What is the merit of sports package?

I have 2004 G35 sports package
It has 17inch 5 spoke rims and rear spoiler and red strut bars.
I bought it a month ago.

I have some questions..

1. Is sports pakage more valuable than regular ones?
2. What is better than none sports package?(except aero parts)
3. It has oem HID and sunroof. and it also has an option related with baby carseat. There are hangers for holding baby seat behind the backseat head rests. and i don't know whether it is reclining seat. Where is the buttons for reclining seat? and are these premium package options?
4. what is a doggy door?

1 and 2.The sports package included stiffer springs/shocks, so yes to someone looking for a sports model it is slightly more valuable
3. All of the 2004+ had HIDs. All the cars have the hooks behind the seats to hold a carseat for a baby.
4. The doggy door was the name given to the trunk handle on the 2003 model.

thanks for comment!

by the way, are you sure that all of the 04 or newer models have HID?
Because I think i saw some g35s with 'painted lower sills' ,which means it is 05 or newer, have yellow color headlights..

and what options does primium package have?

^^^thats a doggy door and 03-05 tail lights, however the trunk has a release button in the bumper so is than a 03/04 or a 05+???? this will only add to OPs confusion.

OP-does you sterring wheel have orange stitching? If it does, Sport packages come with stiffer spings and shocks. thats is all.

You caught that, good eye! Also, the bottom is painted, not gray.
It's a first half 2003 (aka 03.0) But the bumper is an 05
Also, those taillights are 03-04 only, and the 'doggy door' is only the 03.0, 03.5 has the regular trunk.
I want to get enough 05/06 parts but keep a few 03/04 so the first reaction to people trying to guess the car's year is "...wait what??"

--edit
Also, I almost forgot. If you have the sports package, you can put it on z springs or coupe/z springs without fear of busting your shocks. Or atleast that's what I've been told. I just put on everything from a Z

THe lower light in all the sedans is a halogen lamp. The upper low beam is the HID. So yes, any sedan will have a yellowish looking fog lamp.

Also, some of the base models did not have HIDs.

Isnt the bottom of the 05 bumpers color matched anyway? Does your trunk release button work? I want 05+ coupe rears for mine and i would like to get the trunk button to work. I turn the button in my car off.

The bottom of the 05's is color matched, but my 03 bumper was damaged so I just got all the paint done at the same time.
The trunk release button is actually not even there it's just a hole but I'm going to put a backup camera there. I'm sure you could make the button work if needed though.

Sorry, My post make not any sense!
Yes, the bottom of the 05's is color matched. My 03 had a damaged bumper. I replaced it with an 05 bumper that was primer only, so I had the lower sills painted at the same time as the bumper (as well as the black roof)
Sorry the post was confusing, I was in the middle of another post when I got a notification on this thread and I think I confused myself!
