jim1969 Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 Has anyone put in a Legacy Sport Grille to see if they fit perfectly? Is there a different grille for Europe than for Japan? I'm interested in it but not if it doesn't fit to our bumper or hood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest *Jedimaster* Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 Xenonk has the one with the air intake- it looks really nice and I think he said it's a good fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenonk Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 I have the Pleasure Racing Service Grille... [url]www.kingofimports.com[/url] is the one that help me get the first one in the USA. Perfect fitment and it's made to order only.. expect a 4 week wait. Keefe Keefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim1969 Posted October 22, 2004 Author Share Posted October 22, 2004 Not the racing grille Xenonk put in. The sport grille you can get at cc-b.com or at king of imports. Has mesh with subie emblem in middle. The sides are painted the color of your car. It is directly from subaru. I just wondered if they fit. I also wondered if there was a difference in the same grille between JDM and EDM models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenonk Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 I dont see why not.. my grille was fabricated using a JDM GT.. so it would fit on your car. You shouldnt have any fitment issues at all. Keefe Keefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nendo Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 yeah it should slap straight in very easy.. i ordered one too, but waiting waiting for it suckssss.... i had the jdm sports grill on my wrx and it fit like a charm and its the same style as this,, i would recoomend putting some type of light adhesiveon the toip part of your bumper so the new sport grill doesnt scuff up your top bumper,, my wrx had major scuffs on it when i took my grill off.. yuck.... also the grill should be extremly simple to put on yourself, shouldnt take more than 5 min....... i cant wait to take this ugly ass grill off my gt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim1969 Posted October 22, 2004 Author Share Posted October 22, 2004 Would the JDM model be different from the EDM (European)? I had gotten the EDM grille but the bottom had different clips. It had two clips on each side not the one on each side our USDM models have. I had to return it because one of the clips was broken out of the box. I didn't try it in because I didn't want to do further damage prior to my returning it. Maybe the JDM model would be like our OEM USDM model's grille.

MtnSub Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 Would like the sport grille more if it did not have the Suby emblem. It would just be cleaner look. IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim1969 Posted October 22, 2004 Author Share Posted October 22, 2004 On the EDM grile the emblem can be unscrewed from behind and removed. There are 2 screws that hold it in place. I don't know if this is true with the JDM grille. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nendo Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 i wouldnt worry bout the clips too much,, the legacy already has diff area where the clips slide into place for the jdm grill.. its like the wrx,, when i took my stock grill off u can see where the jdm slides into, its already built in.. the install will be a breeze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim1969 Posted November 16, 2004 Author Share Posted November 16, 2004 Has anyone installed a sport grille yet? If so was it EDM or JDM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenonk Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 Well, I dont have the OEM-ish looking "Sports Grille" on my car, but I do have the Pleasure Racing Service Grille which was manufactured basically for JDM cars, but it fits on the USDM car perfectly.

jim1969 Posted November 16, 2004 Author Share Posted November 16, 2004 yeah, I remember you got the Pleasure racing grille. I meant the sport grille you can get in england and austrailia and japan. Has anyone installed one yet? You can get the EDM one from CC-B and the JDM one from kingofimports. Is there a difference between the two? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFGR415 Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 I wanna see pics....my brother has the STI grill for his 03 wrx and it looks sweet....pretty much same grill except it has the STI logo in the left corner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read somewhere that on the EDM/JDM have additional hooks or tabs that are on the underside of the grille that you dont need to hook onto, so you can just break them off or sand them off.. otherwise, it's a direct bolt on.

PGT Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 I got my sport grille yesterday and installed it tonight. First off for those who asked, it's not a perfect fit and there is no way to make it so. It obviously was designed for the JDM model with the shorter bumper. The lower edge doesn't reach the front of the bumper or sit 100% flush and the sides have a slightly different curve. You can see all this from 3 feet away, but not further away. No modifications are needed for the bumper or the new grille, though the old one is bit tricky to remove (the bottom likes to stay attached to the bumper) That being said, I still think it looks great. I will snap some pics during the day tomorrow and upload for you to see. The emblem is indeed removable - two phillips screws on the rear and nothing but mesh behind. The mesh is a bit too open for my tastes - too much of the silver radiator shows through at night - we'll see if my opinion changes in the light of day. The mesh a a flat piece of metal, very stiff, held in place by retaining clips. Looking at the design, the clips can be carefully taken off and different mesh put in place. I might do that in the spring once it warms up a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim1969 Posted December 15, 2004 Author Share Posted December 15, 2004 This is exactly what I was trying to describe when I got the sport grille from CC-B. The fit is a little off on the sides (which bothered me too much) and the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
