if you are a girl, you can get away with it.

if you are a guy and think you are going to be the next r. kelly, well be prepared to catch some hell. and believe me, "rice" is probably one of the nicer words you will hear.

Well it's somewhat an internal parts of the car if the STi pink springs are the one you're talking about. It's not built for fashion such as rims, spoiler, etc.

But don't let the opinions of others to stop you, it's your car, your money... it's all up to you!

STi's color is officially 桜の色 (sakura no iro), which translates as cherry blossom color (not pink). It's often used only for trim colors, and I don't think STi or anyone else would want to see it used as a primary color scheme

Every cherry blossom I have seen is pink.

Keep the pink on the blossoms and minor STI trim parts. Wheels..... please, no.

Only if its Volk TE37 Magnesiums, then dark blue is OK. But, hey its your car you can do whatever you want to it. If you want to put pink rims, go ahead don't let us tell you what to do. I just think that you'll probably regret it later.
