Got my decals! Woohoo!
I figure I've bugged everyone (including Alex) here enough about it, so I should at least show y'all the happy ending:
On the rear glass opposite the AWD sticker. A little hard to see, but I'm all about subtlety. It's exactly the right size and color, too! Almost like it came that way from the factory.
The car part of the decal is a little more *bling, it's on my laptop

Yeah, it's hard to tell in the picture, but it's silver. Perfect match.
The AWD sticker does have a black outline around the letters, though (not that you can see it against the glass).

Not to be a buzz-kill or a kill-joy about your new i-club sticker. . . . . but I put mine on and i went to the dealership (Livermore Subaru) and the service advisor was very interested and told me that it was looked down upon to be in a "Enthusiast club" so they searched my vehicle and made a list of all my after-market stuff and voided all warranty's that applied. So be careful but i love the placement !! A+. Cheers.

Please add your story to the dealer reviews so that when folks go looking to buy a car or for service, they know who to avoid.
I was just at Santa Cruz for service with the sticker on for the first time, and if anything they were nicer to me than usual. If that's possible. (But I don't have any real mods.)
Edit: I should add that someone there also asked if I read the i-club forums when I took delivery of the car.

BAN SUVS: I had the I club sticker in my back window.
All i have is bolt ons. . . K&N Cold Air Intake, GFB Blow Off Valve, STI Short Throw Shifter, STI Radiator Hoses, Greddy Catback. And I told them to test drive it because i have a squeak when my car is cold coming from the suspension. They drove it 6 miles (trip meter) and I was told me that the Cold Air Intake voids any and all intake warrantys. The blow off valve voids any and all turbo warranties. The STI things were "ok" and they would stand for those. The Greddy catback voids any and all warranties on the exaust and exaust manifold. AND THEY NEVER FIXED MY ****IN SQUEAK !!!! They will never hear the rumble of my car from a distance anymore and they will never see this "Enthusiast Club member" darken their doors anymore. Cheers.

I wish I could see how the dealerships get their claims on what affects what.
I cannot understand how a blowoff could affect the turbo so much that it would void the waranty. The most would be that the blowoff dont work and possibly damage the center section, but that woudl take so much time that it would happen way past your waranty period.
as for the exhaust manafold being affected by the catback.. WTF
I would take the trip to Santa Cruz, thoes guys seem to be the most helpfull in your area

Sobering, but thanks for telling your story! Worse comes to worse, maybe I'll put some electrical tape over the sticker next time I have an oil change (perhaps grease it a little so it doesn't take off any part of the decal).
So far, I have no noticeable mods, but the last thing I need is for them to try to deny warranty on something because the suspect I "drive hard" since I'm on iclub!

Ah, I get it now. Whoops.
WRX Rush, the intake and BOV actually are grounds for certain warranty denials, but not "voiding." The catback does not hurt a thing under warranty. If they try to deny you in the future for claims based on that, you will have grounds for a small claims suit.
