You put cream on STIs, not grills.

I like it, but I would still want a Subaru badge in the middle.

I’m planning on having a proper shop install them so they should be good.

Eh, if the lights are something you want and like, thats fine. I have no issue with that.

But what does bother me is that the mesh used in the upper grille doesn’t match the mesh in the lower. To me, that’s kind of a dealbreaker as it makes it look too ‘aftermarket’ for lack of a better term. I like when stuff blands in better.

I like the idea, but I’m not a fan of the execution.

I saw this on one of the forums a while ago (unfortunately, I can’t remember where), and thought it looked great. I believe it’s a custom piece using the original USDM grille, and sections of PVC pipe (4" dia. seems to stick in my head, but again, I’m not sure). Personally, I’d have kept the grille black where it was originally black, but the WR Blue painted section is growing on me.

I like it, but AkursedX makes a good point - do they make a matching lower grill insert? I wouldn’t do it unless they match.

They do, and I'm planning on installing that too.

In that case, go for it. I think it will look awesome. Makes me miss my WRX a bit :’(

Do it! That looks great, it gives a bit of a Nurburgring 24h vibe to it.

I love it, it has a quality custom feel, looks like the guys from ICON could have designed it. Go for it.

You will pay someone to complete this for you? Wow, wish you were my friend. I’d do it for free because Subaru.

I'm having a couple of things done to my car and I don't have any time to do it. Just started law school and wanted to treat myself.

I kind of like the badgeless look, but I feel you.

I’d certainly do it, gives it an n24 feel to it

That’s kinda the look I’m going for.

I don’t like it, I’d rather have two external lights mounted like a cool rally car, those look Pep Boys.

Lights need to be spaced further apart but I like it.

Waiting to find a new shop to help me out. I’m going to be having them install a couple other things like a new skid plate and a new steering wheel.

I’d love a nice wheel like that, just cannot justify the expense of them, especially as I’m trying to figure out how I can save £3.5k in almost no time at all as I REALLY REALLY need a supercharger for my BRZ

I’m holding off on doing any real performance mods for now and am pretty much sticking with cosmetic stuff that makes me smile. I’d love more HP, but I’ll stick with what I have (and the warranty) for now

well the 300bhp the sti comes with is a good amount, I’ve just done a couple sprints lately and really lacking on the straights that I’m just bored waiting for the next corner lol
