I have spent lot of time and money on moding the WRX and now looks very much like an Sti Impreza. Iv sorted the handling so it goes around corners like an Sti, it has the correct spoilers, will next week have a full Brembo conversion so will stop like an Sti, and will soon be mapped to close to 300hp so goes like an Sti.

In not one for creating replicas but the sides are missing something and i like the look of the badge details. I know the mods dont make it an Sti modified car but i cant think of anything else.

Are there alternatives that are simular to the Sti decals??

WRX ?

Afterall that's what it is. Plastering STI stickers all over it will make selling a problem IMO. Insurance would be a problem too. Yeah, It's a WRX but I advertise it to thiefs as a better more nickable car.

Don't do it, why not get some grafix made up for the side similar to the STI ones and have them say WRX, whatever you do don't try and pass it off as an STI.

Thats what i was thinking to be honest.

Im not one for advertising my car as something it isnt, thats why im after alternatives.

How about:

I've just checked yours out and it looks pretty smart as it is, very similar cosmetic mods to me, all you need now are rear tints, clear front indicator bulbs and a 3/4 size front plate.

Dont worry about any more stickers. leave it as it is.

i got sti stickers on the side of my car (came with the rally graphics) dont really think about it to be honest. (black on silver)

i do however have the black "i" badge up front

i also have STI fog light covers, which were on the car (pink graphics)

i guess there are some sti bits which go on scoobies. same as putting RS stuff on fords years ago.

each to their own.

Thanks for the nice comments lads, i am well happy with the way the car looks, it just doesnt feel finished. Maybe im just looking for things to do and should just leave it as is.

Tell me about it, I was done 5 mods ago but still keep finding little things to do, indicator bulbs and grill mod this weekend (cheap mods at last)!!

Next on the list for me is fog light covers for summer use only though!!

Stunning car as it is, I would probably de-badge the boot and leave it at that, don't think window tints would suit that colour IMO.

Stay away from the STI stickers!!!

Get some made up to reflect the HP or who did the mapping if you need to fill that gap (like the '333' ones)

Stick with WRX - great brand anyway - you'll just get the p*ss ripped out of you if you go with STi badging. I agree - that's not fair, no doubt your car is as good if not better than some STi's - but others will rightly claim it's still NOT a true STi though.

Mikkel

Do whatever you want mate, it's your car after all...

Mine is an STI but I removed the badging that the previous owner added... moral is we all like different things on our cars and if you want to replicate the STI then go for it. I personally wouldn't put any badges on at all... keep em guessing.

hardsy555

how come you didnt just buy an sti in the first place

Exactly what i was thinking mate.

As has been said,leave alone now - it's a belter as it is

jjones

you could get your own logo made up, i wwas thinking along the lines of

Subaru Honorary International Tecnica or S.H.I.T for short

only kidding it looks mint

mgcvk

Maybe just debadge the back...more enigmatic! If it has a wrx badge (can't quite see) then remove it. Car looks great so don't see the need for Sti badging.

Your car looks cool as it is, dont make yourself look sad by putting STi stickers on it when its not an STi.
Be proud of what it is, a cracking example of a WRX
Nik.

NeilP1

just looked at your car and wr1 come to mind
try WR(*) them a star or WR? make it your own car with the badge
i have a good m8 that can do you what you want for the back/fogs
pm me he has done my 93WRX p1 and now sti

scooby from the valleys

How about where you got your WRX badge add a couple of chrome letters after it such as WRXTRA, going along the lines of the Type RA ? Just an idea!

DAVE-W

But it's even less an RA than it is an STi?

andythejock01wrx

Yup Evil - cool car, leave as is !

My WRX is on 300bhp+ and only has a tiny "Ecutek" sticker on the boot to distinguish it.

Lush looking car mate. Well done.

Do what you want to do fella. It's your car.

Thinking about it, that's probably the best option. It won't shout either WRX or STI then so you can let people guess. It might be a more convincing STI then too (assuming that's what you want people to think? )

I dont think i will do anything to it. I know where people are coming from, as already said, im not trying to copy an Sti, just make the car something better. The Sti badging was all i could think of. Maybe i will debadge it, it would keep people guessing.

As for the person who asked why i didnt buy an Sti in the first place, some reason everyone buys a WRX..........Budget. I could have saved up for one but figured i would have more fun making the car my own and saving some money.

Once again, thanks for the comments!
