Is my car a GT?

Hi Everyone,

I was wondering if someone could clarify if my car is a SP or a GT? I have tried looking this up online but it only seems like there was a SP or a Shinka for ’05… or maybe I’m an idiot who knows.

My car was sold to me (12/30/08) as a SP… although it has power/heated leather seats, DSC switch, moon roof, Bose system, etc, etc… if it is a GT where can I find more info about the features?

Or am I an idiot?

(is bored at work)

Did the '04 GTs have heated side mirrors? Cause mine doesn't (unless I don't know how they work), but it has all the other GT goodies.

I'm wondering if the heated side mirrors didn't start until a later year... unless I'm a tard and do not know how to turn them on.

GT also has Xenon headlights. Lesser grade might have it too, not sure, but I know I went out of my way to make sure I had proper headlights.
