    Or at least make it so when they do call you in it's not "Black honda civic si", but now "black car" broader the group you can fit into the better off you are.

    Yeah, that's the downside with your vehicle. Outstanding everything else is the upside.

    I would only recommend removing the "2.5GT" emblem if possible. It will make it look like a regular Legacy.

    I can't decide between buying a Legacy or 2.5GT as a first car, or going with the slightly-cheaper Impreza (I would not get a turboed Impreza). I also can't decide between sedan and wagon .

    Why wouldn't you go turbo with the Impreza? They've engineered the sh!+ out of it so reliability isn't a problem. If you raced it you might want to dry sump the oil supply but other than that it's one of the best turbo motors out there. IMO . . .

    Ever think about rebadging it as a totally different car? You could make it something like a Mazda Escalade Type/S

    I suggest removing the "2.5GT" badge, and MAYBE the Legacy badge, but leaving the Subaru badge. I think that would be an effective compromise.

    Of course, once you have aftermarket wheels, your car is going to look "different" anyway.

    Any citizen reporting that car would be told they're on crack!
