you can get a little compressor and airbrush. mix your own paint from your favorite paint maker and you can get some nice colors.

use nail polish remover. lightly rub them in long strokes until they come off. if you rub too hard the paint will come off though so you ahve to time it right.

also dont use nail polish remover on the windows use a credit card

sti model

I have this same model. i'm sure there are alot of people that do, but why does it have a top mount and a front mount? It looks 100% after the stickers are off. and the wheels do need to be painted. I painted mine bronze. it is the bronze wheel coating paint (track tested) that you can get at walmart and autozone and such. looks great also.
