This is what the 2008 Front End Needs

Kaneda · 02-22-2008, 08:10 AM

Love the 2008 styling, but something is missing from it...It just lacks the aggressive look of the previous models. For me, it's the fog lights that soften up the front facia...The old fog light covers with the STi logo on them were so bad ass and gave the car a real RALLY look...In general, the obvessive amounts of STi badging on the exterior were so cool and race inspired...I understand that they've taken a more subtle approach, but can somebody, ANYBODY find out how we can make these fog light covers? Take a look, I think these photoshopped fog covers would look awesome...What do you guys think?

I am gonna have to somehwhat disagree based on there are already 13 STI ogos on the car already, 2 more and I think we are breaking some kind of automotive design limit for badging

Looks incredibly out of place to me.

I would take the light grey thing out of the grill too. Looks like a unibrow.

Kaneda · 02-22-2008, 11:19 AM

does anyone know a body shop that can work with me on this?

Kilya · 02-22-2008, 11:24 AM

Its not color matched and not blended into the picture tahts why it stands out. I think id be interested insomething liek that.

but the WRC doesnt have fog covers

Deuce Cam · 02-22-2008, 12:02 PM

There's a guy on here with a white 08 that had his fog covers paint matched and I looks great imo, way better looking than stock (the 08 has way to0 much black plastic on the front end). He didn't have the STI stickers on the fog covers though.

***kris*** · 02-22-2008, 01:51 PM

I think ya owe me for P-shopping a pic of my car ;.)

HRCboy · 02-23-2008, 01:14 AM

I think a roof vent would also look badass on this beast. You want a rally look? How about two of them, one for driver one for navigator.
