I sold the car but it had a new aftermarket Kenwood head unit in it at the time. I know I gave the new owner the original THX unit but let me check if I still have the Aux

I used Leon's Transmissions in Costa Mesa - they have 9 locations including LA area. Did nice work on my 2006 after another shop did a poor job.

Part number might help you - 708656-S300 Push Pin

Eibachs or Stance Coilovers

Akebono makes good performance pads and low dust

My 2006 does this with higher fill rate gas pumps. When it happens put two fingers between the lip of the cars fuel fill tube and the vapor seal on the gas pump hose to allow a bit of venting. Basically it puts the black plasic spring area back slightly and solves the problem.

Im simply stating what I've been told and the people at these shops - i.e. Grand Prix Performance - know what they are doing and have done it a very long time.

I went with a Kenwood Excelon DDX9905S - paid $409 for it on eBay a couple of years ago. I used the "Metra 70-5521 Radio Wiring Harness for Ford 03-Up Amp" and "Metra 95-500S double DIN Installation Kit for 2000-2006 Lincoln LS" to mount up the head unit.

I am currently running BF Goodrich G-Force Comp-2 A/S plus Tires. I recently replaced my worn DWS's with them simply because they were the best pricing via Costco. Good tire w/ positive review at Tire Rack (good place to go for specs and reviews).
