2006 black on black..... Posted by Mike Lynch [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: what is your favorite year of the 9-5?, Minarets, Sun, 30 Apr 2006 13:45:18 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I gotta' go with a 2006 black on black or jet black on black. When you get the vented seats for '06 you lose the two tone and french stitching so the seats are all black or I should say obsidian, except that the '06 obsidian seems closer to black for this year than previously. The dash and door panels are also black for 2006. Previous years had mostly gray interiors with obsidian seats that weren't all that black. The darker metal look dash also compliments the interior color better too.
I also kinda' like the new light treatment on a black car as the chrome headlight trim really looks sharp. The new 235's on wider rims help too.
One subtle thing is a 2006 has a higher spoiler, it's actually raised in the middle where you need the approach angle clearance instead of being the same depth all the way around so the very front rubs. Scratching the front spoiler actuall can be avoided with an '06.
