BNR34,

Thanks for all of the pics. I noticed that the dashboard is black. Did you look at any other interior/exterior colors when you were shopping? The question I really want answered is: do all SD's come with this black dashboard? Or might the dash color be different if you were to get the saddle interior?

Anyone else know?

You are welcome

To answer your question, all 03' SD come with black dashboard for both interior color option (see attached pic). When we bought our car, the dealer had both color interior in stock. The saddle is very nice too, we just preferred the black.

Dude..i personally think it did nto look nice. The sport design interior was HOT for 2002 and 2003...but for the 2003 models where they put those low lip spoilers - it didnt flow for me. A 2002 graphite gray with sport design was a HOT HOT car...

but u know what? The new 2006 GS that is coming out...i am getting it for like a few hundred dollars above invoice...THAT WILL BE THE CAR TO GET BRO!




peace

I must say that your white SD is the best looking one I have seen. Really highlights the titanium colored rims and lights-and no saddle

Low lip spoiler? You mean on the trunk? There are a few on here who will have an opposing opinion on that.

As for the new GS, it will NOT be the car to get for quite a few on here too. It is really a mixed bag of opinion on the new GS on CL. I guess that's what makes it interesting.

Bro...what are you talking about? Iv read different things from people on the GS tho. they say its a mix of a maxima and an infiniti and some other car...personally i dont see it. the car is gorgeous outside and inside. If you find actual photo shots of the cars center console for the GS300, please let me know...ive yet to see a clear shot of the center console with the instrument panel lighted. Iv seen what it looks like and all but not of an actual photo shot. Im goign to get an 06 GS300.


thanks

Congrats on the future GS. I'm one of the ones who are not enthusiastic about the new GS. It has nothing to do with what it resembles. I think it has enough of its own personality. I got excited when the 2nd gen came out. I am ambivalent on the 3rd gen. I am thinking about when the hybrid comes along though. We'll see then, and even then, I'm more interested in the hybrid part than the GS part. I'm not saying I'll never get one. We'll see what comes along in 3-4 years.

As for an interior pic, it is kind of hard when they won't let you get inside at these car shows. The car will be out in a few months so more pics are probably coming.

BTW - Welcome to ClubLexus.

I am back after 4 years guys!

Well the GTR was sold, bought a 04' STi, still got the GS300 Sport Design, bought a 98' ES300.....but it got rear ended and total loss. Bought a 05' LS430 Ultra Luxury to replaced the 98' ES300. Bought another 01' ES300 for my mom.

So all is well, slowly becoming an all Lexus family!

After owning our 03' Sport Design for 5+ years now, that OEM low lip spoiler is still my favorite
