    So I just installed a TXS TMIC and thought it would be pretty sweet to have the "stock" ;-) STi marking on it. So I took a picture of the stocker STi TMIC and through photoshop magic and sizing and some crafty cuttin skillz I made this stencil that is the EXACT dimensions of the one of the stock TMIC. Printed on 11x17" paper.

    Make sure to have it AS FLAT as possible when doing the spraying, or else some of it will blow under. 1200deg Radiator spray paint was used.

    Very nice man. That looks really good. I can't think of a better way to get the "perfect" stencil.

    What color paint specifically did you use?

    Just so no one thinks I'm a moron he hadn't put that picture up yet when I asked about the specific color. :)

    Here is the stencil jpg.

    If you print it at 180dpi it should be right on size! 12.2" x 4.6"
    Of course when cutting it out, you can fix all the minor imperfections.

    I can also make sure it bring it to the next install day. :)

    That looks really good. I want to make an APS stencil for my topmount, that looks really easy so I may copy the idea.

    Unfortunately, I have an STI Topmount, is there a way to remove the STI to replace it with WRXatl?

    You could paint the entire IC a solid color, then spray the WRXatl ? You could find a silver Im sure, or maybe a black?

    if we could find a vendor that had a router cutter....this could be very possible...Sakari Motorsports who does our stickers (i think) might be able to produce such a stencil?...I would be interested in this as well....is painting an intercooler perfectly fine......?

    as long as its not blocking flow. a coat or 2 shouldnt matter that much as long as the stencil isnt too big. ;) i think it would be cool to have WRXatlanta written on the ic. do it!

    that WA graphic would require a 3 part stencil, which would be a pain in the ass. make it flow grasshopper

    But it would be tight. :naughty:
     
  40. I used to work at a graphics/vinyl shop for 5 years...let me know if we want to buy a bulk amount of these...I actually have already saved all the Subaru logos up there when I went in to make some SPT stickers. Let me know.

    Tried it....didn't work....too busy
    I like the star it adds a subaru touch to it....it's slightly rotated though so shouldn't run into copyright infringment. And it's just one star.
    I'll make the "w" and "a" touch so it would be just one stencil
    Small words like wrx atlanta.com probably wouldn't be readable anyway on the intercooler....

    Unless you are selling the stencil, it should not be an issue.
