The pedals aren't ISF. They are just aluminum sports pedals and you have the regular shift ****. Get the FSport shift ****, it feels a lot nicer in your hands to shift.

Does a shark fin come on a 2006?

And congrads on your new car!

Right on, I wasn't sure. I looked at a lot and they didn't have them... but I definitely prefer these.

The fin was on it when I get it. A bit BMW-ish, but I actually like it.
I also hear it adds somewhere in the neighborhood of 80-90 HP as well

Shark fins don't come on '06 model. They started with '07. Are you sure it's '06 or previous owner modded with the fin?

nice! doesn't look like a 2006 model tho... unless the previous owner added the shark fin and changed the wheels. also... question the sport package... either the prev owner changed to wood trim or it's a premium plus package and the prev owner added the sport pedals. either way... congrats on the car!

Yeah I was just gonna say, the 06' didn't come w/ the sharkfins..maybe you have an 07'. The car still has the original tires too..unless the previous owner replaced them with the factory ones which most people don't do.
