that is not a sport model - looks like a premium.

the models went in order of price:
- base
- sport
- premium

looks like you have the audiophile option - Alpine 6CD in-dash, 12 speaker stereo - which was only an option available on the premium.

re:

opps - sorry - the in-dash wasn't an option until 2001.

I was told in 2000 they all had chrome on the bumpers..... is this right ?

IT shows the models and options available. You have a premium - all sport models had SST - your LS does not.

what does the premium have that my sport does not

the premium has all the electronic goodies and interior appearance packages.

you could order the sport suspension and wheels on the premium - other than the SST.
