Your opinions plz (front bar mod)

[talev788]

I've been thinking of getting the radiator induction area of my front bar painted black..
I did a quick dodgy photoshop to see a rough idea of how it would look, I havent seen any Gen 3's with this and was wondering what you guys think.
I'm getting this done for free by my uncle who is a spray painter so im not exactly going to be splurging any cash over it.

Shane is right.
It does make your Subie look like a girls car.

I've seen it before... Pretty sure on a B4... I don't mind it!

[talev788]

thats ok everyone is entitled to an opinion.

main reason why i wanna do it is cos i hav a lot of scratchs in the area and i thought i may as well do it black to hide future scratches if they occur

Perhaps show side by side pics of before and after... Just to get a better idea.

I reckon it actually looks pretty good. Do it in a matt black if you can. Also, you might want to match the angle of the grill where it leads towards the top of the bumper if you know what I mean.

might look good with the sti style lip underneath from ULTREX

i say paint the mouth of it black, but leave a while lip underneath it (Like the Focus bar)
it mirrors the grille that way and also helps define the shape of the bar better

i thought doing that but i dont have enough cash lol, plus my car is non turbo i feel as if im being a bit too try hardish by doing those sorts of things on an N/A car

What I said was just poking fun at Shane.
You need to post a side by side pic of what it looks like currently/with the black for us to give you a proper opinion.

ok here you go

AAAAHHHH!!!! Forget what I said about trying to match up with the angle of the grill, I didn't realise it was an insert of sorts. Still think it would look great though.

hhahahaha yeah i was gunna say something about that

i'm thinking of getting the grill and foggy covers painted with the same matching paint aswell. they are only painted with supercrap auto paint at the moment

I reckon it looks good. Matches both the black grille and the driving lights surrounds and gives the car a unique look.
