I ordered every option available on the 6MT, it has it all: prem, nav, full 4-piece aero kit, XM, bsm, trunk mat, etc.

awesome car, can't wait to drive it..

That looks awesome! Im jealous of you that you got the spoiler and I didn't. I'm curious though why they put a rear deck brake light on your car as well as the spoiler brake light?

that means that the spoiler was added on at the dealer... in other words the dealer order that car with everything (maybe not the aero kit either) and added the spoiler and/or aero kit on afterwards...the dealers do this so they are able to sell that ar with or without the aero kit

i only know this because i have the 4 peice aero kit on my car which came installed at the factory which means i do not have a rear deck brake light

Yeah, i'd see if you can have that light unhooked at least. I always thought it looks weird with 2 lights on. Thinking about it I guess you can't do any trunk swaps either with anyone.

thanks to all, I'm still very excited about the car!

as for the third brake light, not sure what happened but its coming out and off as it wasn't supposed to be there in the first place. The order was placed with:

"Aerodynamic Body Kit (With Spoiler)"

which includes:

• Accessory Rear Spoiler
• 2 Under Body Diffusers
• 2 Under Covers
• Front Bumper Chin Spoiler
• Aero body splash guards

MSRP for this option is $1200

not sure why the third brake light was put in the rear window. i think it was a mistake at the factory. how do i verify that the underbody aero is in place?

i wonder if the "Accessory Rear Spoiler" means that its a port-installed option and not a factory-installed option...

Eww...dealer badging!

As said before, it was probably added at the dealer, so you DID technically get what you ordered. And as stated, I can verify this because my Kit was installed at the factory because I do not have that rear light.

Check it out...

Basically your car wasn't originally designed to be a car with the rear wing installed, but it didn't hurt no one putting it on. Who cares, I wouldn't mind having it, catches more attention of people who gaze into your "attention grabbing" LED tails...

Great looking car!

Hmm, I didn't know the '05's have different stiching on the steering wheel, as well as new gauges. Cool.

How was the drive back from Danvers? Hope you didnt hit much snow!! Oh, and be careful taking off the dealer badge.

at any rate the dealer is removing the 3rd deck light and making it look right. I suspect something happened at the port. my window sticker lists the 4-piece aero kit in the options list, so it even appears it came from the factory that way. though, i believe the stickers are printed at the port.

also, the rear deck brake light doesn't light up. So somewhere along the line someone disconnected it.

I was under the impression that the buttons on the steering wheel were lit when the headlights were turned on. Am I mistaken? Or can you just not see them in these pics?
