Red GT Badge on Pearl White GT with black grill

Postby garbo41610 » Tue Jan 19, 2010 5:10 pm

Hi all,

Just wanted a gauge opinions on what you think this may look like (good?/bad?/ricey?/nicey?)

I have a Pearl White MY05 GT with a black fibreglass grill with chrome mesh insert. I have ordered 2 red Forester GT badges through Subaru.

Am thinking of putting one under the Liberty badge on the rear, and one in either the bottom left or right corner of the grill.

Any suggestions/opinions welcome.

Cheers,

Garbo

With this sort of thing, it always comes down to personal taste.

I like the idea, but unsure how good the end result will be.

The old Forester GT's used to have the GT in red... So there's a little bit of heritage if that helps :D

Yeah, I'm thinking it will look pretty good, if not, I might respray the badges blue or something.

Will post pics when I get the badges on.

If you don't like them red, I'd try & colour match them to the car.

Hasn't been done (To my knowledge) & I think it would look pretty sweeet :D

As I said before, it all comes down to personal preference, so if you like the result, don't let anyone tell you otherwise 8)

Well, I picked up a couple of red GT Badges from Subaru today. Will try and get them on tomorrow if I get time and post some pics.

Cheers,

Mine had a red Foz GT badge on it when i got it. It was attached below the Liberty badge.

I didnt think it suited very well. I ordered a Gen3 GT badge in shadow chrome from JapanParts. Suits nicely IMO. I also removed the Liberty Badge.

But its all about personal taste as stated.
