I was looking at the Outback Sport wagon this weekend, and thought it would be cool to see a sedan with the same trim:

painted like:

The metallic green color with the 'champaign' trim is my favorite look. Is the 02/03 Impreza available in that green? I've seen the wagon, but not the sedan.

Any Photoshoppers want to take a crack at it?

Yuck yuck yuck. It looks pretty dull, but it's the best I could do with the photo. Hopefully it gives your imagination a kickstart.

I might be able to do better with a photo that already has a color. For some reason that seems to work better for me.

Hey, good enough for a starter! I did a Porsche in metallic in a PS class, but I've both forgotten how (Transparent color over the car) and I don't have PS on this computer.

I would consider doing that to a real '02/03, if I go that route: Paint the car (I could live with black or regal blue, if going green is too expensive), cut down a set of roof racks from a wagon, make a smaller rack for the trunk, get a couple sets of 'Outback Sport' badges and modify them to read Outback SS, see how many people I can fool :lol2:

Thanks for the pic.

Would either of these work? I figure the metallic in silver would help some, and you could make the other colors more tranparent.

They actually call the color of the lower trim titanium.
