2006Specb122 Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 Got my first major compliment from a stranger today. Old guy in a new lexus SUV. He pulled down his window and said. "Is that a Subaru? Wow they are making good looking cars these days." Now wasn't that sweet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bicster Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 We've had a lot of compliments. People have no idea what this car is (even with the badges.) At least one of our friends has added the Legacy to their shopping list! Yesterday someone was comparing it to a BMW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrjoshuanyc Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 I have to be honest, I think the car looks naked without any badges. I removed the badge with my dealers name on it but other than that I think I will keep mine stock until I see some good combos. I feel like when I see a BMW without badges, it looks like the owner is trying to hide something. A 525i looks almost just like a 540 if you debadge that. I think Subaru put too much lettering on the back of the LGT but removing all of it? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cars badging never did anything for me in the beginnning. The WRX STI gets an STI badge which makes sense but the SPEC B. gets nothing. You have to know the color scheme and the wheel package and the leather and navigation option to know whether or not it is a Spec B. If all that fails and you're still not sure you have to climb in and look in front of the shifter and see if it has the plaque. It would have been easier if subaru just put SPEC B on the back. Oh well... since that wasn't there I figured nothign should be.... ALL GONE!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

altanic Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 noobie here so forgive me if resurrecting old threads is bad form. :P Anyway, I'm kind of torn on this one. I've been drooling over the Legacy GT for so long and now that I finally own one, I'm sure at least a few of you can understand, I don't much mind people knowing what it is. :) But I do have to admit that there just isn't a lot of room back there for so many badges. I also have an orange and black on chrome Oregon State Beavers license plate border which doesn't really help with the clutter and would stand out much better without all the other stuff. (no, the border won't go... it's a large part of why I chose black in the first place ;) ) Maybe the decision will be easier once I've owned the car for a while, have had to work around those tags for a few polish/wax jobs and the "newness" wears off a bit.

I saw a number of completely debadged Legacies at a meet in Denver last November. I decided to debadge after that because it looked good. Well, I got "Subaru" off as well as "2.5 GT" before forming a blister from rubbing :lol: So I've had just "LEGACY" on my trunk since November/December. Then one morning I was driving into work and saw an A4 completely debadged and it just stood out like a sore thumb. I thought the driver was obviously an enthusiast of some kind and likely modified. I like just a little bit of blending in, so I'll keep that badge on to maintain a little bit of the "Stock" look and not draw attention. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irrational Exuberance Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 great guide, but i found it easy to twist them off once they were good and hot, it seemed to take more of the glue with it. of course this only worked with the "legacy" side since the subaru badge is one peace "i like my women the way i like terrorists... ...screaming gods name and ready to explode." http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/5479/troy3nu5.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTGT Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 i am also on fence off if i should debadge or not. I have a silver and i can't decide if it looks nice or not without the badges. On the black it looks slick but i think with the silver since the littering is silver it works our pretty well and does look naked without them. I DO KNOW THAT UGLY DEALER THING is coming off ASAP!

[IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v74/Jngrbrdman/Legacy/badges/Liberty-and-Turbo.jpg[/IMG] Out of all of them I think I like it best with just the Liberty on it. _________________________________________ “Cleanliness becomes more important as godliness becomes more unlikely.” O C D E T A I L S .

psucaptainkickass Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Take that Turbo off, that is so rice. It might pass if it was right under Liberty, might. IMHO, only have LEGACY/LIBERTY! Straight JDM style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LIBERTY is soooooooo JDM. :rolleyes: I've got a clean piece of my ass you can kiss whenever you get around to it. :lol: I actually tried putting it under the LIBERTY first, but it didn't look right. So on the left side it goes. I had to see it on there to know if I liked it or not. I'm thinking it will probably come off sometime in the future. For now it is on there. Call it rice if you want, but you don't have to drive my car so thanks for your opinion. I'll just file that feedback somewhere I can refer to it later. _________________________________________ “Cleanliness becomes more important as godliness becomes more unlikely.” O C D E T A I L S .

I was talking about the lack of a Subaru or 2.5 GT logo. THAT is straight JDM style right there. I think Legacy/Liberty or whatever the fcuk you want to call your car is awesome as long as its one word and on the right of your ass end. I've just seen too many Porsche Turbos on the back of SRT4 the FASSTTEERUuurrrsss to ever want to see it on one of our cars.

OCDetails Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Who said that badge came off a Porsche? Give me a little more credit than that. I searched long and hard for something unique back there. Do you think I would put something on my car that just any old schmoe could get their hands on? And I pay my rent on your internet every month. Is this how you treat your faithful customers? _________________________________________ “Cleanliness becomes more important as godliness becomes more unlikely.” O C D E T A I L S .

Irrational Exuberance Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 i think that turbo badge needs to be put in a DIY rbs type grill... that would look badass i think "i like my women the way i like terrorists... ...screaming gods name and ready to explode." http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/5479/troy3nu5.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psucaptainkickass Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Going with the Aussie theme...gonna assume it is from a Holden Astra SRi Turbo....but damn...it's real close to a Porsche, well maybe not that close, but it would take a side by side to see the dif.
