Hi Folks,
I just got a 2004 black on black XLR with 46k miles delivered yesterday at 6 pm. It is as close to perfect (so far) as possible. I joined the forum to learn as much as I can about modifications and kick everyone's brains for what works and doesn't work on these cars. I was on the forum for about two weeks every day before I decided to get this car. I thought that the XLR's are extremely undervalued and probably will shoot up in price over the next couple years (hopefully). I think it has enormous potential.
I plan to black everything out (chrome, grill, wheels and badges), I would also like to blackout or wrap all of the wood in the interior (please don't hate me) , update all the lighting to LED, update the entertainment and navigation system, add a set of 20 inch staggered wheels, I may go 19 in front and 20 in the back with 8.5 fronts and 9.5-10 in the back. and I want to figure out a way to add a spoiler in front and rear. Also tune it, Magnaflow exhaust and add a rear sway bar. I know it may seem like a pretty long list but you gotta have goals. I AM OPEN TO ANY SUGGESTIONS OR IDEA'S. I do not want to repeat anyone mistakes and I don't need to learn the "hard way". I would also like to save time and MONEY so feel free to send me suggestions.
I will try to document my changes with pictures and will post them as I take them. I will be doing most of the work myself so I realize it will take time and I am not in a rush
About me personally; I live in Studio City California and work as a Chiropractor in Beverly Hills. I am Very happily married with 2 great kids, an 18 year old boy who is a freshman at Chapman University in the business program and a 16-year-old girl who is a junior in high school. So obviously I can take suggestions and criticisms without getting mad.
I look forward to reading your comments and suggestions.
