Thanks for the compliment. I work hard at being good at what I do (no matter what it is) and do not like being lumped in with people who do not take their job seriously.

P.S. That is a lot of jobs to have had for someone who is 21. I had 4 jobs around that age also but they were all at the same time.

It makes all the difference when you have someone who is good at their job and cares about what they do! Unfortunately, from what I have seen, parts personnel tend to change a good bit, plus there are binders and binders of parts information and numbers for them to shift through which makes it difficult at times. Additionally, some of those parts diagrams on the computer aren't always as concise as they could be

As you said, there are a lot of people who just don't take it seriously and who don't care as much as you do. The guy who gave me the list is one of those who does care, like yourself, so I was happy to get the parts list should I ever need it. Low and behold...I did need it when they put the wrong headlights on my car.

I have worked my butt off so far, and appreciate you compliment as well! I had an internship with Lexus corporate last summer (2007) and since then have worked for/with three different local dealers. You learn a lot when you see the business from both sides of the coin. Dealer and corporate are so different, and unfortunately, often somewhat disconnected.

Kind of random, but I thought I would add it to the list. A little write up I found on the Sport Design GS300:

SE - Sportdesign Edition

SE - Sportdesign Edition GS 300

The 2003 GS 300 SportDesign edition features gunmetal-colored aluminum wheels and an exclusive Graphite Gray Pearl Black Onyx or Crystal White exterior , HID headlamps with titanium-finished surrounds, SportDesign badges , black pearl emblems, and a rear lip spoiler enhance the exterior, while the interior is accentuated by brushed metallic console trim, a center console badge and SportDesign logos on the scuff plates and floor mats. In keeping with the sporty theme, a Euro-tuned sport suspension is standard.
The 2003 GS SportDesign Approximately 2200 units WERE MADE @ $2860 premium (which includes the leather package) above the current base model GS 300 price of $38,725.

I wonder how many had Saddle interior. 2200 is pretty low numbers compared to how many 2nd gen GS were sold. (98-05)

Somewhat related question, how limited were production numbers on the Sportdesigns?

Oh, and thanks for going through this trouble to scan/post the part list.
