TRD Aurions came out in two specs - 3500S, and 3500SL.  That's it.  Anything else is aftermarket (or custom).

Also, the TRD Aurion came out in 2007, not 2006.  This makes it even more likely your "mate" (your profile indicates you supposedly own one) has just got a normal Aurion with a TRD sticker slapped on it.

I took some photos it’s a super charged 6 I had a sportivo interior as well

I think that's a ZR6 with badges put on it. The Sport badge is a common design, If you google "sport badge for car".
Vin check says its "Sedan 6A 3.5 Sportivo ZR6", granted I think my TRD might show as ZR6 on the checker too.

Could be an engine swapped ZR6.

On the off chance it is legit badging it would definitely be something new to me.

That's not the TRD rear bumper, or the correct boot lid, or the correct spoiler.  It also wasn't released until August 2007, so a Nov '06 build date would be highly unlikely (not to mention that TRDs are also individually numbered).  And the "Sportivo" interior is different to the TRD one too.  Even if it had been rear-ended and the boot/bumper replaced with normal ZR6 parts, that wouldn't explain the build date.

 

In short, that ain't no TRD Aurion.  It's a normal Aurion that someone has put $10 eBay/Etsy badges on (seriously, both the Limited Edition and Sports badges are just generic aftermarket crap that you can get from Etsy).  At this point, without photo proof I'm even doubting it having the supercharger...
