gen V recessed grill

Postby philjt » Thu Apr 11, 2013 8:03 am

Hi all,

I have been reading a lot about the recessed grills guys are putting on their gen5 liberty's and was wondering if this was a custome DIY job or a bought product. Can anyone help.
THanks

I haven't seen a DIY mesh grille on a Gen 5 yet. Most are sports mesh grille from Subaru.

Ok cool thanks for the info, I found a post where the user had blacked it out and made it matt black. Looked pretty good but just want something plug and play.

Be careful with the Ebay grille.
I could'nt get the OEM mesh grille with the car due to the Tsunami at the time and needed the car ASAP.
So I went the ebay option.
Corozon grille on the cards soon!
The one for sale in the threads is a bad fit!

Cool I checked out the corazon model from Japan parts and its sweet looking. Downside is having to get it painted but spoke I could do that.
