I am like cain here
If the SS was top of the line in 2006 it would have had these opt's only
1 sunroof
2 6 cd player
3 driver/pass side air bags

The above 3 opt's were the only opt's avil. for the LTZ in 2006
forever that changed in 2007 since the dropped the LTZ which then put the SS on top

As far as the rockers go...... yes I put my glasses on..... I do agree that they are only painted....

Just keep watching for the 'dull grey' to appear on the tops of the chrome inside the housing.

"But Caine makes some points about the LTZ which is also the Z71 in the truck line."

Yes he does. And yes I did go back and look over the '06 sales brochure I have.

The LTZ did get as standard equipment some things the SS had a options.

It looks like the SS only got the V8 & body kit that the LTZ didn't get.

I think this whole arguement about the LTZ verses SS can be compared to the Chrysler lineup in the 1950's and 1960's.The New Yorker was the top of the line so to speak with luxurious features as standard equipment.For performance and sportiness,the 300 series was offered.The base price on a New Yorker was less than the 300 letter series however,similar to the LTZ having a lower base price than the SS.
With the 300 you were paying for the higher horsepower engine(dual quads)and heavy suspension.but on the New Yorker you were paying for standard power accessories and more trim.
They also had the Newport,Windsor and Saratoga series that did change slightly over the years,but they would compare to the spaces occupied by the LS,LT,and 3LT for our cars.

Here is a photo of a 2006 headlamp assembly.You can see the fogging above the low beam and extending around the outside of the chrome.Notice how the chrome looks brighter below the headlight and towards the hood.Hope this helps those who wanted to see it.
