Glad it amused you

They are so '90's almost Miami-Vice or Bay Watch undertones there

...Sort of right up there with Shell Suits and 'The Hof'

I took mine off and stuck on a simple STI logo and writing.

I think I would prefer something a bit more subtle, maybe just a discreet STI badge or logo.

Nice carbon dash ... where did that come from, looks superb

Nitosport carbon kit.

They did all the switch gear, the steering column, door handles, air vents and centre consol.

Not cheap though, from what I remember of the paperwork.

Smile Decalls and wear to get them?

I do like them and as i am just about to re spray my 98 Type R i was wondering if anyone knows the original part numbers for the decalls on the boot and the sides (3 door) or if not the best place to get copys.
Really want to keep the car looking as it was when produced.

Whilst looking for some alternatives to these, i found these for sale and Genuine ones, I will just dig through my Intenet history and find the pages for you

Got mine from Scoobyclinic. They do them in different colours too, decided to opt for light grey fading into dark on mine

They look a bit cheaper on GGR website. Best bet I'd say is Ebay, found this for 9 quid delivered http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Subaru-Impeza-...QQcmdZViewItem

Real thing is 40-50 quid, a bit much for a sticker IMHO.
