Pillarless grill??

How easy is it to take the center piece completely off my '05 STi grill. If i take a dremel to the top and bottom and smooth it out, would that be considered done?

 

You can use the dremmel to cut the pillar out, but not to smooth it out. Most likely, you will need to use Bondo to fill in a little where the Pillar connected at the top and bottom and paint it.

Here is a good write-up with pictures of the process.

Thanks 420

 

by the way, it mentions semi-gloss/satin black paint. Is that the correct color of the grill?

 

Electrical tape works well too. No one seemed to notice mine.

 

Alex might be able to chime in on the correct paint color. I know he did his a while back. I would like to remove the pillar on mine soon.

 

i might use that electrical tape process temporarily, doesnt look that bad

 

Trey, can you post a close up of your grill?

 

nice

 

use Evercoat body filler and it will be better

 

It's gone. It looked fine, I left the cut part a little high so I could grind it smooth...oneday.
