Just wondering what badges come as standard on the 08 gt wagon tuned by sti as I have recently purchased one but noticed the tuned by badges werent on it. I asked the dealer when i was buying it but they said they didnt come on it as standard :S Would just like to clarify?

Hmm, I think you've been lied to. Although I can't confidently speak on behalf of MY08 owners nor wagons, but as far as I know, all post-face lifted STi's came with the 2-piece 'Tuned By STi' badge on the boot.
Either that or perhaps they thought it's a STi when it's not?

Check out this link:
viewtopic.php?f=4&t=11434TorpedoCreative ordered one from Subaru for only $28 so it's not a huge loss if yours didn't come with badges.

If you plan on doing mods with your car, call up PHAT GT and see if he can do anything about it.
If you don't plan on modding your car, just endure the wait and don't bother PHAT with your badge issue.
He is willing to help members of the forums out and has many contacts in Japan, but keep in mind he does what he does on these forums to help out. If all you want to do to your car until you sell it is buy a badge....endure the wait.

Ok i cancelled that badge order from subaru coz i dont want to wait that long.
I have sent PHAT an email regarding a ceramic dump pipe but havnt heard anything back from him yet. Would be good if he could source a badge for me too as im looking online but they seem to be hard to find.
Anyone know what the model code is for it?

What a load of crap, you could row one here in a boat on your own by then. Dealer sounds like they are full of shit.

Yep, they just couldnt be bothered by the sounds of things.
I just got myself a replacement badge for my 04 STi, ordered it friday, they rang me on monday to pick it up.
They had heaps in sydney.
Mind you, it did come with the Legacy badge aswell.
