Found out Spectra Mica Blue was available on 98's and 99's.

Yep - The Library here at CL, which you get by becoming a paid member, states that 98 & 99 were the only years that the SMB was available as a stock color

Spectra Blue Mica was available in 2000 (well at least in Canada) I had to special order it (Took 3 months to get) and from what I was told it was only 1 of 4 made for this country but i'm sure you could get a 2000 GS in the states with SBM colour on Tan, Grey or Black..

Yep, mine is a 2000 in Spectra Blue, it was special-ordered by the original owner with Grey leather.

It's funny, mine was originally purchased from Longo Lexus in El Monte (near Los Angeles), but it 'lived' in Phoenix until I bought it (the orifginal owner is the son of the founder of Swift Transportation, based in Arizona)... now it is 'home' in California again!!

I have a Blue Onyx Pearl on my 2002 GS. Its a very dark blue color, it looks very nice.

Oops

Re-reading the Library, it was available until 2000, then the "Blue Onyx Pearl" took its place
