Now I need you guys to help me out

How can you tell if my car really has the premium package. What I really want to know is that if premium package also includes different supension?

I stopped by the dealer today and told them from what I have learned, my car probably came without the aero and premium packages from the factory. The packages on the car were added by the dealer and not from the factory. The Service Manager asked me what makes me think that, and I told him I have a third brake light in the rear deck that cars with premium package from the factory should not be there. I told him I am concerned that there are things on the car may not be included. Do anyone know what should be included? He told me he will do some research and call me back. He also stated that if there is something missing, the dealer will make it good for me. So I want to be prepare when he calls. He also said the dealer will take the third brake light out if I want to. But shouldn't they put a new rear deck on because there will be a gaping hole where the third light was?

look at your rearview mirror.... if it has buttons on it, you have the premium package... if it doesn't and looks like it belongs in a honda civic, you don't have the premium package

She's right, and the premium package has nothing to do with suspension. It only includes Homelink, auto headlights, dual zone A/C, sunroof and Bose. 03 and 04's all came with the same suspension, just different size wheels (17" and 18"). The third brake light in the rear is there because your car didn't come with the Aero but most likely it was dealer or port installed. Just ask the dealer to disable it so that it's not visible when you brake, then tint over it and no one will know it's there. But don't worry, they can't just "add" the premium package if the car didn't come with it already.

My 03 has the Aero Body Kit on it but I also have the rear/third break light but it has been disabled. The guy I bought it from said he made them install the Body Kit when he saw it sitting on another coupe that was for sale at the dealership because he liked the way it looked. I doubt your car is missing anything, they probably just installed the Aero package once it came over from Japan and that's why you have the rear light, it's got nothing to do with the Premium Package.

Correct me if I'm wrong but doesnt the Premium package also include the Bose extra speaker and sub stuff? A Non-Premium package still has the Blose (but its not badged as that) but no back speakers and sub?
