Faudi Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Bulldog, next time your in for service at Manchester Subaru, go behind service and look for my silver legacy, It has a DIY grill with mesh mounted toward the back. Not absolutley perfect because the paint guy screwed it up, but you will get the idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faudi Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 yeah, but I did it the hard way, fiberglass and bondo and tons of sanding. There are easier ways to do it, depending on the look you are going for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dv8ingvector Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 I used peaces of ABS plastic heated them with a torch, molded them, trimmed them, and then plastic welded them in place just used filler to smooth it all out. There is a lot of sanding any way you do it thought...glass is just harder and doesn’t always stick well to plastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faudi Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Cut a tapering line from the hole on the bottom center of the grill to the holes in the side. The more you taper the cut the further the grill will sit back, does not look quite as nice imho, but it is much easier. No Bondo, little sanding, and you could probably do it without painting anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
