Crazy what a little plastic trim piece can cost. I would have it already if not for the 200+ price tag.

Thank you RookieIS. I really like the new system in the gps, radio ect... The F-Sport tuned suspension is nicely firm, and not only do the F-Sport seats look good, they do help in keeping you and your passengers, from sliding while driving aggressively. The new head/tail-lights give it a nicer/refreshed look. Other than that, it is mostly more of the same, however, I am very happy with my new car .

So to sum it up, I would probably be happy with an '06 that had F-Sport pack, new head/tail-lights, and new navigation (Although I would not have the new warranty! ).

Thanks RastaRacer. I would not had gone for a newer year without the F-Sport pack as it looks soo much better, I love it too . The thing about lowering is that the roads here in and around Boston are messed-up in some areas, then there's the snow we gotta deal with over here. Maybe in the future I would get some adjustable coil-overs that I could lower in the summer and lift for the winter.

No... My passenger side headlight kept going off ... Swapped my bulbs side to side and same thing happened. Even using brand new bulbs the passenger side kept turning off.

So they replaced the whole thing.

The story has much more details... Like the dealer trying its hardest to convince me I got bad bulbs... But this is the sparknotes version
