Some adjustments, and which Grill??

smh0101 · Post by **smh0101** » Mon Apr 28, 2008 6:15 am

So I did a few minor things to day...

Including install the new grill... But I dont know which one I like better the stock one...

OR THE New JDM aftermarket mesh grill.

Which one guys? I honestly am leaning towards the stock one.
(Not planning on selling the JDM one so dont ask)

I also moved the fogs.

From here:

To here:

And I colored teh guage needles... Purple Permanent Marker to make them red.

Some camera and foot work:

So which grill guys??

Definatly need to keep the stock grill on there.

And since you wont be using the JDM. I'll be nice enough to buy it from you

Grill...your choice.

Fogs..Stock location, but push them back further into the hole.

Ha. So manipulative.....

Fogs are much better where you put them.

I am surprised there is a debate about the grill. Mesh one is a clear choice for me.

Have fun!

I'm not a fan of 92+, but the stock grill looks cleaner than the mesh. Maybe its the "subaru" badge, I think it is too big. Put "turbo", or god forbid, STI in red. If you could find an RS-RA badge, that would end it all.

The round fogs look rather hokey... They would look better further back in either spot.

Keep the stock grill!

I'm going to replace the fogs with JDM Fogs when Drew gets another set... until then I'l just gonna live with them.

And I think the stock grill looks cleaner to... I dunno...

And I believe I may be murdered if I were to put STi in the grill... rice rice baby!

Yeah. I think if you can push the fogs back into the stock location a little further it would look better.

As for the grill, I like stock, unless you could do what Arctic said and get an RS-RA badge or even like an AWD badge.

that would be the picture angles... all is fine

Funny looks like I have the exact same fogs in the same spot you moved them to. As for the grill, Im making my own and it looks damn near the same as yours. So you know my vote.

And for all you guys offering to buy his, as he said not to bother asking and as the cost for the real deal is about $100 and I only spent about $15 building one that looks just like it......build your own the badge was the most costly piece of the whole deal.

smh0101 · Post by **smh0101** » Thu May 01, 2008 4:35 am

Um... total cost was a grand total of $40...

20 for the grill and 20 for the paint.

And NO work done at all. It would have taken me at least 3 hours to build one that looks like I would want it to... So instead I spent those 3 hours at work making 8.07/hr... so thats $25 at work... so $40-25 = $15

So in reality... mine cost well... the same as yours.

I'll probably do some stuff with this one...

I was thinking using aluminum mesh then like a Subaru logo off a tribeca in the middle.

Wow, good deal. Best Ive seen was a hundred shipped from overseas.

Building one is out of the question for me. I am NOT a bodyman. (( as i, my bondo skills R teh sux ))

Is there a place to order these from over seas?
