How to verify if sport package?

Just bought 2005 g35 sedan with 77 K and loving it. However, it looks like I have the sport package but how do I verify? It does have the 18" and a spoiler.

In 05 you had to have sport suspension to get the rear wing, you also should have VLSD and if the stock wheels are on the car they will be the 18" rays look-a-likes

Didn't the sport only come as the 6mt for 2005 and 2006?

Probably not as sporty as a Camry

In 05 6MTs, the spoiler was part of an aero package, not the sport package. The aero package consisted of the rear spoiler and an additional lower cover towards the back of the underbody. The sport package included the suspension, VLSD, and front lip. If you have a 6MT, you have the sport package, but not necessarily the aero package.

No red struts - just black. It does feeling like sport package since handling is quick and I do feel lots of bumps.

Why care? Sport suspension was not great, a 350Z suspension is a huge upgrade there, and you should want better sways anyways. The only thing you might be missing out on is the VLSD - which might be a good way to check.
