My TE doesn't have "titanium colored plastic" on the front grille.

pretty much the bulk of the 2003 SE's that I have seen on dealer lots were TE. Especially if they were fully loaded only the base SEs were none TE so I would have to say that the 03 TE was pretty common for the 2003 production year. THe 2002 SE, GLE and 2003 GLE sales combine would out number the 2003 TE to make it seem as if there were a limited number of them sold though but they are common in comparison to the none 2003 TE and GLE.

Don't forget the TE comes STD with the Bose 6-CD changer, compass mirror, and a sunroof as well. Those are 'big ticket' add ons for a non TE.

I have a TE as well. Unfortunately one of my rims got bent and I am trying to replace it at the moment. It has been a pain in the $^% because i do not want to pay almost $600 for a new wheel. I have been calling the junk yards but all they have are the non-TE finished wheels.

The thing that I hated was that with Glacier Pearl if you wanted the Titanium package you couldnt get the blond cloth interior you had to get frost cloth. That turned me off to the package because I wanted the blond cloth interior. All of the rest of the colors different cloth seating options were available.

Well, too bad the manufacturer didnt put a TE badge on it to distinguish it from the rest- Kelley blue book resale will be the same

If you have a TE, you can add a bit to the resale price.

What is being overlooked about this is that the TE was an option PACKAGE, not a unique vehicle, as opposed to the AE. When it is valued it will be an SE, maybe padded a bit due to options, but still an SE.

808SE: I said that I havent seen one, not that they dont exist altogether. The more loaded max's got the TE. My dealer only had 03 SE TE's.
Simplemax: They arent all that important when the question is about aesthetics.

No intention of proving you wrong. Just wanted to point out that I had one. Interestingly, the reason I picked my car was that it had no options aside from the 6 speed and the HLSD. Do you have a E55AMG? Those cars are amazing.
