    are there any hp or tq changes amongst the 03-04s? What i got from this is besides body and interior changes, the 04 has a better tranny cause of the teflon band.

    A very good list indeed.

    I believe that Heated Seats are an option on 300b, not standard.

    I must have a real odd ball, I have a 2003 300A engine code(3G-120-AA) but I have traction control, the small dinky spare tire, and yellow coolant. Strange?

    I've read this thread several times. Nobody has mentioned the third and final option of the '03 300A besides the 6CD changer and trunk organizer was the dealer installed rear spoiler.

    Didn't think they actually made 300As with spoilers, in fact I have yet to seen a A with one on, perhaps on the muts?

    BTW, Hurray! This was finally stickied! Credit to the original poster but congrats to all the complainers like myself who helped get it pinned!

    They were a dealer installed option right from the start - available on all years and versions. When I bought mine in july '02 I declined the spoiler and then picked one up a little over a year ago. It does tend to deposit a lot of sand/dirt on top of the rear bumper/trunk valance.

    do you have all the other 300A traits?

    and also are you the original owner? maybe someone brought the premium stuff and put it in despite the fact that it does more harm than good.
