or get a radar detector and not speed. Not speeding on the interstate and main roads means I have no record whatsoever. Back roads are another story, but cops are few and far between out there.

I think I will just slow down for now there are very few back roads here in fl that are worth speeding on. I'm still liking orange but I like gunmetal too so idk I'm not getting it painte for a few more weeks so I can a few more paychecks come in

you said you wanted orange with stripes on the passenger side? why not do the opposite with gunmetal with orange stripes and orange wheels?

or the crazy spyker racing colors

yes that is a factory paint job.

You do realize you don't have to have the orange stripe painted on, right? Vinyl works just as well and it's removable.

^ i would do that if only for the resale value of the car, not to mention in a year you might get sick of it and it will be much easier to take care of.

Gunmetal is rare in the Subaru world. Why stand out it will only give Cops/Thieves a reason to go after you.

To the untrained eye gunmetal looks like grey/silver. But to an enthusiast they will instantly notice how different your Leggy looks.

if i did paint it gunmetal i font think having an off centered stripe would look unless i did black and i guess vinyl is the way to go with a strip but would it bubble or fade out over time? also im not worried about thieves because i just bought this new toy

Here is one of my favorite looks I have seen on a car. It was a car that I wanted before I got my legacy, long story. Anyways I think that this orange with the chrome 5-spokes is an awesome combination.

just my .02

idk i think if i did gunmetal it would be hard to match it with any other color although a dark gunmetal with a light silver stripe or light gunmetal with a dark stripe might look good.

Screw you guys that think WRB is overdone. Sure, its overdone on Imprezas, but how often does a WRB Legacy come by?

Why stripe your car?

Just spray it gunmetal with a flat clear and no one will have that in your area
