Sports package vs. Luxury package

So you can pay $650 more for Lux ($500) and the extra pedals ($150), or just get the sports package and also get the sport suspension with it free (at cost of the rear sunshade and the wood).
Neither is fully loaded though, you can easily spend $8000+ -more- on options beyond either one, without even getting into the extra wheels or body kits or exhaust your dealer will sell you.
Nav and ML together are almost 4k... dynamic cruise control is almost 3k... then there's park assist, sat radio, rear spoiler, headlamp washers....and so on... none of which are part of either package.

Well, as I mentioned before, when I called Lexus and pointed out my sport package car is supposed to have illuminated door sill plates and it came with aluminum ones they apologized and sent a technician to where I work to swap the illuminated plates onto the car for free.
Anyone else who gets AL plates on their car could do the same I'm sure (or even point it out on picking the car up to save time).
If it's really a typo I guess they'll correct it after they give out enough sets of free plates... but they didn't fix it after I pointed it out and got the free plates (while they DID sorta fix their ML problem when I pointed that out and got my $ back for it... it's just sad they fixed the typo by removing the option listing from the web site).

Ill note that a lot has changed in the newer models then the 06. My rear spoiler as I recall was part of the 06 sports package (I didn’t pay any extra for it, that’s for sure). Seems to me there was more separation of models in the 06.
BTW: The "Sports Suspension" is very much worth it. I see regular IS350's and think they look like 4x4's by how high they sit.
I would not have bought an IS350without the Sports model.

^^ I agree about the Sport Suspension..
re: sills
I will have to consider it a typo on the website for the sills, when the cars are coming over from Japan with Aluminum sill plates when Sports Package is ordered.

P.S. - As you know Lexus.com has a few typos across the model lineups...

Oh I know... between the ML thing and the door sills their typos have just about paid for an extended warranty for me by now
Still, the sills are likely free for the asking until they correct it (or decide they're shipping the cars wrong, which'd be even funnier)... and either way I don't think that ought to tip the scales for anyone deciding between the two packages... the suspension and the wood vs. aluminum interior (and maybe the $500 savings) seem the bigger factors to me.

If the spoiler was on the car when you bought it it was included in the MSRP ($355), so you paid for it.
