SpaceGhost Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Had someone back into the STi sometime in the last month(left no info), and a few months ago I backed into a guard rail at work and damaged the rear bumper a bit , called up Kevin and had him do the repairs and also had him paint 2 pieces on the car I thought should have been painted from the factory. He Painted the lower part of the front Grille below the Subaru emblem that was a lighter shade of gray, and the silver piece on the trunk. These subtle changes look better IMO. Kevin did an awesome job, for a great price, and gave her a good wash too. Thanks Kevin! Man after you drive a Prius for a week you really appreciate driving your car again. How any car guy drives one of those and like it escapes me. I'd rather pay more for gas.

SpaceGhost Posted January 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 I'm kicking around taking everything off except the STi and star emblem because I thought I read sometime that there are holes behind the star emblem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clifford Automotive Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Thanks Ben. I know when you had the thread up about which color to choose, I leaned towards the other. When you see that color in person, its really unique and fits the car well. My opinion of the car swayed also when it was in the shop, I absolutely love the bodylines it has. The rear subaru emblem does has one pretty good size alignment hole in the decklid. I saw that when taking the applique off. Loved your rear door window decoration BTW.

SpaceGhost Posted January 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Ha Ha I forget that sticker is there all the time. it's pretty small but I think it's funny. I have a bunch of them. I should give them away. The problem now is my daughter knows it's there and wants her "bear" sticker to stay there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can make this a reality during your spring detail. ...but I hate badges so you better watch out for the STi one too, it might disappear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceGhost Posted January 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 If I can get these Black STi fender badges soon, I might fire up the heater in the garage and buy a big bottle of googone and a clay bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clifford Automotive Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 I thought the same thing when I put the applique back on. The badges look good, there's just too many. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
