Great looking car! It looks immaculate!

Is that an optional steering wheel? It looks like it has indentations across the top, whereas mine is flat.. not sure what that is...

Also -- your dash has some kind of grain in the material -- is that the leather interior option?

Also, how many miles does it have?

There are also online option codes lists as smell, but a VIN decoder is quicker.

You can also obtain a Certificate of Authenticity from PCNA, which will list the as built configuration, power train serial numbers, etc.

I thought I knew P!g history and I still don't remember those as beta year wheel option.
The 19" Design wheel, which that is, was an option in 2004. However, coming painted titanium metallic was a **** feature. It's possible they were original but painted?

The option code list by the subwoofer and the renntech order guides should help OP figure out if they are original or not. Also the tire guide sticker on the inside of the drivers doors should list 19" tire pressures.

So if mine is flat across the top -- does that mean it's sub-standard?

here is a pic:




Also if that is the standard dash material, is the stitched vinyl-looking material an upgrade?

It has 60k miles. The dash isn't leather, just grained to look like it. It actually looks pretty nice. Not sure about the steering wheel......that is kinda weird that yours is different. The spare tire...I'm pretty sure it's there, but now you have me wondering. I'm gonna look at some other pics.....It's snowing outside so I don't wanna go look.

Oh, I see what you mean. You're talking about the airbag cover. I thought you meant the actual wheel.

I'm not sure about that. Mine has the indents...

"Never seen that before, neither of mine have the indents."

Does it have something to do with the heating element? I don't have a heated steering wheel....

Mine's got the wood package, so it's not heated either.
