Default A couple of little changes (maybe)

I was thinking of making a couple of little changes to my car, i've had a go at photoshop to see what they would look like before & after and was wondering what everyone else thought.

first off a photo of the car with a grille badge and one without




second a photo of the tailgate with the Subaru badges and one without




Cheers

like it mate,i think it looks tidy without the grill badge,more aggressive and the back takes me back to old french back that the golfs used to have,given me some food for thought for my classic wagon!

Dont know why but I think it looks a little bland with no badges on the bootlid, I think you need the **** of STI spoiler to get away with de-badged rear, just my 2p worth

Maybe just leave the 'WRX' badge on there, thats what I did when I had my OEM bootlid on.

Silver's such a nice colour

Yes I have to agree with Jim... just the WRX badge looks good.

No lock on the 04's.... remote tail release from within the comfort of the cabin.

De-badge rear with the waist spoiler looks fine, but without I'm not sure.

I've just removed the subaru lettering on my boot (although a 4 door), came off fairly easily but just a bit of advice, I found that the glue used has stained the laquer and it took an electric polisher/mop to get it right. Def something that couldn't be done by hand. Other than that, well pleased!.

that was what i wanted to do initially, its easy to get hold of carbon vinal that looks just right. however the cost of a carbon rear sti wagon spoiler would be stupid...a blobeye rear spoiler on the other hand is much smaller
