bottom of first post? You can easily pull up a google search for wrx logo, throw that into paint to turn it into an outline and print that out.

thats a good question.. idk if acetone would take it off or not.. BUT there is always a second solution.. Just get high temp silver or grey and spray it.

You dont even have to turn it into an outline. What i did was print it up to the size i needed. Used painters tape and taped that paer all 4 sides to a manilla folder. annd then cuz with an xacto knife using the ruller as a straight edge so it didnt cuz all crazy. then i took the paper off and BOOM stencil. if you put the stencil straight on the IC i swear to you you wont like it. YOu will over spray like mad. You should look at some of the other sites of people who did it and it looks like s**t. put tape on your IC and put the stencil over that and cuz the letters out on the IC. all the tape will be in place and you will have no overspray like this guy.

\/ \/ \/



or this guy



I promise you if your like me that overspray will drive you crazy. The guy was butt hurt cuz his 08 didnt say STI on it so thats what he did.

MIne no over spray. My thing is cleaning overspray off your IC is gonna be such a pain in the ***. Just do it right and you wont have to worry about it.
