umm well first off headlights...and I think the dash (where the radio/ac controls are) are a different finish....correct me if i am wrong tho...

VirtuousE

Only in 2003 (I think) were the headlines different... titanium finish

Try searching for "sportdesign headlight" in the GS forum and you'll find some posts about them. I know they're out there because I participated in them (I have the SD titanium finish lights on my GS)

yea in 03 the headlights have like a black housing finish to them..i wanna try and get them for my 02 sport design..

only thing that comes to mind about the SD is the black wood, and brushed alum climate and radio faceplate

Did you get that weird camel interior as well?? Weird thing is that the 2003 SD I saw also had the regular wood instead of the blackwood from the previous SD.

There is a 2003 SD on ebay right now. Item number 4577961185

I have an 02 GS300 Sport Design.
It has Black Walnut Trim, Perforated Seats, Gray Piping on the Seats, Brushed Aluminum Dash around climate and radio, "Sportier" suspension, Moon Roof, Chrome Grill, Graphite Exterior.
No HIDs, No Rear Spoiler, No Nav, No Levinson..
I upgraded the stereo to the D1, I want to try to match the trim of the D1 to the Climate, but I don't know where to get the paint and I don't know the color
Here is a pic


That 2003 is incredibly UGLY.....Tan interior and that wood color just do not look good.

Probably the easiest way is to forego the brushed trim and just get a black climate control, which is readily available since that is the regular color. I know it takes away from the SD specific pieces, though.

If you have to have the brushed, then it just takes more work and trial and error.

The 2002 GS300 SportDesign was available in 3 exterior colors, black, silver and graphite. I have a black one and I've seen the graphite but I've never seen silver. My interior is black leather with the grey piping as described by Patsfan. The 16" wheels 6 spoke wheels were also graphite. It was also available with Nav/ML and without. I just found this old post of mine from 3 years ago describing the Sport Design.

Personally the only thing I liked about the 2003 was the availability of a lip spoiler which was not available in the 2002.

I searched for "Sport Design" in titles only in the GS forum and got the following results. I'm not sure if this link will work.
