GCS Front and Rear Gloss Black Frame Emblem Kit

Perfect change much needed

Sits perfect and looks awesome with black frame to match

Great Product

My car came with bright pink after market badges that I instantly wanted to replace. OEM Subaru badges are hundreds of dollars. The black and white GCS emblems look even better than OEM and are cheaper. Quick 10 minute install and great fitment.

No Brainer

Had these on my 2015 WRX and of course had to get them again for the 2020 STI. Have some extra double sided tape for an extra secure adhesion during installation and they'll stay on forever.

Just order them

easy to install and look great vs the factory ones

Perfect Fitment

fits perfectly, really like the red

Dont get me wrong it looks very nice, the front one fits perfectly but the rare doesnt stay on. Youll need to add more 3m tape. And dont be like me, except of 3m tape i added some glue and the whole thing just looks horrible now

Have to mod it

I got the gloss black with red accent and they look absolutely beautiful on my car, love the quality and the fact that you get both sides with gloss black frames. Installation is simple, but I did have to make a modification to the rear emblem. After applying it to the car, the sticky stuff on the back was not making a good enough contact to stick on. I pressed my whole bodyweight on them only to come outside the next day and easily pick it off my car completely. I put double sided tape all over the inside plastic pieces and cut the excess around if. Did the job fine! Great emblems, but I do recommend getting double sided tape to do what I did.

Horrible quality. Not worth making your STI look cheap.

The rear emblem had a dimple where the clear resin or whatever was injected and is visible from the front looking like chipped glass. On top of that the top part looked like it was grinded flat and the gap it creates when placed in the frame is noticeable. Both frames aren't even black, they are like a dark greyish brown. Looks like it was made out of recycled 3d printer filament. I would have been okay paying ten bucks for this product, but considering the value of an STI, I would never slap this on without feeling like I did my car a disservice.

Bad firment

Like other said you need better tape, and a bigger issue is frame firment. Neither front or rear frames sit fush. Oh and icing on the cake is the emblems come all sun scratched.

They look great

Like others have said, the rear emblem will need a 2nd layer of 3M tape to adhere. Without the additional layer only 4 tiny spots make contact. The front works fine with the provided adhesive. Aside from that they look awesome on my 21' WRB STI! The blue is almost an exact color match.

6/10 vs stock quality.

A + To Subispeed on their customer support, the first order received of these had a huge chip in the front emblem but they replaced it no questions asked. As for the emblems, for the price point I would have expected something a tad more refined. Very rough / jagged plastic edges around the emblem's frame, not quite a "Gloss" finish to the emblem itself, a bit dull to be honest. I'm sure something can polish them to a better shine, but I digress - The emblems are likely just a bad batch or something. It's still the look I was trying to achieve for my WRX, and the install wasn't tough past ripping off the OEM emblems.

So

Front fit great rear fell off and got lost tried to buy another rear but they don't sell separately so if you buy make sure you put more tape

Buy More 3M tape

Would recommend more 3M tape, the amount on the emblem did not feel like it was enough. Easy installation, came out nice, just recommend a little more tape, especially for the back one.

Emblems

The 3m tape sent on them isn’t enough. My emblems wouldn’t stick to my 2020 WRX. Had to go purchase 3M tape and recut for the emblems

Quality check

Quick quality check could have caught a crack in the top of the emblem. Still putting it on, but not happy.

Fitment is wack

You get what you pay for. Fitment is s**t. The emblem does not seat flush into the housing. Looks like someone sanded the edge of the emblem when it came in through the mail but still it doesn't fit right. Not recommended!

Looks Great, Worth the Money

Easy to install, frame seems cheaper than the emblem itself but overall very satisfied. Replaced the 3M tape on the rear with my own, felt more secure.

Good but rear needs different tape to stick

The badges are good quality and the front went on fine, but the rear emblem tape didn’t reach the car so you need to buy tape and put another layer on but other than that it looks great.

I'm gonna say it again, EXTRA 3M!!

Overall, I'm very satisfied. I like how it looks, I went neon green for my Dark Grey WRX and I'm quite pleased. As has been stated though, make sure you have some additional 3M it a mounting adhesive of some sort. It will come up short on the grill but not TOO much.

Needs more tape

I got the black & reds, i love the look, they definitely look awesome but as others said you need more tape to put them on, other than that great product.

Great but fit could be better

Product goes on easy enough. Just use a heat gun on medium heat and OEM emblems come off rather easy with little mess. Just take your time. The front emblem needs some extra adhesive to keep it on. All in all, they look great!

Nice

I bought the white and black ones, as others described you need a bit more tape. Overall love the looks

Gloss Black/Blue stars

I purchased the gloss black frames with blue stars and they match perfectly with the WRB paint. As all the other reviews stated, you DO need extra 3m tape for the front badge! The back badge fits perfect no adjustment, but had to double up the front 3m. Overall 100% satisfied with product although extra 3m tape was half the price of this product.

I got the emblems in black and red. They go so nicely with my jdm grille and the s207 pinstripe. It was quick and easy and my front end looks awesome. Great buy.

Subtle Addition

Original emblems were scratched in shipping and Subispeed replaced right away. Used fish line and a heat gun to separate the existing adhesive for easy removal. Make sure to pick up some double sided tape for install.

Great product

I bought these to help give a more aggressive looks to the front and rear end and instantly looked better. Easy to install at about 15 min which includes removing oem logos. I went out and bought extra tape because of reading previous reviews but the kit came with two extra front badge tapes to fill the gap on the front logo. You will need both.

Quick and easy personalization!

I've been wanting to personalize the outside of my car for a while, and finally got around to starting. These badges were a great first start! Really easy, quick, and look great. Some small burs from factory are the only reason I didn't give a '5' on Fit/Quality. A few careful seconds with a razor took care of that (not that you would have noticed them after install anyway.)

Questionable Fitment

I purchased the gloss black frames with the red star insert. Overall fitment was questionable and I ended up epoxying the front emblem in place. I would highly recommend purchasing the other emblem option that already comes as one piece versus the two.

overall a good piece wish my didnt come with any scraches

Great visual mod but my came with quite a few scratches on them but there wasn't a lot to return theses but overall a good mod but trim piece that goes around the badge didn't want to stick which was annoying but I just went ahead and put the badge with out it and it still looks great.

Easy Installation

I echo the older comments - you will need additional 3M 03616 Scotch-Mount 7/8" x 15' Molding Tape to correctly install the front emblem, as the tape that is included is not thick enough to fill the gap between the front emblem and the mounting base. I also echo the install video - you will need a heat gun, piece of plastic for a pry tool, goo gone, and the above mentioned extra mounting tape. The whole procedure for front and back emblems took me under 30 minutes.

Looks Clean

I went with the gloss black frames and white and black emblems. I could not have been happier with how they look! Totally changed the look of the car from what looks like a Whole Foods shopper to a total speed racer. So glad I went with these over the overlays.

Nice!!

Purchased the green emblems, and goes with all the other gloss things (fog bezels, side markers, OEM front grill). Really makes the front and back of the car look much better than OEM & vinyl overlays!! Only downside is there was not enough 3M tape for the front grill. I had to add a couple pieces in the middle of the emblem to fill in the hole behind it. Other than that very pleased with the purchase.

Blue on WRB looks awesome!

Really loving the look of these on my wrb wrx. It was a good thing I had extra 3m emblem tape. The front emblem had to be doubled up to stick, but my rear stuck fine . The look is great and fit is like oem!

Great looking emblems

Easy install and they look great. However, as the previous review stated you will need to use some sort of double sided tape to get the new emblem to seat properly, due to a small gap between the emblem and plastic.

gloss emblems

black and white emblems and frames with that clear epoxy! So glossy and perfect! I tried the route of buying the matte black frames and doing the vinyl overlays only to be just slightly perturbed as I am a perfectionist. These are so easy to swap with a little heat gun and fishing string :) My only negative and it seems to be the current theme is that the 3m double sided tape is tooooo thin so when you go to apply only 50% attaches to the car so I bought a roll of double sided gorilla tape and snipped some little pieces all around the existing 3m and it fit like a charm. Love em!
