Let me get it right... rally cars shouldn't have decals? I thought this is a forum that support Subarus and people who love them. For people like my mate that don't have the money like some of us have, that's the closest he will come to showing his love for it. Do we have to badge all our de-badged cars now, rip all Perth-wrx stikers from our windows? Great support from people who love and support Subaru/rally/Sti/wrx. I'm sure those of you who have a passion for their cars will understand this.

Rally cars are built for competition use, requiring big budgets at wrc level.

Those cars are sponsored by companies.

Those companies require a return for their investment - this comes from exposure through media coverage, with viewers seeing those company names on the car.

It makes sense.

What your friend has done is buy some shit stickers - yes they dont even like remotely close to the real deal, and butchered his daily driven non competition car.

The result is something that looks like ass.

If Subaru saw that, they would probably beg you to remove the stickers - it does not pay homage to their wrc efforts of yesteryear.

Are you upset because "your friend" = you?

Rally Cars are sponsored to have those different type of decals. Is that car you posted sponsored by any of those brands. Just a general question?. I Agree so far with everyone, that it would look a shit load better with no Decal.

don't let it get to you willem, each to their own... if everyone modded their cars the same would be pretty boring right. as long as your mate likes his ride the way it is, then that is all that matters

Good on ya Willem. If your mate likes it, thats all that matters.
Might have got a different response if you only had a PWRX sticker like everyone else has.
Oh well.

Nah mate, not upset and no, not my car. Question, Perth-wrx do not sponsor anyone with PWRX stickers and yet, we paste them all over, so isn't that dublle standards, buddy?

Just wonder why some people have "tall poppy syndrome"?
