OK- so here's my car stock: [img]http://premium.uploadit.org/cultofthejedi/stocklights.jpg[/img] And here it is with cleared headlights- does it seem like much of a change on silver? On other cars, the difference seems more dramatic: [img]http://premium.uploadit.org/cultofthejedi/moddedlights.jpg[/img] And here's the rear of my XT stock: [img]http://premium.uploadit.org/cultofthejedi/stockback.jpg[/img] Would it look better with the Subaru badge gone (I think having the badge AND the stars is redundant): [img]http://premium.uploadit.org/cultofthejedi/nosuby.jpg[/img] Or does it look better with the SUBARU and the OUTBACK debadged? [img]http://premium.uploadit.org/cultofthejedi/xtonly.jpg[/img] Before anyone asks, I'm not taking all the badges off- I like the 2.5XT badge a lot.

I love the clears, great look to me. I wish it came like that stock. Also for debadging, I think either all of nohting. I don't like just the 2.5XT badge there. But I don't think it would look too bad with the Subaru badge gone.

I'm not a fan of cleared headlights, but I have the tail of my wagon completely debaged, except for the blue oval in the center. Easier to wax, and my personal theory is as long as I know what kind of car it is... Kevin

The clear headlights are real nice. I say go for it. As for the debaging, I'm an all or nothing guy myself. The rear of the OB is pretty busy with the reverse lights and the chrome trim over the plate. I don't see much difference at first glance.

Clear headlights are awesome, I love the look of them. As for debadging, I always liked the JDM look (and I think the EDM versions are the same, at least in the pics) with just Legacy on the back. That's how mine is, and I do think it makes people wonder, because from the back you don't know which one I have :D .

I went with the completely debadged look - pretty much for the same reasons Kevin stated - easier to maintain and I already know what kind of car it is.

 

Here's a pic - before I put the muddy mountain bike inside.

I think the debadging looks great. But you may want to consider leaving the AWD badge just in case it needs to be towed and your not around. I would hate to see one of our wonderful subies being towed behind instead of on a flat bed. If the badge isn't on the car how is the layman tow truck driver suppose to know it all wheel drive.

There aren't any AWD badges. Only on the windows, whcih mine are now gone after the tinting. Maybe I'll just get some chrome naked lady mudflaps that say 4X4, that way the tow truck driver will know!

[quote name='crapy']jaycee, any more pic on ur wagon?[/quote] I posted other pics but they're from before the debadge.

By the way, I left the AWD stickers on the windows when I had the tint done just in case I ever need to be towed.

[quote name='Th3Franz']After clearing the head lights, do you put in new, orange signal bulbs?[/quote] Yeah, I did- I'm looking for a bulb that's silver, but lights orange- I think they're called silverstars.
