IMHO, only people who should put decals are pepole who have sponsors, meaning that they have to put them on. But that's where our opinions part...

im not talking about rediculous ammounts of decals on a car, or anything like that. like i said....stratigically and tastefully placed decals like such.



granted the car would look good without em, but the decals really put the finishing touch on it.

thats a nice evo. decals look good if they're placed right like nismo power stated.

It's a good looking car with or without decals. I just personally prefer without... that's all.

I'm happy to remove any badging/decals/whatever from my car to make it as anonymous as possible.

I removed the "SUBARU" and "2.5RS IMPREZA" badges from the trunk lid.
I removed the "2.5RS" decals from the wing.
I removed the stars badge from the front grille. But since there's an obvious gap left, I replaced it with a black "i" badge. Next to nobody around here will know what that means.
I've considered removing my wheel centercaps that say "SUBARU," but I don't think I will without a blank replacement.
I've also considered changing out my steering wheel or maybe the aribag to remove the "SUBARU" from there, too...

Just about the only other thing, which I left, was the "AWD" decal near the taillights. And that's staying only because I've heard horror stories of old Imprezas getting towed without flatbeds and taking huge drivetrain damage.

It's my car; I know what it is and what it isn't. I couldn't care less if anyone else knows, and in fact, I'd prefer they don't.

i watched a tow truck try to take a wrx off before (non flatbed) he back up maybe 1/2 a foot before he hit the brakes and jumped out of the truck. a flat bed was there about 30 mins later.all i heard was a loud pop and thought "at least $6,000"

[nismo_power]

all i understood was tow truck and at least 6,000. type logical sentances.

I don't mind giving free advertising when I see fit to do so. I thought about taking the SUBARU and the WRX off the back of my wagon, but then I thought, "Well, if more people see it and like it and buy one of their own, that means more aftermarket." I feel that way about decals on the side of the car, too. Although I personally prefer my own car to have no decals, I think it looks good on some cars when it's well-done and actually reflects the parts extant on the car.

[keita]

Jay, you the man. I wouldn't go to extremes to remove what's already there, however...

In regards to the tow truck...I remember reading that automatic transmission has to go on a flatbed, but a standard can be towed in neutral. Does anyone know?

[Jay!]

I know a guy in SoCal w/ an '01 RS (almost positive it's an MT) which was once two-wheel-towed, and they had to do major replacements in his drivetrain. Like, all the differentials, IIRC.

Even on an MT in neutral, spinning the rear wheels while the fronts are tied down will fry at least the center diff. (right?)

Well, if you want to be like that....learn to spell.

Your post is no better than Ragnarok's

[SabreKhan]

Yeah, the M/T is no good for regular towing, either. Gotta flat-bed it.

[freakray]

Actually, according to Subaru, the M/T can be towed if all 4 wheels are on the ground and the car is in neutral.
The A/T on the other hand always has to be flat bedded.
Whenver I park my car(M/T), I always leave it in gear so it can't be towed anyhow.

[Jay!]

In any case, I leave the "AWD" decal so if some jerk-off tow truck driver thinks it's a Sentra or something and doesn't bother to look underneath, it'll be doubly his fault.

[ragnarok720]

When the WRX was towed on a standard tow truck, it destroyed the center diff along with the transmission i believe. Hence why i thought of a $6,000 price figure. My statement before made plenty of sense, not my fault tools like nismo power cant understand it.

i wonder what i mis-spelled.

"all" "i" "understood" "was" "tow" "truck" "and" "6,000" "type" "logical" "sentances"

perhaps you ment puncuation. in case you didnt notice, i dont capitalize except on manufacturers names, and i dont use appostrophies. sue me. and if you want to get all technical on me, you shouldve capitalized "Learn". seeing as how it comes after a period....at least i had something to contribute to the kids story, that i cant understand a word he said....and he should type so we can at least understand what hes saying. you just want to get on my ass....for something i didnt even do. great job, captain jackass.


now back on topic .
