au_liberty Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Hello there, I know a few members have custom subaru badge overlay decals on their front/rear or steering wheel Subaru Logo badges which look nice. I ordered from Ebay a set of replacement badges with black plastic surrounds (AUD $55) which I am waiting for shipment, however I was unaware of these decals at the time of purchase. I will post a pic of those below. However I was hoping that anyone who is using these decals could share some close up shots of how well the decal sits on the concave badge, and what the material looks like. Does it appear shiny and nicely fitting as though it could have come out of the factory already on the car? Also curious where you purchased/ordered yours from? I was looking at this one website I found on Goolge and I like the option of being able to fully customize the colour from a wide range of choice, including carbon fibre texture etc. I will have to wait and see how they look once received and will post pics once I have installed them (granted they fit). But I do like the fact you can match up the steering wheel badge with the decals. These are tbe ones I ordered: http://i962.photobucket.com/albums/ae108/muncee/Mobile%20Uploads/Screenshot_20170412-194321.png http://i962.photobucket.com/albums/ae108/muncee/Mobile%20Uploads/Screenshot_20170412-194326.png http://i962.photobucket.com/albums/ae108/muncee/Mobile%20Uploads/Screenshot_20170412-194336.png Sent from my SM-N920I using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Grey Goose Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 I've been wanting some overlays, but I just can't decide on a color. I was thinking Gray with black stars, but it may be too dark, and the gray might not be a good match. http://i707.photobucket.com/albums/ww76/ticonderoga16/IMG_0731_edited-1_zpscukadfmx.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

au_liberty Posted April 12, 2017 Author Share Posted April 12, 2017 Have you tried Photoshopping and see what looks best? This is an awesome idea, I wanted to do the same with regards to rims and plasti dip options however my laptop which had photoshop died some months ago. I have my phone or my work computer, I suppose I could try the Pixlr website. Sent from my SM-N920I using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the matte black and chrome look on the CG cars. I sold one of my friends on them too, but she got chrome and pink. Here is where I got them: http://emblemoverlays.com/products/subaru-stars Shipping took like 10 days IIRC. Fitment is perfect. If you have a good eye and steady hands you can nail installation in one shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humble Rumble Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Seconding ProStickers/emblemoverlays.com. I have gotten three sets of different overlays from them since owning my Legacy, and all of them are fantastic. Fitment is perfect, they are durable as hell, and they look excellent. Plus the fact you get front, back and steering wheel is pretty sweet for the price. They will also work with you to do custom designs, and even with that, the prices are still insanely reasonable. My most recent one, I worked up an idea for a Japanese Rising Sun overlay. I sent it to them, they communicated back and forth with me to get it perfect, and made it into reality. The quality is outstanding, and they even liked my design enough that they added it to the site. Highly recommend them. 2012 Legacy 3.6R Build Thread 5th Gen Legacy BM/BR Body Kit Compendium Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pnbnatiojnsbest Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 So at first I thought those paddle extensions were stupid looking....buuuuuuuut now I think that I want some black ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humble Rumble Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 So at first I thought those paddle extensions were stupid looking....buuuuuuuut now I think that I want some black ones. You can get them here. 5th and 6th gen Legacy have the same paddles as the BRZ. (Personal gripe, it's kind of annoying how SubiSpeed doesn't even acknowlege the existance of the Legacy). http://www.subispeed.com/2013-subaru-brz/interior/steering-wheels/shifter-paddles/subispeed-mk2-automatic-flappy-paddle-extensions-2013-ft86-automatic-2015-wrx-cvt-2014-forester-xt-cvt If you get them, I recommend installing them with 3M tape rather than using the provided set-screws. The screws will dig into your stock paddles and leave permanent marks. 3M can be easily removed with some heat or goo-gone. 2012 Legacy 3.6R Build Thread 5th Gen Legacy BM/BR Body Kit Compendium Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep seeing stuff about their WRX switchback fog light bezels and I would kill to have that for my legacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
au_liberty Posted May 6, 2017 Author Share Posted May 6, 2017 My overlays finally arrived 3 weeks later - chrome on black. I'm not overly in love with how they look. The steering wheel overlay looks pretty dope but the exterior emblems look both too close to stock and a little cheap and tacky. In saying this, it could be due to a poor install on my behalf haha. I'm thinking of matte black on gloss black for my next order. http://i962.photobucket.com/albums/ae108/muncee/Mobile%20Uploads/20170506_140553.jpg http://i962.photobucket.com/albums/ae108/muncee/Mobile%20Uploads/20170506_140608.jpg http://i962.photobucket.com/albums/ae108/muncee/Mobile%20Uploads/20170506_140531.jpg Sent from my SM-N920I using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upstater Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 My white legacy has exterior badge overlays carbon fiber black background with white stars. It looks good, most of the ebay vendors have their own website that you can find for custom orders, if the auction doesn't state custom orders are available already. I have done vinyl overlays on all my Subaru's, they last a long time and look good imho. http://i1307.photobucket.com/albums/s587/Zeeper1/IMG_1327_zpsxcdsgmtp.jpg http://i1307.photobucket.com/albums/s587/Zeeper1/IMG_1326_zpspj3z3qba.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree in that it doesn't look bad, however I have ordered new setup like the below as I think it will look more stealth [emoji13] http://www.subyclub.com/uploads/gallery/album_145/med_gallery_5940_145_917143.jpeg Sent from my SM-N920I using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Grey Goose Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 As long as you like it! That's personally too much black for me, but I can understand the appeal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
