Congrats on the new ride! You have exceptionally good taste, by the way (Mine is Silver Birch). 2006 was the last true Sport (Model designation 230A). '07's were not. I'm sure you'll appreciate it as a DD. I certainly love mine!

Best Luck,

JMan

So far it is great! Had it a couple of weeks now. It needs a tune to fix the soft shifts if nothing else. I am used to the firm shifts in the MM. Best part is it still has factory warranty till 2-09. Might try to find some MM wheels when the tires wear out. Should be a little easier to find since they are now Mustang wheels.:mad2: Not a lot of performance parts for the LX Sport that I have found.

I put a tune and MM wheels on my sport, SB is a good color on those cars.

My Sport is Black, with MM wheels, my tune is from Lonnie @ BOC. That car is my DD, My other car is a DTR MM.

I think the sport looks goofy with MM wheels on it. The CV sport wheels look much more appropriate on it

After looking at a Marauder wheel and tire combo, The 17s on the CV Sport just look too small...Was looking at a 98 Marquis the other day and the 16s look REALLY SMALL! I would love to put any 18 on the CV, just dont know what I like right now. I ordered a programmer for it on Tuesday, Need to order the Magnaflow cat back, but need to sell my Maxima first.
