whats the difference?

Ok Ive been wondering something. What's the difference between a basic and TC looks wise other then the nose and hood and trim stripe down the side? I hear people saying well it was just a base model made to look like a TC how do you tell without opening the hood if those things have been changed?

You can swap everything over from a TC, only way to tell for sure is to look at the Vin tag, if it starts like 1FABP64, then it's genny TC...
I think Sports are 62, and base and LX are either/or 60, and 61
I know it's some variation though...

The TC also has blacked out window trim and 16" snowflake wheels, and the front bumper is different. Other than that and the differences you mentioned, they're identical, appearance wise...
