check the carpet mats. They should mention Sport Design.. Your factory wheels should be gunmetal. Your seats should be perforated with gray or black pipping. Your headlights should have either green or gunmetal bezel. Front grille should be dark chrome. The best way, was already mentioned by Brian, your VIN number.

Why do people think that i would buy a car and not know what it is? Also, people need to learn the differences between the 2002 GS SD, and the 2003 GS SD. The only thing this car doesn't have is the wood and its throwing everyone off.

Has the floormats in the trunk, it has the sills. The Lexus ones in there now are extras the seller had and are for the winter. The differences between 2002 and 2003

2002
-Different color piping seats
-Blackwood
-Silver, BLack, and Graphite Gray exterior colors offered.
-Interior colors were only black and gray
-Regular Headlights
-No Wood Steering wheel
-No lip spoiler
-Different Sport Design Badges on fender

2003
Wood Steering Wheel
Darkened headlights
Saddle interior and white exterior offered, I THINK gray interior was no longer offered
Again different sport design badge
Lip spoiler on trunk
No blackwood offered
No piping on seats

Both had different sills, mats, steering ecu, suspension, graphite alloys, a chrome grill, and perforated seats. I know

I may have forgotten some but this is what i've noticed after test driving at least 15 gs's and just 5 years of being on these boards and being friends with people who work at the dealership.

Also, 2003 got HID lights as standard while they were an option, and a very rare one on the 2002.

Holy crap...people on this forum are way over-sensitive. Something I've noticed since I registered 4 years ago.

Congrats on a clean ride, man. Great find with low miles. Don't get your fur ruffled so easily when people who aren't as knowledgeable as you ask a legitimate question.
