I've been wanting to swap out my Subaru star badge for a while now. I wanted a purple star badge but I couldn't find one anywhere they only make the pink and blue ones.

Somebody in the flat4 club that I am in ordered one and said it looked more purple that pink and asked if I wanted it. Of course I said sure. It wasn't what I wanted it's the "i" enblem but hey it's better than what I got which was the stock emblem cracked all over by rocks.
So here's a basic how-to on changing the emblem:
1) Get a flat screw driver and gently pry off the stock badge. It comes off pretty easy and you don't need to take off the grill or unscrew anything.
2) Clean of the surface where the stock badge was with alcohol
3) Peel off the backing to the new badge
4) Line up the badge as far against the plastic on the left side.
NOTE: It will look like the badge will gap or be uneven but that is only because the badge is not on a flat surface, it kinda curves. Once you push it all the way on it will fit PERFECT!
5) Apply a lot of pressure and be sure its on there good.
6) Admire your nice work and show all your friends!
Mike will insert my pictures for me PLEASE :bluewink:
