Custom paint and/or Decals

Does anyone have some good pics of Imprezas with sweet paint jobs or cool decals.

Did you say "COOL DECALS" ? Didn't know there was such a thing.

What do you think those things are on the side of the Rally cars? Those are decals, and I think they are pretty cool. I agree most decals on cars are stupid which is why I asked for the "Cool Decals".

Motivation

I suppose if someone were to give me big money and free product to put on my car and in return they said, hey run these decals on your door, well maybe there would be some motivation to stick them there. But all to often I see these F!@#kn' idiots that stick two hundred decals on there car in order to show that they have bought all this stuff. Then you pull up to them and they got this F!@#kn' gay *** oversized tac, with a shift light mind you, practically sticking out the window, some two foot high wing from a top feul car and rather than lowering the car the right way, they have chopped the springs so the thing rides like it has no suspension at all. Then they leave the light like they actually have half the parts they are fronting only to find they are looking at the back of my suby and I haven't even left second gear yet. Sorry for the rant but it's got to be said. I'm not saying this is what you had in mind. THis is just a gross generlization of all the civic / acura owners I see out there.

I understand the posers you are talking about. I have raced a few off the light and wasted them, AND I'M IN A STOCK 95 L FWD. What I'm talking about as far as decals go, is the Subaru Decals or good custom made decals, and no not Fast and the Furious jocks. I have an idea that I am going for in the future (when I get a 98+ RS 2.5) where it is an oversized subaru decal on the sides of the car. Where the decal goes into the windows there will be a different tint job to continue the decal. I have seen custom tint jobs but I have yet to see one where it mends with the paint job or decal. I am trying to see if my idea is unique or if it has been done.

I saw a cool RS at ROTW with WRC decals. He even had the driver name and German flag on the back window. Otherwise the car was tastefully modded and I thought it looked cool. Generally, I think decals look like crap also, but it can be done to look good.

SloanInnovation- Actually I was looking for a HUGE Subaru decal. Just the normal emblem. When I say HUGE, I'm talking 36" to 44" square (enough to cover the whole side of the car). I'm not looking at starting the project untill I get a 2.5 RS (which probably won't be for a while, I am paying for 2 cars, a house, and school right now). When I do start, I'll keep you in mind.

It's more of an idea for a show car than a daily driver.
