Whats the deal with the red pinstripe around the 06 grill?
I continue to see pictures or cars with that red pinstripe around the center grill of 06+ cars. Whats that all about? Is that the "Im faster" badge?
Seriously...why is everyone doing that now days? -Dj

Most people like the looks of it,
Others like the VW look. That's all, nothing more. IMHO, it is their car, they are allowed to do as they wish. |

I'm surprised the "...your car is not an RA-R so you cant do that!!" flaming hasn't already started.
Give it time though |

That looks really good on 06+ but the 05 prior look like a POS.

I'm actually thinking about illuminating my Subaru logo with LED's from the back. I think it would look cool. Once I get my project started, I'll post pics.

If you search for the DIY I wrote you will see that it is half full of people with questions and pics, and half full of "you're stupid, you don't own an RA-R". Why did I do it? I find that the install/modding process is just as fun as buying new parts. A part you buy and bolt on in 10 minutes isn't as gratifying as doing some handiwork, no matter how simple it may be. Plus, at least on the WRB cars, I think the red stripe adds a sense of dimension and helps to define the front end and create a focal point. I intend to make my front badge red at some point too to go with my red on blue theme.
Did the idea originate from the RA-R? Yes. Do I claim to be one, have one, imitate one? No. |
