Was a little bored and had a hard time seeing what was in what, so I made it a little easier to read. Maybe this will help others?

Yes, there is little difference, mainly which suspension you prefer. One slight modification, you can get the LT Luxury package which has 18" wheels, also. I suspect this is what most people are getting.

 

yea the 18" come with the luxury too. I wouldnt put it only down there with the sport. Either take it off both or add it to the luxury too. Thats what i got. Lux with 18".

 

The 18's are listed in his list for both sport and lux, thats really the point of the thread the similarities between sport and lux.

 

Is there any way to pick certain options instead of sticking to a package? I only want the xenons, 18's, memory seats, and illuminated scuff plates..

 

I was wondering the same thing. Is there a way to get sport pkg with illuminated scuff plates instead of aluminum plus auto rear sun shade?( so basically it'll be luxury pkg with sport suspension and metallic trim)

 

You want a luxury package. All three come in the luxury package and the only thing your missinge is the rear sun shade. So you might as well throw in that one option and call it a luxury package.

 

Nope your screwed. Lose the rear sun shade, get the sport package and pay the 90.00-100 bucks for the illuminated scuff plates. Install them yourself and your done.

 

Yea I want those 3 options but I dont need anything else in the luxury package. It just seems like a waste of money to me...

 

Lux doesn't come with 18" standard, there are two lux packages, one with and one without 18"ers.

 

so.... does anyone know if you can pick out which options you want and dont want?

 

I don't believe that you can order "ala carte" from the factory. A specific package is installed as a whole on the line. Probably too expensive produce if you are allowed to pick and choose...
Things like tires and wheels may be handled at your dealer, but I think you are pretty well stuck with the stuff installed at the factory. Someone correct me if I am mistaken...

 

You can choose one item only, such as illuminated scuff plates of HID lamps, but they will cost a lot more individually compared to the whole package.

For example, it has been shown in previous posts that if you want the wood trim parts, it'll cost $1200. If you want the illuminated scuff plates, they'll cost $300. None of these quotes included installation. YIKES!
