HELP- Question on sports tune w/ splash guards

Please help. I was under the impression that my car does not have sports tune suspension. I ordered front and rear splash guards for my car. (06 automatic w/ 19inch wheels) I just got the car a few months ago. Well the front splash guards do not lign up right at all. I checked the part number and the box and they are for non sports tune but when I do a fit test it is not close. There is huge gap on the bottom and the body line of the guard is not right.
Is there a SURE way to tell. I thought the suspension was orange ?? If not can some send me a photo of there front guards ????

Here is how to tell if you have sports package:
  • Orange Stitching on steering wheel
  • 19 inch wheels
  • sports bumper

You either bought the non-sport splash guards for your sport package
or
You bought the sport splash guards for your non sport package

Sorry, I am confused by your post but for the 06 the body style changed for all cars with the sport package

Sorry for the confusion. I bought the car used and was under the impression that it did not have sports suspension. It's a automatic so I just figured it did not have it.

yep the easiest and fastest way to tell just look at your steering wheel, if its got orange stitching then you got a sports.

It does have the orange stiching but I thought that came with all 06's. I do appreciate the help though. I'm really starting to think that i do have it. So I do have the bumper, wheels and the stiching.

The side skirts are also different on the sports tuned package as well, so the front splash guards are different I believe. The rears are all the same.

Nice ride Bad Boy. I loved my GTP. I lived on Long Island most of my life in Mt Sinai.

Well I guess this is a bitter sweet thing. Sucks that I have to return them and can't finish the project BUT nice knowing that I have it on the car. I do see now what everone was talking about with the front cover. Mine has a small curve in the front.
