Default Differences (exterior-wise) on Packages - Sport/Prem/X/Lux


Can someone tell me the exterior differences between the 4 packages? Is it just the wheels? I saw something about frontairdam on one of the packages. I didn't know what that was.

Premium and Lux have no exterior changes.

Sport: a 1/2 inch drop.

X-Package: a 1/2 inch drop, front lip, front air dam, and X-Package wheels.

........Do you not do research before you purchase a vehicle?

The "Front Airdam" is basically the OEM Kitted Front lip.

the dealer said it was the same exact exterior. I have looked at pics and they dont look too much different. If you could show me, that would be awesome.

Don't sweat it man. Even if you don't have the front air dam, you can buy it prepainted for a few hundred dollars. Here is a picture:

Open your glove box. Chances are, your dealer put your window sticker in there. It will say what you got.

If you don't have that sheet. Look at your transmission... Do you have wood trim? Yes? Then you don't have the sports package.

Go outside your car. Do your wheels look like a star? If not, then you don't have the X package.

Go back inside your car. Find your memory seats. Can't find it? Then you don't have the luxury package.

You can always wait for another car.

If you haven't signed anything, it's not your car yet...

i signed some paper and put 3k down, i can always lower the car and add a front lip and side skirts. People are saying I shouldn't though because I live in boston where its always snowing and it will get messed up.

Pay attention to the front bumper on the first 4 pictures. With and w/o the front lip (aka front air dam).

yes, just keep the car. it's a good package. You can do the sports and x-package things yourself later. not worth the additional wait.
