Wassup everyone!

Let me start off by saying you guys out there have some georgeous azz vehicles on this website, trully insparational!

Anyway,forgive my ignorance but can anyone tell me the diffrence between a GS 00' Platnum Edition and a regular 00' GS?

I think the platinum had black perforated leather seats, and there were also a few colors specific to the platinum series. They were available as GS300 and GS400.

sportdesign had the blackwood interior including blackwood shift ****, and black housing headlamps. and also the black perferoted seats as mentioned above.

sportdesign GS also had the unique smoked gray exterior.

i think these were the most unique differences, not sure if they were more...
