the weatherstrip fiasco. I asked my dealer. He told me they are in the higher range. Because of the touch pad

Your dealer doesn't want you on ebay... He wants you to buy from him for more.

Great... I was sitting here wondering if you were gonna be able to see the link I sent. THAT'S what I was talking about. We have an 07 Lincoln MKZ that had a burned out headlamp. The dealer wanted to charge me close to $1100.00 to replace the entire headlamp assembly. I went to ebay and got a new bulb and new ballast for less than $100.00. Now don't get me wrong I always check with the dealer to make sure of what parts I actually need then I price them elsewhere because if you let them they will get you.

 

[hawkeye372]

Yep I clicked the link. Then also clicked on some pics at the bottom of the page.
