I dropped into subaru doncaster yesterday and they said they dont deal with used parts and wont swap it out?! nor install it for free. they want to charge like $190 and think the bumper needs to be removed at the same time...

WTF!!! tell them to go JUMP.

The front bar DOES NOT need to removed for this simple installation.

I'm sure a forum member somewhere close to you can show you how to do this.. plus a beer or two of course.

hey dutch7. I'm in melb (S.E. Suburbs) and have a spec B grille on mine. If you need helping putting yours in feel free to pm me.

thanks drndrn, can I ask where you purchased yours from and how much?

by **drndrn** » Mon Feb 09, 2009 7:32 am

I got mine from a member here on these forums. So since it was used I managed to get it for $250 - $300.

Are you lookin' to get one?

yeh that's not a bad price, considering new is over $400.

...been looking at the zero/sports and corazon grilles also, but they seem a little pricey considering the value of our dollar at the moment and postage from OS

Just an update on the cost of the STi Grille (#91121AG171) from Subaru Docklands - $510.65

by **HyRax** » Tue Feb 25, 2014 9:43 pm

And another update on the cost in 2014 - the grille (same part number 91121AG171) is now just over $550 retail or $429.01 at trade price (including GST). I did not have to quote a VIN.

Scored the latter price from Sydney City Subaru. Talk to Gary in the parts dept on 02 8755 2040 - friendly bloke. In my case, they had a brand new grille boxed that had been sitting on their shelf for nearly a year - grabbed it at lunchtime.

New badge was $100 so I'll be re-using my existing one. I'm also repainting the chrome part black to look more like the S402 part.

Anybody know if Subaru ever made the same Honeycomb Grille for the PREfaceleft models?
I'm looking at buying one on a website, but it doesn't have any parts number listed on it. From the pictures, it looks identical to HyRax's one, but I just want to make sure. Are preface and postface grilles interchangeable anyway?

I don't think they did as the S402 is part of the facelift generation. I know that some people on the Legacy forums have made their own, and even our own Master Builder cruisn has made his own previously.

Sadly not - the facelift grille is taller than the pre-facelift grille.

I did mine with Plasti-Dip and it came up really well.

Sorry, I meant that I have a facelift MY07, and I had ordered a honeycomb grille. I was just worried if the one I ordered was a prefacelift one.

Cheers.

As long as the part number matches the one in the pic I posted, you're good.
