The Official Sport Pkg Owners' Thread!
Just wanted to create a special thread for us sports pkg owners and wonderin' how many of us are there on here. It's also a thread where you can talk about anything related to owning a sports pkg equipped car. 
I admit that the ONLY reason I originally wanted the sports pkg was because I wanted HID's. Yeah I know...lame but before anyone laughs at me, I ordered the car in Nov of '05 so at that time, HID's were not available as a stand alone option!
But now that I have the sports pkg, I appreciate everything else that comes with the sports pkg like aluminum interior, AFS, telescopic steering wheel, etc.
Anyone one else wanna share their reasons for getting the sports pkg vs. another pkg?
PS. I took delivery of my car in March of '06 and according to the salesman at Longo Lexus, my car was the FIRST CW with black interior + sports pkg to be allocated to the entire West Coast!

In Middle East, there are 4 options:
Premium:
non-leather seats
No NAV
Premium Plus:
leather seats
no NAV
Luxury:
everything, NAV and ML..etc
Sport:
exactly like Luxury, plus Sport pedals and GFX Kit.
we don't have aluminum interior, and we don't have a choice in rims except 17".

main reason for me to get the sport package was I wanted a firmer suspension but didnt want to deal with aftermarket, dont like wood trim, and wanted the HIDs plus all the other little things are nice too. Getting sport + ML all the stuff I wouldve upgraded (suspension and audio) are already upgraded over a base model so I dont have to mod it and its under warranty

I think I liked just about all of the little things that came with the sport package: perforated seats, HIDs, tighter suspension, and NO WOOD trim. A bunch of the other things that came along with it were nice too.
Too bad it's aluminum-colored plastic though.

Ugh! The dishes again? How about playtime first, then dishes?
I wanted sport package..... dang it...OH WELL! The ONLY one thing I didn't like about my luxury package is the wood trim. Now that has been taken care of.
