The "Subaru fender stripe" - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

JDLM · 12-20-2011, 11:47 AM

Do you think the BRZ will fall victim to the wanna-be grand sport stripe fad that a lot of Subaru owners have picked up?

chulooz · 12-20-2011, 11:52 AM

That is one of the first Subaru's I have seen with that. I have NEVER seen one in person, and I live in CT.

JDLM · 12-20-2011, 11:54 AM

Oh yeah? Seems that they are all over the place and even falling to the BMW crowd now...

there was a huge subie following in CO when i lived there and i have never seen that thing on a subbie. hopefully that fad stays on just those cars.

Lot of Scoobies here too,never seen it. Maybe it's a Kansas thing.

That is not a local car I pulled the image off of google, I have seen numerous pics around the net and on NAISOC

VenomRush · 12-20-2011, 12:10 PM

yea, never seen it in my life... i see at least 3 sti's everyday around here

Dave-ROR · 12-20-2011, 12:10 PM

I've never seen one like that either. Are you sure you aren't blowing the fad out of proportion?

Could very well be

it just seems like when I was in the mood to hunt down a WRX I would come upon a "meet" pic and I thought I was looking at Corvettes

Snoopyalien24 · 12-20-2011, 12:13 PM

Yeah, I've never seen the whole stripes thing. Even at meets and stuff, never seen it.

The only time I've seen fender stripes like that was on a buddy's Pontiac GTO. Wasn't the original intention of racing stripes to identify to other drivers on the track that you're a noob?

jonnyquest · 12-20-2011, 12:15 PM

Never seen that and im so stoked I haven't. I really hope that never catches on.
