Wow, that's a loaded qestion.
Sticking to model year 86, the GXL is the luxury model. Better audio system, power windows, locks, mirrors, etc. Came with some mechanical goodies too, LSD, four piston brakes, etc.
The Sport Package came with some additional aero pieces, two sideskirts behind the doors, a spoiler, an additional aluminum belly pan. Also had 'sport tuned suspension." Didn't have all the luxury options.
The Base was the strip down. No big brakes, four lug wheels (all others had five lugs).
Edit - I knew someone would post that picture after I tried to remember it all. From top to bottom that covers 86, 87, and 88.

So wait? The silver belly pan under the tranny is an added option thingy?
I have the stock plastic shroud and then after the brace there is another covering the oilpan/tranny.
Also I have the little wedge skirts in front of the rear fenders and a small lip with wedges before the front wheels. Is that the aero package?
Corey,

RX-7: The New Mazda RX-7 and Rotary Engine sports Cars by Jack Yamaguchi (referred to as the "FC book")
RX-7: The New Mazda RX-7, Mazda's legendary Sports Car by Jack Yamaguchi (the FD book)
RX-7 Mazda's Rotary Engine Sports Car by Brian Long
Mazda RX-7 Gold Portfolio 1978-1991
Mazda RX-7 Performance Handbook (a disappointment IMHO)
Sports Car Color History - Mazda RX-7
Add in a brochure, a parts catalog and service manual for my year, and I have a nice library.
The Yamaguchi books are incredible. They are out of print, so kind of hard to find. I found the FC one on eBay and the FD one from a Borders computer search. The rest can still be bought easily.

Yeah, my uncle bought me that book, I thought it really sucked, there isn't really any good part to it.
