That is true^but...

The FHI/OEM ''pink'' color is darker than ''pink'' .
Its like a fusia.

Never the less, OP did great work! The color[on my mac]looks
OEM IMO & very tight ,clean w/ perfect size .

FWIW...i think the wrx sti jdm products that come in pink i.e. grille badge etc... are indeed closer to real world pink,but for some reason dont give off that girly pink vibe.

I actually went to a stencil cutting place locally before doing mine. A 1-up job like I wanted would have been cost prohibitive. I'm glad someone stepped to the plate with the stencils for the late comers.

I may consider stripping my current logo and re-doing it with the stencil offered here. It's the whole "stripping" thing that makes me hesitate as my current one looks fine unless you know it's a little under-sized.

I think you should leave it. I don't know if it would be worth trying to strip the paint off that TMIC.

since it's only a size issue, that's my conclusion, too. i think i'll add the link to the stencil source that's here but only if i can come up with a direct contact (outside of PMs for those not part of IWSTI).

I can try to set up an exact match for what I have, I would just worry that there might be some subtle dif. between everyones. Anyone know if they are all exactly the same?
