Picked her up from the dealer last night, buyers remorse this morning...
#31
If it makes you feel any better, the dealership I bought my car from "forgot" to include a navigation disk. They said that they'd be happy to sell me a new one for $300.
Dafuk? $300 for something that should've been included with the car?
I pulled an Andy Dufrane and called the guy that sols me the car 3 times a day (usually got his voicemail) for 2 weeks until he agreed to send me one for free with no shipping charges.

OP do your wheels look like these:

If so they are the stock sport 18s. If they are a simple 7 spoke they are 17" stock rims. No sedans in 06 came stock with 19s so you don't have to worry about that. Let the remorse pass. I'm sure your car is fine and will last you many years if you take good care of it.

Blue Dream,
Your car looks like how I want mine to look! I got clears now I'm looking for a nice drop! Are you on z springs or aftermarket?
Original poster,
Dont fret. Besides all the rattles and crappy mpg at times these cars are very solid! I love mine to death! Hands down my favorite car I've ever owned in my 26 years of living. It's such a chick magnet too! With a coupe middy the exhaust note you get is sex! Nissan/Infiniti by far has the sexiest exhaust notes in the business; but I digress...
Enjoy your ride buddy!

Thanks all for the ridiculous amount of input. This forum is pretty damn legit!
As far as the dealer treating me and my ride post purchase w/o warranty, I am happy to say, my sales guy sent me right over to the service dept no questions asked and they jumped on my TPMS (!) right away. I had a tire with too much air. The Service tech even showed me a possible rear side tire sensor battery issue I could run into fairly soon. He even said that I could bring it back again without warranty, and they'd replace it. In the meantime, I noticed my spare key wasn't working, and they took care of that too. As for the manual, apparently they did not have one extra 06 manual lying around the entire dealership, so I came away short changed on this end. Oh well, 2/3 ain't bad for dealer with a bad rep for sales/service.
Also, I was chatting with a dude driving an 03 coupe, and he was the 2nd owner from a private party sale. He mentioned that he gets lifetime free dealership oil changes, regardless of whether he repurchased it from a dealer or not... Can anyone confirm if they've had similar experiences with their closest dealer? I'm not too sure if that is even possible, but I figure I'll give it a shot too in 3k miles.
And finally, after checking the tires, I'm going to have to affirm Blue Dream's call; they are stock sport 18".
I can officially say after a long night in LA, zooming down Fig and Flower and getting double takes, my buyer's remorse has been blown away, left behind 100 miles ago

The S Techs are listed as having a 2" drop in the front and a 1.3" drop in the rear. I have 70K+ miles on my car and needed to replace my struts anyway and stumbled on a great deal for the Z pieces and the springs from another member on here. The Z struts are stiffer than the stock sport struts so handling tightened up a little with not a lot of change to the ride quality.
I'm probably going with coilovers in the near future as I'm not quite as low as I'd like. It never ends for some of us.

Like John Pich said in the previous page - check your trunk for an owner's manual. I recently purchased my 06 and thought the car didn't come with a manual, but I found the owners manual and first aid kit in leather cases in the spare tire well (under the trunk mat/board).

That makes me feel so much better. i did have to replace my clutch but otherwise the car has been solid. Knock on wood.
