pet hate of mine
i think its sorta okay with "some" sti bits
but not badge only
kinda ricey i  think  :Pardon:

Personally I think it’s a no no...

I really don’t see why you’d want to ad extra badges to your car anyway???

It's your car though so do what you want with it

Even if you have sti bits its not an STI so don't put them on.

Up to the person, but why do it when the car isn't that model, it's like when ppl pop on a M3 badge on a 318i or a chevy badge on a Holden.

I say de badge urs mate or grab a nice Jap style Suby badge.

Say for instance you have a v3 sti block in your gt. A small decal may be permitted but with nothing sti then rice. Like an Excell with a bodykit and cannon. Too tryhard.

There's a couple of things to consider.

1) >>Its not like its trying to be a STI
I think it is.  esp. when selling a car, it is a bit like false advertising.

2) aside from that, as long as it's faster, handles better, and looks meaner than the factory STi/tuned by STi, then it's ok.

To me an STI is like AMG for merc.



But an STI is a full on built STI not a normal car with sti bits.

As bad as this sounds but aren't Tuned by STI Libertys normal cars with STI bits? The only Libertys built by STI were the S401 and now the S402.

no only if they where there from the factory, but then i would take them off anyway

Ok so the discussion came up today about putting an STI badge on your subaru when it is infact not tuned by STI.

I was quite offended to hear that it would be the same as putting a GTR badge on a GTS-T. Placing a GT or Spec.B badge would be the equivalent. STI is the same as Nismo.

What are your opinions on this?

Is it acceptable to put a STI badge on a Subaru?

My opinion is if it has STI parts in it/on it. It is acceptable.
