Updating my 2005 XLR

[Steve Lee]

I wan to do some updates to my car; to be specific: The wire mesh grill, and the wheels with the multi spokes.I don't like the stock wheels on my 2005! Are those the wheels on the later XLR"S with all those spokes about 10 or 12?. I want to know where to buy them and cost of (4). I would also like to know where to buy the mesh grill. I.E., what is the best one, and the cost. Thanks guys for any and all help with this endeavor!!

I have a 2005 and have been updating over the years. The wheels you are looking for are from the XLR V. I have been looking for a set for over a year. Hard to find now. Carid.com and Big Daddy Caddy have the grill you are looking for.

Also, make sure you keep some money around for regular repairs. I did my rotors, brakes and calipers, they was about to get Corsa Exhaust. Radiator went, so spent the money on that. I have 32k miles on car. Radiators are one of the items on 2005's that have problems. Then I just did rear suspension bar and braided brake calipers. When doing that, saw my shocks where leaking bad. $2k for shocks. There went the new Corsa exhaust again.

Do both of these places you mentioned have good aftermarket grills that are exactly the same- in looks, quality and price?? Are there aftermarket wheels out there that look about the same, or very similar, to the ones on the XLRV that is for sale on the forum, with 14,000 miles on it?They look really good! Can you tell me of an aftermarket place that has wheels?

Carid is a dealer for E&G Grilles. I went on E bay, found an authorized dealer for E&G, and just purchased the upper and lower grille for $686.00 with free shipping,and the E&G warranty!! Now I want those 12 spoke wheels, similar to the XLRV wheels, for my 2005 18 inch wheel,s with a low luster finish; not chrome or polished! Anybody out there know where I can get them??
