2002 RS Graphics
I am trying to enhance the apperance of my car but not spend too much money. I am thinking about simple side graphics. I don't really want it to be classified ricey though. Its a 2002 Blue Ridge Pearl RS. I just got it two months ago new. This is what I am looking at but I will probably get it in black. Post your opionions please. Anything goes.

Most of that stuff is expensive except for debadging. Rims $700+ Headlights (not ebay ones)$700+. There are too many imprezas around where I live that all look the same. I want mine to be different with out spending all my money. Graphics are only $100 and it makes it stand out in the crowd. And does anyone know if there is a ram air for the 02 rs yet? I haven't been able to find one.

Well I am also on a very strict budget (yea it sucks) I have a silver 2003 rs2.5 in silver. I was thinking of doing the paining mod to your head lights (about 10bucks) take them apart and paint part of the reflector, and take out the orange thingy, and put a silver bulb in there. Then maybe a clear side marker (25bucks)
I think some stickers look good (a lot of people hate them) but I feel they should only be put on cars with at least rims on. I see too many Hondas and acaras running around with big body kits, stickers, lowered all on stock rims. And it looks like crap. The stock rims really make it look bad. I still don’t have rims (no money) but I did paint my stock ones darker (20bucks) to give it a different look too. I also just debadged the rear Subaru logo, and replaced it with a "IMPREZA" emblem. And it looks nice and subtle.
thanks for hearing me ramble

I'll have to look into the subaru emblem on the side in black or possibly in silver, i don't like the yellow. I was also thinking about doing eyebrows. How are they legally because they cover the turn signals?

PLEASE DON'T DO GRAPHICS. PLEASE.
I just don't understand how someone could think that would look good. And to make it worse, you'll pay for it
The parts you would need ARE cheap.
Hunt around and you can find the WRX side skirts for pretty cheap and you can also get some sweet deals on wheels/tires. Definitely clear out the headlights and debadge. CLEAN is CLASSY. Keep your car smooth - slick. Don't add some funky graphics unless you're planning on having your car used as an extra in TFTF3.

I don't ever see any cars with graphics. Maybe one or two a month and im on the road about 3,000 miles a month. I just see the cars with a bunch of stickers and goofy aluminum spoilers and an ocassional primer body kit.
