"Sport Pkg" @ KBB?

In attempting to get an accurate appraisal/value for my `03 R50 at Kelly Blue Book online, one of the "Equipment Options" to select from is: "Sport Pkg". Does anyone know what this is (exactly) or what KBB is looking for (asking about) here please?

Thanks in advance...

Its the 'Sport Package.' I don't remember what was in the 03 package, but the current package includes: 1" Larger wheels then standard, FogLamps, Sports Seats, Rear Spoiler, Dynamic Traction Control.

I think DTC was DSC then, and everything else was the same.


Edit: Found it.
Sport Package - $1,250
Includes: [210] Dynamic Stability Control And [325] Rear Spoiler And [368] 16" 5-Star Style Alloy Wheels And [481] Sports Seats And [520] Fog Lamps

Excellent...beautiful - that's what I got (though it only seems to add about $150 on trade/resale).

Thank you very much!

Something you might want to keep in mind. When appraising a car, the dealer is not going to add for accessories. Whether it is an automatic or stick, hardtop or convertible, and whether it is "loaded" or "stripped" is what they pay attention to. They look at mileage and how much reconditioning the vehicle needs.

The "book" is simply a guide and the real world values will fluctuate even from day to day and from dealer to dealer. Your example is a good one why. It is a seven year old vehicle and even you the owner didn't know if it actually had that option. What do you think the odds are the appraiser will have a clue or for that matter whether the potential buyer will ever care?

I've owned it for about nine months - and that's been through nine of the busiest months of my life, so I haven't exactly had a great deal of time to go-over this thing with a fine tooth comb - yet...but thanks for sharing...
