anyone have pictures of what the interior of a 350 with sport pack looks like, or what the difference is between a sport pack and a premium pack car?

im torn between the two packages, cant seem to find any specific info on the sport from their website

Do a seach, there's been lots of pics of the sport interior posted on this site.

The main difference is the use of metalic like material on the center console and light switch plates on the door panels versus wood in the Luxury package. Also, you get aluminum pedals with the sport:

Interesting. I'm sure that will be a future bolt on upgrade for people without sport package

Hope so because I ordered the luxury package but really like the way those pedals look!

What about suspension?

The sport package suspension is lowered 1/2 inch and supposedly has a more rigid setup with less roll. I have only driven sport so I don't know the difference.

From what I've been told eveything about the suspension is the same. The same spring rate. the only difference is the shocks. The performance uses a stiffer shock that is lowered .5in. I ordered a non sport version and plan on upgrading the shocks. A few members pointed this out to me. this was a big concern of mine. I did notice the difference between the non sport and lux package.

what's that big box thing by the review mirror? speed pass, etc?

That's the rain sensors.. came with the sport package.

Yes 1/2" shorter spring height, same spring ratio as stock but a tad bit tighter shock dampening are the differences.

Yikes, that's big! I thought the sensor was built into the mount where the mirror attaches to the windshield (like BMW), not a whole separate box.

flipside909

Nope. this isn't BMW, this is the same for many other Lexus models as well. Also in that box are the light sensors that automatically brighten/dim your dash lighting in light or dark conditions.

More pictures... you don't really notice the sensor... it's pretty well placed in my opinion.
