You guys have no idea. If you see this car in person, you'll know what I'm talking about. His main intention was making this a WRC replica, that's why the stickers. It's currently at UTEC Stage 4 and also happens to be his daily driver, in NYC mind you. And it's also a regular at car shows, which always always takes 1st place for the best Subaru and a few Best in Show classes. JIN the owner of that car is actually a member of my car club, SQC-NY, who also happens to be a really nice guy. You guys need to see more pics of that car, the interior and engine bay, coz they'll speak for themselves.

Thats my ride actually. Hmm ... yeah ... kind of sad you guys didn't like the stickers. However, those are the exact same stickers that are on the WRC Monte Carlo 03 ones ... just that I felt gold matches black better since yellow ( the original ones ) don't go nicely with black. In any case, I honestly do not like the stickers there for too long too ... they are really there just for the summer 04 car show. I have been totally stickerless for a really long time.
The Kill Switch is functional ... and that button besides the kill switch is an engine starter ...
Heres how my car looked like in the past without the stickers ...

P.S.: I think the stickers were tastefully done as well... but I'm also glad you don't keep them on all the time

I thought racecars put on stickers because the HAD to.
Tastes range, obviously. I'm not a big one for anything non-functional (ie, roof-scoop...yeah it works, but......why? Kill switch, I'm not that smart of a guy, but I understood it to be a battery cut-off as a safety measure in a race car, not a show car.)
More or less perfect reflection of a WRC car and the car is most definitely tyte, yo, but is it a pure show car?
And not once did I make a personal comment about you, JIN, unless you consider comments about taste an attack. If that were so, then I'd imagine most artists would be buff and good with their fists, know what I mean?
As a whim, I put a profile of my station wagon on ridejudge.com and the car is getting it's nuts kicked in. I empathize with my car, but I don't sympathize with it? My car's a big boy. It can handle it.

Racecars put on stickers because they are sponsored. I really am crazy about the Subaru WRC car, but I doubt I ever have the money to get a real one as my daily driver. The best I could do is to get as close as I can to that ... just to sort of cheat myself.
Roofvent comes standard on a number of WRXes, the S202, the Type Cs, and also the Type RAs. Its an actual Subaru piece with part number and all. The roofscoop is an actual STI piece too ... so as to complete the package.
I did not ever say its a pure show car? Neither do I wanna it that way. I'm not into trailored garaged cars, and I drive my car everyday.
Never complained about you saying what you did. Somebody was kind to point me to this thread ... so I thought I shared more. Please read through my posts here ... I never said anything to or against you.
Just enjoying the ugliest GDA / sin on wheels that I humbly own. Sorry to have tortured you guys ...
