This is a spec D:



The US had 800 of the STI Limiteds, only available in White and Urban Grey. In the UK there were only 25, but in a wider range of colours, I think with 5 or 6 dealers getting them all.

The official US site for them is:

2007 Subaru WRX STI Limited

and more info here:

2006 New York Auto Show - 2007 Subaru Impreza WRX STI Limited
Yeah mate I have a spec D. It actually has the same wheels. In fact, with the exception of extra equipment (whether you like it or not), the only difference is the rear spoiler and the lip spoiler. I'm actually putting the a-line boot spoiler on mine this month (£200) as agree it is better. There were 300 Spec D's - UK only and only in Crystal Grey.

Basically there are 3 very very similar cars: spec D, JDM A-line and the Limited.

Cheers Mikkel

Thought the wheels were the same. Brembos painted a different colour also.

The USDM limited also got heated seats, sunroof, and auto dimming rear view mirror.

I dont know that the Limited spoiler is any better than the one on the spec d. I like the Limited spoiler, but might well replace it with a spec-c carbon or S204 style one...will involve drilling new holes and filling the ones left behind though :/

Warranty is not of major importance tbh
Ive heard that the 05 model has quite a few updates though?
