My "new" front grill

I did this over the last week. It took a lot of time but I think it came out great. Let me know if you like it, and I'll post the directions. :wiggle:

 

nice !!!

 

looking sharp man :bigthumb:

 

holy gigantic image batman
i like that u dropped the subaru emblem in the center... not sure if i like the black paint around the center frame... will have to see it personally

did u have to take the bumper off to get to all the parts u needed?

 

Yeah it looks pretty good. I might have left the Suby emblem in the middle though because I kinda like it. But then again I tend to like the factory look more than some people.

 

haha, yeah, sorry about the huge pictures. I painted the center frame so it'll look like it's a one piece grill, kinda. I only took off the grill inserts and masked off the pumper and the engine bay when I painted the two struts on the bumper. I do want to take the bumper off though, so I can put in the same mesh to protect the radiator on the bottom.

 

damn, it should come from the factory like that

 

wow that's pretty cool...haven't seen that yet, I like the concept of unifying the three piece grill....like to get the full effect in person

 

how bout a non huge photo from farther away?

 

Thanks JT, that size is a lot better!

 

i need to see this in person... i know the thing i didnt like about the 06 front end was the colored center frame

 

I'll be at the warehouse meet next week, are you going milo?

 

i wish... im in dallas, TX for the summer

 

oh, well, i can always take more pictures if you like

 

i gotta say, its a VERY clean finish :bigthumb:

 

thanks, i want to paint the inside headlight trim too but I'm not sure if that'll look weird, what do y'all think?

 

i see you use imageshack. you know they have an auto resize funtion? now you can resize upon upload and save the hassle of doing it yourself. just click the resize box and choose the size then upload. on to the head lights. ive always been a fan of baked headlights. i think it would look great.

 

i think it would look cool depending on how you want to do it... i have been considering doing it on mine but im scared to open up the assembly... if i do it, it seems that there are different options on what to paint and what not to, mainly referring to the projector housing... havent thought about it much

but im sure that just taking out the amber corners would make our cars look 1000000 times better

 

yeah, i definitely agree on the amber corners. I want to paint the housing black, but then it might end up looking like a huge black thing across the whole front end...it would help if I know how to use photoshop...damn.

 

i resized them but thats what i get for not going to the last page.... Looks goo dby the way

 

it looks good in person I checked it out after F&F on sat. The smaller grill mesh is much better!

 

if you remind me at the end of the week or next week i should be able to pchop it for you

 

update: I put in some supertones and did the intake airbox delete thing, check it out.

 

I really like it with the supertones. Looks good!

 

So you used a factory fog light insert to let cool air come in? Brilliant!

I love using factory pieces like that.

 

you should flat black the supertones

 

Hey man, whenever you do the headlights let me know, I'm gonna do the same. There was an STi at Nopi witht he blocked out headlights, looked REALLY good
