If anyone has any details on where and how much it sure would be appreciated. I hate our Honda, Toyota, etc., etc., present grille. They all look the same. :(

Japanparts has it, looks like Subaru makes that one.

 

You're right. Japanparts carries it. Model 107-006-04 @$285US. Kinda expensive for a cosmetic bling.

+1 The lower edge of the JDM grill has a slightly different curve than the USDM one.

 

That's what I was thinking too, do you think its still workable? I don't mind a little gap like the JDM mesh grill, but any more than that, forget it. Some members used double side tape to reduce the gap, it seemed a lot better too.

 

I saw on a car with that grill in Hong Kong. The picture came from Japan parts. They are quite expensive. If I'm getting one, I'll be trying to look for a place to get it cheaper.

It might just be curved on top, and the bottom edge is still straight. Japs (Asians, excuse me) aren't so dumb that they'd invest in a new molding machine just so it would fit a curved bottom grille. They'd just make the edge on top you see curved, with the same flat bottom. :D

 

If I recall, it comes painted to match your car.

 

Did anyone call Japanparts to find out? I suppose I'll end up doing it, like my wife always tells me she does. :p

I have the Sport Grille - I considered the one you linked, but it has a distinctly 'Saabness to it'. Not sure if that is good or bad, but given the Saab 9-2X being called a 'Saabaru', I decided to pass.
