I like the little bit stiffer suspension and the leather. Wood grain is okay but the polished aluminum just seemed to fit our preference. So maybe the silversport was just made to appeal to the younger generation?(LOL) It makes the RX look and feel a lot sportier, this package is what got me away from looking at the MDX.
I had gotten my 99 used in early 2002 and after having a paint issue on the rear bumper, I had it painted all black to match the rest of the paint after seeing some photos of the Silversport online. Some color combinations don't look too bad with that two-tone, but I just never found the two-tone on black to be that great.

Default Silversport vs. Non-Silversport

I currently have a 2001 Lexus RX 300 non silversport with 181k miles. Not to mention, a salvaged title. The thing has suffered many mechanical issues and I’m about ready to let go after 1 year of good use. I’m looking for a replacement Lexus RX 300 silversport edition with 152k miles. What’s the difference between the non and with silversport? And is it worth the switch?
