The coolest decals/stickers for your SVX!
 
First off, a huge thanks to a relatively new member on these boards, John (fl_svx) who made these custom stickers discussed in this thread:

After seeing this pic of the factory decals on an STI:

I decided to have John make me two custom stickers - a 'Design Giugiaro' like the one used in the latest Maseratis, and an elegant 'subaru svx' decal to go with it. The set was completed last night when I got the last pair of stickers in the mail and couldn't wait to install them:

The east coast has been getting a lot of rain over the last few days, but for 4-5 hours this morning, the sun came out, and temps warmed up to 70*.

I decided to install the stickers and take a few pics - my installation skills aren't the greatest with this kinda decorative stuff, but the process was easy and very straightforward!

I did my best to line stuff up as it was my first time doing something like this. While it isn't perfect, I'm happy with the results.

They look great! Should be good for about 7hp at the wheels.

Hey, they look pretty good. I have seen enough factory stickers mis-aligned...you did well.

Glad they turned out for you.

Thx again, John

Thnx John. From what you state in your Ebay auctions, aren't these stickers/decals made of a pretty durable material? They definitely have a very sturdy design to them!

The question is: Will they stay on at speeds over 80 mph? :eek: :confused: jk

They look great. :)

Let me put it to you this way. These are aircraft quality, I would have no problem putting them on any less than supersonic. The vinyl I use has an outdoor life of at least 5 years according to the manufacturer, depending of course on conditions, mostly I would suspect UV issues in the desert. I don't use the cheap stuff as it does not have the right 'feel' to me. As Chike can attest, they have a quality feel to them. OBTW, the 7 hp gain is optional at an extra cost.
