Hi guys i've been reading that many of you want to know the exact differences on the base coupe. My '05 base coupe doesn't have the "Crossfire" door sill plates, no inner auto dimming mirror, no Infinity Stereo only a 4 speaker not as bad as i thought for a 4 speaker, no leather, no power seats, no Tire Pressure Monitor, no front fog lamps, the stereo ***** are black as opposed to the silver color of the stereo although the faceplate of the stereo is identical to the Infinity one, no right front footwell mounted map net, no storage net between both seats on rear bulkhead, no cupholder its now a hole (convenient for my cell phone) no rear fog lamp and no heated seats. and no luggage set, but who cares it's just added weight. all exterior fins and windshield surround are black, interior trim has no gloss its just matte silver paint no homelink and speaker grilles are black.

 

No cupholder, just a hole -count that as an improvement . Actually I could do without all that stuff, except the homelink, I have come to depend on that. Less weight, less things to go wrong.

 

EXACTLY I agree less to go wrong. I actually never use the homelink in the '04 so it didn't bother me when i didn't get it in the '05 base coupe. And in actuality the hole in the center console where the Infamous cupholder is on the limited is an improvement to me as far as use because that cupholder is a joke. So i use the hole to hold my cell phone perfectly.

 

We went to all the auto stores, and bought all the aftermarket cup holders we could find and nothing so far has worked out.

The best solution was one that clipped to the air vents, the wife liked it but I did not so we brought it
back..

If anyone has a custom solution for some cupholders, you can make a fortune on us!

No fair!!! I want a hole instead of the infamous cupholder!!!

...looking for an aftermarket hole-installer ...

 

My Xfire has definately helped me find some hole.
Sorry couldn't resist. Go ahead and flame if you must.

 

I'm too lazy to read the owner's maual. What's a homelink?

Homelink is the 3 button programmable remote by your rear view mirror.
