Thanks for the response, guys! I'll give them a call and perhaps send a picture of the rashed area to get their opinion before taking any action. I'd like to coordinate the wheel exchange with a new set of tires, as it is almost time. I'm not generally apprehensive about these things, but have...

I'm contemplating the exchange for chrome OEM rims for my '06 V. I've not done business with these guys but have read a favorable comment or two from forum members. My concern is their handling of the security deposit. I really can't speak to whether my rims have been "worked on" before I...

That is ​ONE. SWEET. ROADSTER. !!!

Turned out it was a bad ballast on that side. I'll attempt to get a replacement to use as a spare... still on warranty.

Okay... thanks much for the replies... sounds like I'm not totally alone with the experience of this issue. My HID system cost in the $180 range which hopefully elevates it above the "junk" category. It came with this long harness having several ends and adapters attached to it that, actually...

Recently I've noticed that SOMETIMES my passenger side fog lamp will not illuminate when requested. This can be in the garage, on the highway, or wherever. Just went into garage to check it and they both came on as normal when triggered. I proceeded to tap around and under the bumper to...

I use "Classic Automobile Insurance Agency" out of Indianapolis for my '55 Chevy Belair, which is affiliated with American Modern Insurance Group. I've used them for a few years and have never filed a claim. I can't speak to whether they will cover an XLR or V... perhaps only models considered...

That's kinda odd about the V window sticker... the museum provided both the sticker and the build sheet for my '06 V in March of 2011. Didn't seem to be a problem then... she had to check my VIN to verify that she had it, but then proceeded to provide both a paper and laminated copy of each. I...

I've driven mine to work a couple of times... once by design as I had a service scheduled after work... and the other when the battery died on my commuter. It's about a 10 mile city drive each way. We have gravel and heavy trucks in the area and I just don't like to subject her to the...

Agreed... love to hear auto companionship stories like this one! I've owned my '55 Chevy Belair for 38 of its 57 years.

This has been on my "maybe" list of mods for a few months now: Plasmaglow offers side-firing strip LEDs that fit into the mirror housing around the top, outside and bottom. I made an inquiry about this install to my XLR Tech and he said it was too much trouble and too delicate an operation with...

I acquired my headlights from V-LEDS (.com)... the SKU is D1S_6K_S for Xenon HID bulbs and they were priced at $69.99 per pair. The HID fog lamp kit was sourced from OmniXAutoSports (.com) and the item is 9045 HID - Xenon Conversion Kit. It included the two ballasts and a pair of bulbs with...

Yes, the D1S type replacement bulb plugs right in and uses the OEM ballast.

Was kinda hoping someone would jump in on that first ; ) I have related questions that I'll pose under this thread: Several months ago I upgraded to 6000K headlamps and installed a HID 6000K fog lamp kit. I was happy with the look although the fog lamps were a tinge bluer than the headlights...

Welcome aboard, Tom!

Bought my '06 V in mid-February of 2011 with 23,300 miles. Today, approximately 14.5 months later, I've reached 35,000 miles for an average of almost 814 miles per month or 9765 annualized. No one knows their future, but I bought this gem for the long haul. I look for good opportunities to...

Beautiful car, Nick! How did you affix the V emblem to your lower mesh grill? Are you using the adhesive only? Thanks!

That IS a very good-looking ride you have there, 1BAD! Marketability largely lies in the eyes of the beholder... and if you're not particularly pressed to sell, I'd hold out for a "reasonable" premium for awhile. As an aside, I like your lowered look. Does it cause any particular driveability...

That's a good one, Al... thanks for posting!

Nice! It's TUFF not having her inside your own garage... except when she's out pleasuring your senses ; )
