RedDawg Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Going to be picking up a set of hellatones soon and installing them behind the front grill. I'm planning to powdercoat them so it doesnt look like a baboon's ass trying to force its way out of my grill. I can't decide between silver metallic (would closely match my BSM LGT) http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a219/liquidnote/09%20pics/lpchellas.jpg or get them chromed like this STI (not the best pic of them) http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3631/3393143233_567116b3be_b.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I'd go black or the same color of whatever it's in front of so it doesn't stand out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedDawg Posted May 6, 2009 Author Share Posted May 6, 2009 was thinking of that too, but i think i'd rather have them be subtly visible behind the grill. i'm going to wait until i can purchase or clear my stock grill before i install them, so they'll be behind black mesh and semi-hidden.

noswad Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 ^^^+1 on black. BSM might look good if thats your car color, but I prefer black... Please no chrome, that would be jus as bad as the OG red IMO.

AShoe Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Black or match the exterior paint. Do you really want to have to polish your horns every time you wash the car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedDawg Posted May 6, 2009 Author Share Posted May 6, 2009 Black or match the exterior paint. Do you really want to have to polish your horns every time you wash the car? didn't think of that. I think i'll go with the metallic silver powdercoat and if i dont like them just spray them black myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windy Road Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 mmmmm Bill's STI, that car is just nuts. He's a local guy to me, probably within 15mins from my house. 276hp/347tq On a DynoJet Dyno Video - Had a big lean spot as you can tell in the second pull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ssej Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Color-matched silver behind the black grill should look sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
