LE's have "celica" stiched on the seats. little badge on the rear view mirror. badges on the fenders. Also I think 97 was the last year they made ST's. Only a certain amoutn were produced, I have yet to see a 98 or 99 st.
So i guess thats why they are limited. --------------------  I will return one day. |

there was no GT Limited Edition or 25th Aniv Edition. but your right about the verts and Gilbert is right, the LE and 25AE models were merely marketing ploys in an attempt to move more ST's. sorry to burst your bubbles guys  edit: also 96 had the 25 AE while 97 was the LE just to clarify |

actaully.... the 25th les were only produced in 1996. there were le's made in 97 butnot 25th. theres nothing speacial floormats and badging. it was also the model that changed the looks of the celica. 96 and below had the smiley face and orange turns. and 96 and up have the more aggressive looking bumper and clear turns. other then that theres no difference.....

Also- the only GT limieted editions, or AE's were the convertibles, and they only came in black or green (an exclusive color) with a tan top... dunno if anybody stated this already

Yours is a JDM SS-I Special Edition celica- sorta like the US limited edition ST. From factory literature it should have the celica enbrodered seats, a rear spoiler, and 6 speaker CD/cassette system... Also, most came in a dark blue color exclusive to the special edition, code 8L2, but they were also available in all other factory colors. -------------------- Car #3: 98 Accord LX- purchased 5/06, totaled 8/06
