Yeah I traced the origins back to racing and "status" on the track

I live in KS and have NEVER seen that on a WRX/STI. Never.

Fender stripes were used originally just so teams could tell the difference between the cars they were fielding

WhiteGDB · 12-20-2011, 03:25 PM

For any sporty car there are a few in the crowd that do this. WRX guys weren't the first and won't be the last.

Don't care bout cheaper wanna be M. If it doesn't come fully M, then it's just wanna be. Simple as that

I agree the "M package" has a lot of the M parts but it doesn't include the M emblems.
