does it have alloys? or do all coupes have alloys...on the sedans, you get steels and covers on the lx versions.

this one is a SE. Maybe it was put in as an extra option.

I didnt know there was an SE in 05. I thought that was only at the end of a generation. Either way, I am interested to see them. With moving to a place that gets 100" of snow a year, I maybe loking for a second set for snows.

My car gets dirty fast, is it because it is a Black color?

also what are the cheapest ways to get rid of minor scratches?

EX has a sunroof & rear disk brakes.
LX has rear drum brakes
(at least for most years this is true...)

The V-6 engine is optional onboth LX or EX, so the engine doesn't prove much. Rear brakes can be swapped, but that's not likely until the car is older. Sunroof would be the most reliable indicator.

In a word, yes. My m3 shows dirt a lot quicker than my white accord.

Usually they can be buffed out with a good wax. How bad?

Hey...a surefire way to tell if you have an LX or EX is the sunroof. LX doesn't come with a sunroof and EX does. Other than that basically everything else is the same except the wheels. LX comes with hubcaps and EX has premium alloy wheels unless he chose to add those to the package at the dealership. As I said...Just check the sunroof. If it has one it's EX if it doesn't it's LX.

Mine is a LX SE according to VIN Check with the owners link website.
