with that extra tape you should run red rings on your rims :banana:

Home made RA....

Real RA....

I'd say the home made one looks pretty darn good. Might have to do this myself but since I have the CBR i badge on the front, the brighter red might not look right. Anyone know where to get CBR pinstriping?
kennyvb 03-27-2007 09:19 PM

it works on the ra because it matches the sti emblem
Sylon 03-27-2007 09:37 PM

I think it looks a lot better against the white then it does against the black, but I still like it.

I believe that is 3M red... I'm talking about the red color that matches the STI
El Capitan 03-28-2007 12:25 PM

After looking at this, I'm thinking the local sign shop might have some stuff to match the color of my JDM i badge. Hell, if they have some real thin scrap they just might give it to me free out of the trash.

Might have to call Gilly.

Looks sexy on black. Someone should try doing it to the other side grills on the 06-07.

I think you should try putting the pin stripe on the outter edge of the grille, closer to the bumper.

SiFuSpEc 03-28-2007 03:12 PM

seems to go okay with your car, i didn't like mine and it was just a test, mine's now back to its trim black glory :) repainted smooth..
dhdsman 03-28-2007 04:14 PM

I just did this to my 07 WRB STI and I think it looks great. Thanks for the write up. It took me 30 minutes or so from popping the hood to closing the hood...
imprezaowner27 03-28-2007 04:20 PM

Hey guys i kinda went a little pinstripe happy and did the outer wings of the grill too....

EDIT FOR PICS....AND ON A SIDE NOTE...my emblem is missing due to paint...red and white to match baby

Blowby 03-28-2007 09:15 PM

huh,...maybe it's just my p.o.s computer but I can't see those last pics, it won't link up.

Anyways, come friday (payday) I might just have to do some looking around for some pink stripes. I might just do the red for the moment though. Looks real good though.

red on white is HOT~... think this is the next thing im gonna try :)
Mechie3 03-29-2007 09:20 AM

I kinda like all three pieces done. Not sure if I'll do it myself.

For the guy who said it didn't stick out as much as he wanted to:
I think that's part of the subtleness. You don't notice it at first but as you get closer...whoa, look at that, that's cool.
FreNetiC WRX 03-29-2007 10:43 AM

nice, i've wanted that grill for a while, looks sick..

Type RA-R grill...
Here's a few pics of my 07 UGM STi Limited with all 3 grill pieces striped in red...Let me know what you think. I think it looks HAWT..Don't worry about the water spots..
I recently took her to a quarter car wash and drove home.. Those things don't completely remove all the water...

SAMSNEED 03-30-2007 03:03 PM

pics sent to 1st scooby. It is pretty ghetto the way I did it but effective. Well I did it with the red tape and decided that red and pink clashes a little , so I called a local sign shop , they had some but not exact and wanted $25 for 1/4 in 2 ft long piece. So I came home saw some of my wife nail polish that matches almost perfectly and painted over the red tape, so there is no paint on the actual grill itself. I ran another pin stripe along the edge of the original, painted, and then peel off the temp. pin stripe for a flawless line. You can get nail polish anywhere some might think this is stupid but hey it works for me, If 1st scooby host my pics for me you will probally agree with me.
rukkie 03-30-2007 03:24 PM

hmm... i wouldn't paint nail polish over red tape and put it on a car... you know nail polish isn't permanent, and the smooth surface on the stripes really don't make them adhere any better
