3.0rb grill options

Postby J0HNATH0N » Sat Jan 05, 2013 11:23 pm

Hi all,

Does anyone know exactly what grill options there are for a 3.0r?

So far, other than oem, and the subaru sports mesh grill I have only seen a carbon fibre style. Can anyone confirm other types? If you have pics it would be appreciated.

Thanks

That's pretty much your only choice. Or if you go custom DIY job you could end up with something like mine

I'm in the process of a DIY, I like the mesh you used. I like the GT-B honeycomb, but obviously won't fit my model

I saw the subaru sports mesh but hate the mesh used at the front. I feel it's meant to be more at the back of the grill, Not at the front.

Ill post pics when I'm happy with the finish. im really liking the slimline plates too, need to see that middle section that a std size plate covers most of

And I'm surprised that both of you havnt put these in http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com.au/viewi ... 0980032706 - fixes that orange look

Ah, that's not as bad as I thought it would be $

Looks like it could direct a bit more air flow too?

Too much effort for little to no gain.
