'05 vs '02

[quicksilverdon]

Well, picked up my '05 Limited w/turbo Wednesday nite (been real busy at work). Changed out my E&G grill right in the dealer garage - when I took the grill off, the salesman saw the aoogah horn behind the grill and engcourage me to take that out, too, so I did.
The turbo is SWEET. I notice no noise increase (but then, I had an AirAid & Bassani exhaust) just a smooth increase in power. ONE HAPPY CAMPER HERE.
My wife and I notice the windshield inside is trimmed differently, less rounded at the corners. The upholstery on seats and doors is very different - not the "mouse fur" I had on my '02 - seems very durable and upscale - an improvement. The rear hatch no longer has a mechanical latch in the emblem, but has an electric latch under the emblem. The painted alloy wheels now have 7 vs 5 spokes and seem to have more metal to them - I hope they resist potholes better.
Everything else is the same. I had a Touring before and didn't have the lumbar adjust - I love it. The stupid power seat still doesn't go low enough.
I now have 250 miles on it - got it with 23 miles - I passed a couple of cars and the increased power was noticable and significant. Just put a K&N FIPK on it, and am looking for space to fit the Aoogah horn.[?]

Now the real fun begins, huh Don. Congrats on your new Turbo![^]

Good luck with her Don

Thanks. Oh, and no more "ET head" shifter on auto - now a cue ball same as manual - I have a deep gray (matches upholstery) with silver button.
Today I hope to put on "rescued" weatherflector side window shields and the Benevento sunroof deflector.[?]

quicksilverdon. I have the stock airbox & the oogah horn from AZ. It fits perfectly on the side of the airbox( between the fender & box, infront of the little 90 deg piece the lets cold air in). So i'm sure yours will ahve no trouble fitting there. With the stock box in place you can barely see it. IT IS LOUD, I scared the crap out of my wife 3 times today, once i hooked it up. She heard it in the house with the windows closed & the TV & A/C on. So being under the hood is no big deal.
I can tell you it WILL NOT fit behind the grill

I know it won't fit behind grill - they moved something - either A/C or transmission cooler there.
I also know it's loud - it gets the deer to jump - when I blow the stock horn, they barely look up...

I was going to give it to my daughter, then I saw an '03 GT (silver, of course) with only 7,000 miles for $12,500 - I bought that & my daughter owes me BIG time.
For a brief period I owned 3 silver PTs - '02 N/A, '03 GT, '05 "Lite".
Right now I just have the top grill on, I held the bottom on, and it looks fine. I found some black plastic hex-hole mesh I want to put behind the bottom part of the grill.
Yeah, my grin is permanent....
