back to the main topic though, welcome to the site! sound's like ur getting a sweet Alero and I bet you'll find everything you need here, just use the search button!

Well, that's fairly well generalized and '03-'04 specific. The two things that always remained constant are that all GX models have crank windows and all GLS models have leather.
Really, the way to tell what you have is by your VIN or the RPOs.
The easy way is if the 5-th digit of the VIN is..
K for a GX
L for a GL
F for a GLS

OK, so I finally picked it up last Friday and drove it back to Maryland from SC. It had 19,400 miles on it when I picked it up. It even still smelled new. Nice car, I like it a lot! I've got it inspected and registered and all too. Picked up the front license plate mount yesterday at a dealer that's across the street from my work. They got it overnight. So all I've got to do left is to mount the front license plate holder (and the OEM one fits on the car perfectly), and put on the front and back plates. Then I'll put in a new air filter, flush the brakes (never been done on this car), and get one of those windshield repair kits and fix the small crack on the windshield. So far this "free" car has cost me about $550, but that's still really cheap for what's essentially a new car. Fortunately in Maryland for a car > 7 yeard old, they sales taxes you pay is only 6% on $640, so my total license and registration fees were only $240 (and that lasts for 2 years).
Everyone at my work, and my GF are pretty impressed by the car.

I just put my new Maryland plates on it this morning before coming to work. Yes, I'll have to take some pics today since it really does look better than the sample one I ripped off and reposted before. I don't know about the clear corners yet, I figure I should change the air filter (still original), flush the brake system (not sure how to do that on an anti-lock brake system), and wax it before I attempt to actually do anything to it.
I like the stock stereo except that the CD player doesn't do CD-RW. but I kind of expected that from a 1999 model. I don't think I'll ever use the casette player part. I don't think the stock head unit has CD changer control built in, but if it does I might add a changer.

Hmmm nice car! looks like new indeed 
Well I knew my car was a GX, and now I know it has the sport package because its manual with spoiler and 15 inch aluminium wheels. Only thing it doesnt have is the leather wrapped steering wheel 
Anybody has one laying around ? (does the steering wheel fits all years? I guess)

Correct. And as at least one of you have noted, the car is essentially new.
I haven't tried driving it hard, but from the looks of it, and the tires, I bet it handles really good too. |

How rare is this color anyway? I'm thinking that if I ever see one my color in the JY with a rear spolier, I should grab said spolier. |
