Fwiw: JDM "Red Hazard" Switch = $pend Fail

[stiXXX]

Just a heads-up folks.

A "JDM" red hazard switch costs approx. $55 to import thru japanparts.com.

You can buy a USDM 2007 STi Limited red hazard button online for about $25.00.

Same switch, half price.

I bought a "JDM" one a while back, saw the '07 Ltd. version a couple nights ago online.

Another Note: There's also the '07 STi Ltd. "black" dash replacement mod, but it's really dark charcoal.

The JDM "S204", Imported dash-if you can get it, is actually dark black.

Ze' Moral of ze' Story?

If upgrading your STi interior, look at USDM 2007 STi Limited parts lists, before importing parts and peeesing

away your hard-earned cash.

Did you know under the silver paint all the usdm switches are red? Ive seen really cheap people just scratch it off.

the only issue with the limited dash pieces is that the come predrilled over the ashtray for the number plate. There is no way to order a number plate afaik and you'd be stuck with 2 holes in the plastic.

Nate, ALL the parts are JDM, Yo!

Trev, I think japanparts.com can get them-if asked those guys source just about anything.

If that Failed, one could find a "Things Remembered" store @ a mall or a trophy shop.

They can cut and engrave any size/shape/color plate that one could want.

A matte black plate, engraved is <$20.
