I thought there were more differeces between the GT-B & the 3RB than this? Perhaps I'm thinking before 2007?

Pretty sure the 3RB's also have a chrome strip on the side skirts (Just under the doors).

Other then that & the bonnet scoop, I'm not aware of any other external differences.

There were more differences between the 3.0L & other Liberty models in the pre-face lift generation Gen 4's.

Yes I thought pre face lift the 3RB had some distinctive wheels, shame they didn't between 07-09 just to add some flavour.

My GTB-R has a 'subaru' chrome strip inside the door well, I assume it was on all GTB's, perhaps it was some added bit on the R's.

Do you mean the side sill plates, similar to these but says Subaru of course.

They are on all of the Libertys I think.

Ah ok, yes I didn't think there was anything extra listed on the R like this. Mine are silver with Subaru written in them, is this the same as yours?

You have your engine on the outside of your car?
You should probably get that looked at.

The SpecB 3.0's have a chrome strip on the exterior side skirt. To my knowledge the GTB's dont (even though they look great when clean). So that and the bonnet scoop are the only exterior differences.
