^^^ Same. But kudos on being different. I’d rock that car straight red, tinted out, with black wheels. That would be killer. But as long as he likes it, it’s all good. ---

We have to add some black lettering on the side white stripes. Probably add “Perrin” , “Cobb”, “HKS”, and maybe [pittspeed.com](http://pittspeed.com) ---

Meh on the stripes, those kinda stripes are for old muscle cars. Would look good black, tinted out, black wheels with a red line on the lip of the wheel. ---

I personally like it without the stripes and I agree that the wheels would look much better if they were all black w/o the red detailing. ---

The wheels can be changed. They are Konig quick swaps, we have silver spokes that can replace the red ones. Your right…the GT stripe idea comes from my son’s love of the mustangs…but he appreciates the handling and AWD for the winter of the Subaru… It is one-of-a-kind…which is what he likes. ---
