Default SportDesign Grill/Headlights/Foglights

Can anyone tell me what the difference between the standard GS items and the SportDesign items listed in the thread title? Also pics or links would be great. I would assume that Carson would be the best bet to get these parts, but does anyone have price estimates on these items?

I dont know about the foglights, but the grill is chrome, at least the front strips of the grill... price is usually a few hundred, or you can chrome yourself for like $10, look in the threads for DIY chrome grill ...

the front headlights are smoked, I had them quoted by sewell... $900 each they told me...

On the 03 SportDesigns the headlight have a gunmetal like finish to them and badges are black chrome and some come with saddle leather, and blackwood trim kits

Are there any differences suspension wise? Does a Sportdesign have a different suspension setup? Anyone know where I could go to see what exactly is included in the Sportdesign Edition? Sorry to hi-jack the thread...

2002 Sportdesign edition include: (a list from Lexus) lether trimmed seats with memory system, 6-CD auto changer, power moonroof, black walnut interior and shiftknob trim, aluminum like center console trim, Euro-Tuned suspension, polished alloy wheel, Black Pearl Emblems, SportDesign emblem on front fender, and full chrome grille.

And I think 2003 comes with gun metal housing headlights, HID, heated seats, wood/leather steering wheel, some with saddle leather.
but I think they took out the black walnut trim.

They say the suspension is tuned but i dont think so

I think they only give you the blackwood trim in the 03 SD if you get black leather and also the 03's come with a trunk lip spoiler too..
