It was a pain in the ass to do the corners using the pin striping tape but it was worth it :banana:!

Love your plate delete, how did you make it/get it?
wrx2oo2 07-29-2008 02:30 AM

Made it at work, took a piece of 1/4" black plexiglass, rounded the edges, and cutout the STi symbol on vynil by hand, by printing out a "STi" template I created on Photoshop CS real quick.

I love the DIY, cheap mods to make your car just look that much more different from the rest~

Finally
Painted the headlights and did the RA-R stripe. Just standard 3M reflective tape cut down to 1/2inch.

z28ss43 08-03-2008 07:07 AM

I dunno about a biker vest - but yea it does have a little "reflective-ness" - Now i wanna go outside and aim another cars headlights and high beams to see if those will light it up lol.

Mechie3 08-03-2008 07:28 AM

That almost looks like the real deal RA-R since it has some depth to the stripe. I like it.

Looks Great!
wrx2oo2 08-11-2008 01:05 AM

Yeap pinstripping all 3-pieces is the way to go. Looks way better than the one in the middle.

Blowby 12-31-2008 01:40 PM

put some pinstripes on my buddie's 06 Honda CBR 600RR a little while back and had forgotten about this mod. I still have some striping left over and I will be putting some of the left overs on the Subie :banana:
SleeperWgn 01-02-2009 05:07 PM

I've got a set of Rota SDX time attacks (black w/red lip). So when these go on my NEWPORT BLUE wagon, I'm gonna do this mod to match the rims. I'll post pics then. Thanks for all the pics and the great idea!

I saw this on a car at a local autocross and have wanted to do it ever since. My previous car was an 07 2.5i. I had no idea it was as simple as some tape or pinstriping! :banana:

I purchased my WRX a week ago and this is officially my first mod!
Thanks to all in this thread for the inspiration - BEST DIY EVER!!

Here are some pics I snagged with my iPhone (plus some Photobucket fun).

yeah...the red X's are evil. It is rough being on the DOD comps...if only they would just unblock photobucket it would be just fine, but no, they have to put us through the pain :sadbanana:

[quote=mellow;23201853]Anybody done this with a Grillcraft grill?[/quote]

Just did a few weeks ago. I put on the grill first like normal, then cleaned everything up. I used a pencil to mark all the way across as far under the grill as i could and used it as a guide to put the stripe right in front of. (obviously disassemble again to put the stripe on and then reassemble one last time) :D

*p.s. I have an 08 but yours should work the same, you just have to do a smaller area 3 times

Hmm I was always against the stripe... but now its tempting me. I'm gonna get a black grillecraft upper grille and red and black STI badge so I think I might have to do it.
