Yeah, even the feel of it since it's painted is better.

I do like alot of the interior parts, especially those Recaro's and gauge cluster. Just looks sporty yet clean. Wouldn't you only be able to get the cluster in Km/H?

Good enough for us in Canada!

Never say never. Where there's a sufficient demand and a person/company wanting to make $$ then I'm sure some knock-off company will make the tS badges. Since when did most Chinese (or similar to be fair) care about trademark infringement?

What do you guys think? Painted to match or leave it black? I quickly photoshopped the painted version to get an idea of how it would look...

tS cars have been around for years and no one has ever made a knock off of the badges.

Paint-matched makes me think Toyota Corolla Type S. Subaru BRZ t(ype) S(ti)?

Maybe not a sufficient demand or a company that thinks it might be worthwhile

but it's definitely not out of the question, nor impossible to fake.

Compared to the standard STI emblem the tS badge doesn't seem as appealing for most mainstream buyers (I'm talking across the whole Subaru car lineup).

Yeah, especially the front lip. I played around with it more in PS and just decided to painted the side skirt and I think it looks pretty good; leaving the front lip black.

Leaving the whole lip kit just black makes it look incomplete... IMHO

The issue is that tS is fairly new and hasn't been on anything THAT exciting besides the STI. With the BRZ-craze, hopefully someone will jump on this very soon.

I'm pretty sure it first appeared in 2011.

Then just went on the Legacy sedan and wagon and Forester.

Yeah! @OrbitalEllipses has similar thoughts. I wonder if he was other example pics stored up? I have a hard time seeing it in my mind, but I think it would surely look better with leaving the front lip black.

Once all my aero comes in I'll be sure to take a lot of pics of how it'll look like on a black car!

Saying that you planned on paint-matching the aero isn't giving away anything. Lips are sealed on anything else, though. I was just hoping you've give an opinion of the photoshop.

White car looks better all black STI.
