Default Porsche STI

Hello, I am am curious about a car that i saw yesterday evening. i was getting on the veteran's, going north, and the car in front of me at the toll booth was a really nice looking porsche. it was a convertable, and i want to say the year was late 80's-90's. it had a few STI decals on it, one on a brace behind the driver's seat, and one on the side, and some on the back that said, "Subaru Technica International". What is this about? is it some kind of option package? just some asshat that put STI stickers on his nice looking porsche? i googled it and found nothing but videos of porsches losing to STIs. thanks for any input you might have!

I'm surprised you were able to get out the store with that big "SUCKER" sign affixed to your back.

if it's a white porsche and has stickers on it, it is probably the guy who did the wrx motor swap into an old porsche 914....at least i think that is the car he used. I'll try to find the article on it, but I'm sure someone else on here has it.
