Custom Badge for Your Subaru Forester
5" wide · Chrome finish
The Forester is the boxy one: upright glass, standard all wheel drive, and a back end that stands straight up instead of sloping away. On a shape that plain and honest, your own words land better than another line of factory lettering.

Finishes
Finishes built for the Subaru Forester
Chrome
Mirror-bright and unmistakable. Chrome reads clean against factory paint and catches light from across a parking lot, which is why it is the closest match to most factory badging.
Matte Black
A murdered-out look that disappears into blacked-out trim and grilles. Matte black keeps your Forester looking factory-plus instead of flashy.
Gold
Warm, high-contrast, and impossible to ignore on darker paint. Gold is the move when you want the badge itself to be the statement piece.
Premium Acrylic Colors
Color-matched acrylic badges in a deep gloss finish, ideal for pairing with a wrap or a custom paint code. Same depth, same adhesive, more color freedom.
Which finish for a Forester? Chrome plays nicely against silver and gray Foresters, but if yours wears black roof rails and trim, matte black keeps the whole car consistent.
Installation
How to install your badge
- 01
Clean the surface
Wipe the mounting area with the included isopropyl alcohol pad and let it dry fully. Wax and road film are the only real enemies of a strong bond.
- 02
Peel the 3M backing
Pull the red liner off the automotive-grade 3M adhesive on the back of the badge. Avoid touching the exposed tape.
- 03
Line it up
Hold the badge about an inch off the panel and check your spacing left to right before it makes contact. Painter's tape makes a great alignment guide.
- 04
Press for 30 seconds
Press firmly across the whole badge for a full 30 seconds. Full bond strength is reached in 24 hours, so hold off on washing until then.
No drilling, no brackets, no body shop. The adhesive is paint safe and removable, so your Forester stays exactly the way you found it if you ever change your mind.
