Can someone explain to me the subtle differences in the 2004 Sports package upgrade . I am looking to replace a tailight and want to make sure I order the right one. My 04 does not have the rear spoiler nor does it have the big azz chrome tail pipe, so I am guessing I order the one that is not for 04 with sport package. ALL responses are appreciated.

Thanks
Pete

 

I believe it'll fit and I think the only difference is that sportsdesign has a darker coating instead of chrome. Someone correct me if I'm wrong
