Well...if it has coth (no sunroof) it's basically stock. However, you could have the Sports Package and still have cloth. I think any of the other packages come with a sun roof automatically. Call the local dealer and give them the vin. That will tell you everything that it has aside from add-ons after it left the factory.

I have the same question.

'05 6-speed
18" wheels
6-Disc in-dash changer
TCS/DSC
Rotary accents on front and rear
grey and black cloth seats
silver accents in the interior/transmission tunnel
xenon headlights
steeringwheel controls/cruise control (I believe these are standard?)

I have no sunroof, spoiler or ground effects.

Seems like standard with sports package.. Richter.. you may have the appearance package.

18 wheels, interior silver accents, and steering wheel control are standard.

However.. most of the stuff you guys mentioned can be added on afterwards without package.

abrahamsaca, with no moonroof, you have either base or sport. if you have a "DSC OFF" button to the left of the steering wheel and xenon headlights and fog lights, you have the sport package.

jrichter, you have the sport package (like me).

Thanks, this is kinda what I thought. It looks like some of these things were added on individually.

Xenon headlights will take a few seconds to fully illuminate when you first turn them on and the light is a white/blue tint much like a flourescent light.

do you have foglights?

xenon headlights look "white" (with a tinge of blue at first) versus normal headlights that look more yellow.

for DSC OFF button, look to the left of the steering wheel... there's a row of buttons. One to adjust dimming, the other turns off DSC, like in this photo:



if you don't have "DSC OFF" button there, then you have base package.

go to this page, select your Trim and Transmission and click on the little pdf icon under the picture of the 8 that says View Features & Specs. it will download a pdf file with all the options listed per package

check out what options you have and then youll be able to see what package your car has ...

Right, or on a Euro model you have the key switch to shut down the Passenger Airbag...
