PhilT Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 If I put an STi peddle set on my 2.5i can I put an STi badge on my car? Yea, NO. I think a VTEC badge would be more appropriate Double Award Winning Legacy GT Wagon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E-Tank Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 I recently came to my own conclusion about STI emblems. The USDM Legacy GT is not an STI. Period. To put STI emblems on the grille or the trunk lid is total poser (except in rare cases like AKLGT, who had an STI swap). At the same time though, putting STI emblems on other parts of the car (not the body) is acceptable. Subtlety is the key to keeping it classy. Basically, it's rice when people are trying to be something that they're not. Amirite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't seem to get it, there is no such thing as an "STi", it is a tuning arm of Subaru. Why would a "swap" be relevant ? You do realise that the longblock engine in the '05 LGT was the same longblock that was in the '05 Impreza WRX STi ? The only reason people in the early days did the STi swap, was because there were no LGT fitment aftermarket turbos. So basically it was a very complicated turbo swap Double Award Winning Legacy GT Wagon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My car was not tuned by STI so emblems off an Impreza that was really don't belong on my car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legacygtkc Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 lame. i have debadged all badges on every car i have owned. looks so muuccch cleaner. also keeps everyone asking what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theGeneral Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Yea, I just don't understand people who put badges on a car that didn't come on the car. Stickers are one thing, I understand that but to put a badge on a car to make it look like something it isn't? That is rice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTride05 Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 You guys are to funny! I am down with the more positive people in this thread but you negative people are really going that extra mile like people are painting a huge STI logo across the hood or side of the car... Why is a lil sti badge such a big deal? Its a suby related, I just dont get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merc6 Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 I have the door decals. They are subtle than I thought they would be. Now instead of people asking how my fusion is in the snow, they can let me know my STi decal is missing a "L". I put it on cause regardless people will always think it's not a real STi and I bet it runs 16 flat. So far most the actual STi drivers here can't shake me. 2005 Satin White Pearl Subaru Legacy 2.5 GT Unlimited 5EAT (Project Car) 2019 Agate Black Ford Explorer XLT 4WD (DD) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

05Boost Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 I debadge my spec b emblem and put on an PZEV front mount and get a 2.5i hood and then its a real sleeper to me, maybe even ELHs to get rid of the sound and then i would have a really confused look on my face.

MattD Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 I don't see a problem with putting an STi badge on a Subaru. I have owned both an STi and RSTi, so I feel like I have some ground for the argument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
