Thread: My Girl's '06 Base Model

Gave her a bath today and then added the SPO grilles that i got for $30 shipped on ebay!!! theres a bunch of colors to choose from too. next i have to order new inlays for the front. Only mods done so far are silver torque stars, SPO grilles, silver letter inserts front and back, and an aftermarket sunroof. id like to add a 5 bottom DIC in the near future, and if i can figure out how to add an aux jack w/o having XM that would be cool. This thing doesnt have trac or ABS

Hi Peggy's car!

Pro tip:

Tire shine has a cleanser and degreaser in it...and it isn't good for the clear coat and also leaves the valences looking greasy and oily (aka rainbow effect)...if you want your valences to look good...wax them like the rest of your car.

Both my front and rear valences have clear coat on them from the factory...plenty of 97-03 cars do...some don't. It is plastic...it still looks better if you use the correct wax...as in #26 Yellow finish vs. Armor All which leaves a greasy look like a stated already.

i will never like the 04+ grills. clean car tho.

its an '06 and it has NO clearcoat its just raw plastic.

I'd still rather put a finishing compound on it rather than a oil based cleaner...it looks better IMO.

not a fan of the torques on an 04+. did u have that sunroof put in.

now thats a base model

yes interested!

it was $1k to put in when she bought the car. the screen in there can be noise sometimes when im on the highway but i dont even notice it anymore.

weird never seen a 06 that didnt have the 5 button dic... my wife and neighbor have 06's and they both have the 6 button dic's. they are both base models as well

You're drunk, sir.

Looks clean! I actually like the torque star wheels on it!
