Type RA-R Red Grill Trim, DIY for $5 part 5

Mechie3 04-09-2007 12:09 AM

subikid, If you cleared your lights and painted your logo I think it would look good. The red and orange just clash a bit, otherwise I like it.

Wow dude, that is Fin sexy!
mikee_7id 04-09-2007 04:55 AM

Subikid, nice job!

Decision has been made, i'm going to do the red mesh behind the stock grill.

I'll post pics when she's done!

Dragonbreak 04-09-2007 05:03 PM

Your phone looks badass! haha

Does anyone that used teh 3M Reflective Tape have any suggestions on how to cut the 1" to a 1/4"? I discussed an idea with a friend, I would take a long ruler and an exacto knife and would just slice it down accordingly to the ruler. Any nay says or suggestions?
Mechie3 04-09-2007 05:05 PM

^^ That's what I'm planning to do (gonna switch from prostripe to 3m for a deeper red) except I would clamp the ruler to a bench over the top of the tape to ensure a straighter edge.
subikid 04-09-2007 05:39 PM

thanks for the comments on mine! just fyi, it matches everything under the hood. i am definately going to drop the amber and clear the headlights.

thanks!

[QUOTE=CLR4ILS;17663768]^^^You should do the whole grill love it on the 06-07s[/QUOTE]

i tried it that way at first, but thought it was a little too much, so i peeled the 2 sides off instead...LOL

:D
06_black_wrx 04-09-2007 10:31 PM

^Looks nice, looks like mine but yours is more even as you go around.
I had to trim a 1" wide pinstripe down to 1/4" and I wasnt as accurate with the cut but it still looks good.
SiFuSpEc 04-09-2007 11:42 PM

jay3737

thank goodness you only did the center grill, doing the outer ones makes it tacky and disgraceful IMO.
WRex06 04-10-2007 12:03 AM

damn, my car's a disgrace :(
Dragonbreak 04-10-2007 03:10 AM

It's okay WRex06!

I like your decision of the three grills. Rock on dude and do what you love. You're not gonna let someone get in the way of your dreams, so why should this put you down any? :disco:
pajak 04-10-2007 03:48 AM

wow it looks soo much better with the red stripe
djsniggedy 04-10-2007 10:46 AM

So what brands have you guys had the best luck with? I want to do mine this weekend...I think it looks awesome and will match my flashy new red stoptechs lol
06_black_wrx 04-10-2007 10:51 AM

3m reflective tape is what I used, but had to trim down a 1" wide piece.
It really isnt reflective.

Jay- what brand did you use?
djsniggedy 04-10-2007 11:02 AM

The 3M doesnt come in a .25 inch size? I just went through the whole thread and now im not sure if i want to do all three grills :p It really looks so much better
06_black_wrx 04-10-2007 11:31 AM

I think anything beyond just the center grille portion is too much.
But whatever you like.
Mechie3 04-10-2007 11:42 AM

I like both just the center and all 3 grills done. I went to get the 3m tape last night, it isn't reflective in the day, but at night it glows. It also only comes 1 inch wide (which I knew) but only gets you 1 yard for $5. While I agree my original prostripe stuff is a little orangy in certian lights, it wasn't worth the hassle to try the 3m stuff. Maybe if I find some 1/4" stuff that is a deep red I'll redo it.

I think on White, the three parts look awesome, the WRB looks good but the red clashes with the blue, so i dont know, i like it but it still clashes. The black, the center looks amazing, the rest of it i dont know.

i used the prostripe 1/4" stuff that the OP recommended. i agree that it is a little on the "orange/red" side, but IMO is still pretty close to hte color of the brakes.

I'm just being stupid but the one's with black cars should try it on their hood scoop as well.

hmmmm it looks decent on wrb...

the sides started peeling in that tight corner...going to just stick with center grill now :)
Mechie3 04-29-2007 10:17 PM

Mine has been fine through rain, snow, and a little Auto-X. A lot of it probably depends on how hard you first press down the tape.

yup. use a sqeege/something that wont tear the pinstripe or make scratches that you can press down with hard.

i re-striped my BMW using this same pinstripe in white and it didn't peel through 2 winters.

looks nice, but not my taste, kinda reminds me of a candy cane
sperry7 05-02-2007 04:36 AM

Not bad...

Am I the only one that took off the backing piece of the center grille that forms the column? I think it looks better and it doesn't seem to protect the hood latch.

I did this mod and I still don't know if I like it or not... part of me thinks it's rice and part of me thinks it is unique and kinda quirky/cool.
MarkRx 05-02-2007 05:24 AM

ha a couple of people made fun of mine at the last rallyx, I don't care I think it looks great!
Mechie3 05-02-2007 08:47 AM

No one's made fun of me. I like it because at the auto-x on sunday we have 5 blue subies lined up in a row in the parking lot. Mine was the only one with the stripe and it made it stand out.
DieselClown 05-02-2007 09:51 AM

im really thinking about doing this on my aspen white 05 grill, but not sure where. I'm going with a red/black theme.

someone on here already did an 05 and posted pics in this thread.

alexmccann33 05-12-2007 02:54 AM

i did the "candy cane" pinstripe, cause thats all they had at autozone, but i ended up removing the outer stripe. i love it, and it matches my nurburgring stickers on the doors ;)

now that i've seen this, every time i look at my rex it looks more and more boring! i gotta get this done, even if it means running to the auto store and picking up some pinstriping on mother's day...

she'll like it.
rich728 06-03-2007 03:47 PM

has anyone found an exact color matched vinyl to the STi logo (Cherry Blossom Red)?
