oister Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Thanks guys, no rush as the rocks and salt are still on the roads here. Need to fit the mesh and find an emblem I like, any suggestions? Wanna trade emblem? I got a genuine Subaru LL emblem that I can trade for your stock Subaru one off the grille. Pardon the crappy camera phone picture. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v93/oister/subaru/03-13-06_1402.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oister Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Pics of it off the car? Don't have pic of it off the car, because it is still on the car right now. But I do have equally crappy camera phone pics of an uninstall emblem. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v93/oister/subaru/03-13-06_1403.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v93/oister/subaru/03-13-06_1404.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v93/oister/subaru/03-13-06_1405.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v93/oister/subaru/03-13-06_1407.jpg Tell me exaclly what you want to know about the emblem thru email or pm, and I can answer you in details without jacking your thread. You may also find pics of the same emblem on Keefe's car in case you are looking for better pictures. The emblem is ziptied onto the grille. I put one of those self-adhesive tab (that has a plastic ring) on the back of emblem, and run zipties thru that hole and the grille mesh. No problem for many months now. And actually you can do the same and just zip tie the emblem on your grille. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itsme Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 I just finished mine. I also put the same mesh in the lower grill opening. I kept the chrome around the grill because I thought it goes with the headlights and the emblem.
