Lip and Grill

Postby Joshy » Mon Mar 11, 2013 9:03 pm

Hey guys,

Looking for both a replica STI lip for my pre-fl 2.0 gen4, as well as a grill.

What are your suggestions?

Thanks :D

I've heard a lot of good reviews about that, what do I do about the badge, is there an adaptor or something I can get or do I need to make one?

I've seen mesh grill badge holders, not sure where you'd get one from though. The Corazon emblem is nice, but I prefer the Subaru oval on them

I see them for about $300 unpainted, how much do you think they would be to get done?

I might wait Until I get the boot lip spoiler with brake light and then get them both painted at the same time

I think if I tried to DIY I would end up destroying it haha.

Bad history with my dremel already :(

If you can wait for a bit I'll sell you my mesh grille when I get a Corazon at the end of the year? :D

Hey mate,

I did a DIY job on my grille a couple of days ago.
- i had zero experience with anything
- if you take care, it will look good

Costed about $100 for all the materials. And i already had access to a dremel tool.
It'll take a day, but if you're lazy just buy a Corazon haha
