    The stickers are just vinyl and can be peeled off.. just takes some time. Someone also put the front bumper/corner splitters on there, but I'd leave those, they look good on any wrx.

    Just cause you have splitters on there, doesn't mean you're trying to impersonate an STi.. the stickers I can see, but leave the rest. There are literally hundreds of wrxs out there with fog light covers and splitters. Nothing at all wrong with that.
    Now if you were to try telling others that it's an STi because of that, then I'd call it fake.

    So lose the stickers, and if you wanna take off the other parts, I'll buy them from you. :)

    I wouldn't worry about the side-spliters.

    The stickers I would take off. I agree with EJRex, just because the
    spliters are there, doesn't mean you're trying to pull off a STi.

    They're functional too, that's the key thing ;)

    Thats exactly my thoughts too.

    The stickers should come off easier if you heat the covers up with a hairdryer or something. Its a good look.

    Are the pieces on your dash all black ?

    Ive got the WRXAtlanta.com stickers, they're free at any events we host. You're more than welcome to swing by, if you are ever downtown, and pick yourself up some as well.

    The previous owner was a 57 year old male that bought it for his son, but ended up keeping the car because his son ran away.

    I have a white o4 wrx also. If you want the fog lights I will trade you for your covers. Same as the splitters, if you dont want them I will buy them from you.
