Default Subaru Sunstrip - Yay or Gay ??

I've been sorely tempted to sort myself out with a decent Subaru sunstrip for the front windscreen - but part of me says it's just down right chav

I know some will say it's down to personal preference, but what's the consensus option on these Yay or Gay ??

Was aiming for a full blue sunstrip same colour as the car with a Subaru logo at either end and Subaru in yellow or white across the middle.

That does look good, much better than a 'Subaru' one (IMO)

Subaru strips look gay imo, you can see its a Subaru, no need to plaster it across the front in fecking great letters!

Sunstrips are fine if theyre subtle. Keep them black in my opinion.
Anything lairy will look chavtastic unless you have a racecar or some sort of sponsorship.

Keep things subtle and you'll be fine

Heres mine, just plain and quite unnoticeable.

Got to agree black and subtle is the way to go regardless of colour of car.

I like the roger clark one though.

dont have subaru written on it though. might as well have saxo written on it and have done imo

The black sunstrip seems to be the most popular option which I'm also quite keen on. Must admit I have eyeing up the Ultimate STImulation graphics to go on top of it. Still not sure on that one though ?!?!

Looks like this,

if you decide on a plain one dont buy a sun strip buy whats known as shelf tape its sticky back thin vinyl in pretty much any colour and in any finish (gloss, matt etc) only costs about £4-5 from any wilkinsons or focus do it all etc. its at least 1.5 metres long and about half metre wide so there's plenty!! its used for covering pvc window sills and kitchen doors etc plus is easy to remove/cut to size!!

what size is your sun strip frayz? my cars the same as yours so gives me a good idea what it will look like.. i need one as the cage means no more visors..i want one identical to this.

is it 20cm high? or 10?

anyone got a pic of the fade in black style ones like these..

ebay item number 250828891982
