    Do you drive an STI? If so, no. If not, hell yes.

    If its nicely modified, and there are some gofast parts on it, put it on. I personally say no, however, as it is quite "poser-ish."

    I don't like emblems tho. (I can't believe I still haven't de-badged my trunk yet. lol)

    Agreed. Debadged goodness abounds.

    Yeah I have plenty of go fast goodies and probably have more STi parts than WRX parts for the suspension. I built the grill to look like the JDM STi grill which has the emblem which is why I contemplated putting it on. That and I have nothing else to do with it.

    I like my trunk debadged but I think the grill looks better with the subie emblem on it. I'll throw up a picture of it on when the silicone dries.

    I don't think I am going to put the STi emblem on.

    If you like the way it looks then do it.

    I've spent time with this car and can vouch for all of the legitimate STi parts on it. I'd say it deserves the STi badge for the suspension alone.

    My bugeye has the STi grill on it with the STi badge. I like it. I can take some pics if wanted.

    My bugeye has the JDM STi grill in it too as well I like the STi badge on. Seen as how I have the STi head lights, grill, hood scoop, and it will be getting a 6spd over time it is slowly becoming one.

    Doesn't matter what people think. If it makes you enjoy your Subie more, do it!
