Piggy Stickers on 08 Sidemirrors?

YPH · 07-06-2008, 11:41 AM

Hey, has anyone put the rally pig stickers on their 08 side mirrors yet? There is a signal light on it, so I'm not too sure how it'd look.

Also, do people put stickers over clear bra coatings? I am using something called Protex, and there is a layer of that on the side mirrors.

Thanks.

I don't believe the pig stickers had anything to do with the 06-07 models. It was from some Japanese cartoon or something along those lines - I don't remember but I'm sure someone else will chime in.

We have a few left over from the last run if anyone wants them in either white or black. They come in pairs of two:

This is the first bit of info I found regarding the "Subaru rally pig"

Subaru Pig Manga Mascot logo | Best Brands of the World

Quote:

"The pig is a mascot for the Japanese manga (comic) magazine Young Magazine. It's always somewhere on the cover... The pig appears on Petter Solberg's rally car. For the past two years the pig has only been on the driver's side mirror. Back in 2002 it showed up on the co-driver's side as well, but that seems to have been dropped now. It ONLY appears on Petter's car -- Mikko's car doesn't have it, and Tommi's (when he was with Subaru) did not either. Toshihiro Arai (in the Production championship) has the pig on both of his side mirrors, as well as a little piggie on his driving suit. I suspect that it's a personal sponsor, rather than sponsoring the entire Subaru World Rally Team or STi."

Young Magazine is, I believe, owned by Kodansha(sp?). Perhaps Petter Solberg reads the magazine??? I don't know.....

EDIT:
It turns out, the 2006 WRC car did have it. Go to swrt.com, > gallery > 2006 > sweden. Then click on the third image, which shows Solberg driving. It's barely visible, but the pig is indeed on the driver's side mirror. Still checking for 07. I don't think it's on the 08.....

So all of these people are putting a pig sticker on their cars because Petter has a Japanese magazine sponsor and they don't know anything about what it is? Odd.

Do you actually have 38,000+ posts here? Wow, I've never seen a post count event nearly that high. That's an average of nearly 42 posts every day for two and a half years. Holy crap.

My original post was to ask if anyone did it on their side mirrors.

And I find them cute. I'd put a 555 if I smoke, too.

TarmacST1 · 07-07-2008, 03:17 PM
