04' and 06' Limited differences

[jeffrosheen]

So I FINALLY replaced my 4R from when it was totaled in March. I had an black 04' Limited V8 4x4 and replaced it with an 06' Shadow Micah V8 4X4 Limited.

I really like the changes and new feel of the car but I have a couple of questions and observations about the differences.

1. It seems that my 04' sat MUCH taller than the 06'. Could this be my imagination from the bigger wheels and less aggressive tires?

2. I really missed my Eclipse 5495 DVD/NAV and 2 pair of Focal components. BUT the JBL in the 06' is REALLY good! It should at least tide me over for a bit.

3. The projector headlights make a world of difference! I haven't even modified to HID or Sylvania's

4. Lastly, the overhead courtesy light went from two bulbs to one. Now I have an extra LED left over.

Oh yeah. The exhaust on the 04' sounded like a grizzly compared the 06'. The only other mod on the 04' was a K&N intake. Would that make that much difference?

It seems that way to me too as I T4R watch while driving. IIRC that was a period when crashing into the car in front of you was a big regulatory issue. I wouldn't be surprised if with the '06 makeover came a slightly lower front-end to help insure bumper to bumper contact rather than bumper to trunk contact.

Congrats on the new ride! :bigok:

Yeah even comparing it to my friend's wife's 05' it sat significantly lower. I guess I have a reason to lift it now huh?
