^ Dude that pinstriping is HUGE!!!

I have seen it done on all three and I have seen it on just the center. I even tried it out on my bugeye for a few weeks, but I didn't like how it looked with a WRB car, gold wheels, Morettes, and a Pink Subaru badge, so I took it off. In your case, I would find some thinner pinstriping and start over.

I can't believe anyone actually fell for it. It does give my an idea for my interior though, just so happens I have all kinds of tape in many, many colors.

I prefer the super-clean look. I'd rather have a sleeper, that nobody suspects of being fast, than a slow wrx with the wing, badges, blacked out headlights (which I guess the cool kids call "murdered out" these days), and 255's on +20 offset.

I know that is a large crowd here on NASIOC, and my intention is not to offend.

I believe we should all do what WE want with OUR cars, and folks can dislike something but still respect differing tastes. We have a 12 year old boy that likes neon orange and green together, on cars that I think are ****, but I don't discourage him from what he is interested in.

I think it looks pretty cool as a sublte accent. At least they're keeping it sublte. Could be worse...

Honestly who cares. I've been on this forum for 5 years and all I ever hear over and over again is, bodykits are rice, big wings are rice, anything that's not stock is rice, anything that's not a gc8 is rice. Well I've had it, I hate the gc8, a n/a car with a hood scoop is stupid, the V7 sti wheels are ugly, I love big wings and pinstripes and a sh**load of graphics, I think the 04/05 WRX and STI were the sexiest, most aggressive Imprezas ever made, and I salute anyone who does anything they want to their car that makes it stand out. Here's a thought to all of you when some jackass rolls up and wants to race. Tell them to go F*** themselves.

And furthermore, everyone is stealing designs. Have you noticed how much the suzuki grand vitara looks like a forrester, or how the forenza looks like an 06 rs? The toyota FJ cruiser looks eerily like a H2. So go ahead, make your car look like something else no car has rights to one design.

Perhaps where you live, but PDX has a veritable cornucopia of really fast '02-'07's. At least you have a good rear suspension design, no one can take that from you.
