OP was correct with the orange stitching comment, that's a dead giveaway as almost no one swaps steering wheels like they do rims.

 

so can anyone say for sure because im trying to buy a lip and ive been looking at the lips for the base bumper

 

Your bumper is the base, like previously mentioned the "sport" bumper didn't come out until 06. Orange stitching, aluminum pedals...etc generally does mean you have the sports package though.

 

I swapped to the orange stitched wheel.. The threads just get dirty and look crappy after a while.. lol

 

Tons of info for the differences between the years:

Clearance stip is yellowing , anything i can do to fix it?

 

Anyone have any clue what this is , its only up front coming from the passenger wheel area ...Its either when accelerating or when my foot is off the pedal .. I checked the pads and they still have some life on them .. i know they are a cheaper kind , maybe thats the problem?
The sound kinda sounds like continuous brake squeek so i figured it wouldnt be a wheel bearing , can bad wheel bearings sound like that

 

When my wife's Equinox had bad bearings it sounded like a model airplane buzzing below the car so I doubt it but again not a car engine etc genius here. In fact I'm having a similar issue but it goes away every 3rd day or so. Mine has 100K miles so I'm sure something needs replaced but like you my pads are good.

 

Bought my 05 coupe sport with (4) 20x8.5 stern wheels ( offset 32 ) .. all 4 tires are 245-35-20..
I figured id fill the gap with higher tires instead of dropping the ride and worrying about coilovers/springs and f/r cambers...What would be the optimal tire size to fill the gap? currently there is 1" up front and 1.5" in the back
Is this even a good idea? its a DD no racing or track..i actually feel the tires are too thin right now because i feel minor imperfections on the ground

Excuse the color but thats the only way i could show the gap

 

Just don't hit any speed bumnps coz you're gonna bottom out !

 

The plastic is getting "sunburnt" and is difficult if not impossible to make clear. You could try taking the headlight apart and soaking the strip in strong hydrogen peroxide for about ten minutes, and then keep it under sunlight for a while. If you do this repeatedly it may work....otherwise I'm out of ideas

 

has anyone had better luck with certain paints? Duplicolor makes a spray to match factory paint however its not made for plastic ,something more flexible is needed to prevent flaking ?
I wonder if I could just use a gloss black SEM spray and get good results, i know from experience the stuff they make is very durable but i wanna make sure it matches

 

You're much better off letting a body shop paint the lip! Being urethane it flexes so the paint and primer must contain a flex agent. Don't "Cheap Out" have the job done right the first time....Gary

 

fiiiine damn it !!!!! , taking it in tomorrow then ... you think a $100 should cover it

 

This is my black 05 coupe current setup , thinking about adding a bit of contrast to it with the wheels, instead of the black ones i have on it right now... Found a 20" set for $175 in really good shape ( the ones on the yellow Z) , they are the same size as my current wheels so all i need to do is swap tires on them .... they look pretty stupid on his yellow but im thinking they may look good on black .... whatcha guys think ...
