what grill is that touge?

I love how I have to answer this question every time I post up, haha.

It's the RBS grill with a Subaru front emblem from an 08 Impreza mounted.

Been awhile since I posted up a a proper pic or two:

Thanks! How did you attach you emblem again?

Ah gomen, I forgot to answer. It's just held on by double sided stick tape for now (the heavy duty red 3M kind). Evetunaly I want to find a better solution, but for now it holds great. Been stuck there for about 6 months now.

Not a good pic but...

Just cleared the headlights and installed matching grill mesh into lower bumper.

Ooooh, that looks good! Was it hard to clear it?

Sorry, one week straight of rain means my car is very dirty, but I had to take one pic of my new wheels.

Nothing aggressive as far as size, 18x7.5 +48 225/40/R18 Bridgestone RE760s.

Wow, I really love how the stock grille looks painted black! First good picture I've seen of one. I may have to try that on my spare grille now.

^ Which color wheels are you going for next time?

Those stockers actually looks pretty hot with that stance!

These are sitting in my room just waiting for tires:

But I agree, I'm kinda getting used to the stock wheels! The tires are too small looking though.

Stock rims back on, because I'm saving money for tires for my new rims.

Guys, I need some advice.

I have a set of 18x8 Volk CE28n's in bronze. Im not sure whether its a matching color to the QSM, so I've been thinking about getting them painted in flat black.

 

Normally I would just mount one of the wheels on the car and see if I liked it, but I can't do that right now and need to figure out which color I should have them in fast so they are ready for the spring.

 

Any suggestions? Bronze vs. Flat Black

I think I might have posted these earlier, but for you here's what my bronze Works look like:

So as you can tell, my vote goes for bronze.

tongue-noob. What kind of grill is that. Nice car by the way.

It's the RBS grill you can pick up from Rommel here. I added the Subaru emblem on my own.

 

Here's a link to the full res on my flickr!:

Fantastic Picture. Really great lighting... fits our color car just perfect. This is my new desktop picture and probably will be for a long time! Nice work.

Wow, thanks! Did you want a higher res version?

Touge-nOOb,

 

You have a very good eye for composure!

 

I have the same grill in my garage and just haven't gotten around to it yet. How was the removal/install of the emblem?

Thanks!

I actually bought the emblem off ebay. I didnt wanna hack apart my OEM grill in case I needed it. The emblem I'm running is off an 09 WRX. After that, to put it on I'll just say I used a lot of double-sided tape!

what grill is that on post #490, any other pics of that grill from different angles?

It's the RBS grill you can pick up from Rommel here. I added the Subaru emblem on my own.

Here's a couple more shots from 3/4 angle:

Just a little tease. I'm sure you'll be seeing more of it, as 45% of the shots I take are of my own car! haha
