Luxury seats
Slats in the front instead of mesh
Different side skirts
Some have wood trim
There are some more, but those are the biggest differences.

Contours Standard (I am fairly sure)
Luxury Seats= powered, non-vader
More intricate leather interior door panels

They do weight more because the seats are heavier. It doesn't really matter that much, especially if it's just a street car. My manual say 3175 lbs. 100 lbs. = ~.1 seconds in the 1/4 mile.

The seat weights between the sedan seats and vader seats is about 15 lbs each I believe. Not much of a difference.
