Default gs 300 and perforated seats

I'm trying to locate a grey perforated rear seat. We're perforated seats available in a gs300, non sports design, if so what year did they become available?
I'm search junk yards trying to find the seat and seems to be more gs300 in the junk yards than 430's. Seems the customer service reps on the phone can't tell me if there perforated seats or not. Thanks..

I've got perforated seats in my 300. Don't know if it's a special for Europe or if they were sold like that everywhere

For GS300, perforated only came in 02-03 sport design models, if youre looking for gray, itll have to come from an 02 GS300. 03s were only saddle and black i believe.

Well that's a help. If the 02 300 had perforated I will search that year.

He's right, wasn't sure about 300s but all 03-05 430s had perforated seats

Hmm, mine's a 2000. Although when I looked in the book it says that it's a GS 300 Millennium Edition.

It's Atlantis Blue Mica (8L4) with black interior and HID headlights.

That might be why I've got perforated seats.

Milenium edition? Are you in Canada? The reason I ask I've heard of milenium edition ES300s, but they were all Canadian. I know there was a platinum edition, but I can't remember if it had perforated seats or not.

Nope, but another cold country up north, Sweden
Seems like a lot of countries have their own editions to boost sales.
