2006 STI Front Grill
Hey guys, I've a total noob question for you. How do you take off the front grill on a 2006 STI? My 02 was simple but this one has me stumped.


thanks,
gin

The center grill on the '06 is secured by clips and fasteners. Open the hood, remove the top fasteners, and pull the grill out horizontally (not up). There should be two clips on the sides.

Be careful when you pull out the side grills one of mine broke when i took it out.

Just another reason to hate on the nre front.

a lot. $1000's

the radiator support panels, grille pieces, hood, hood scoop, lights, fenders, bumper, fog covers & side splitters all need to be swapped.

enough that putting the rear diffuser on an 05 would be a better solution.

Complete front end ~ hood and both front fenders. Big $$$... if some one has a wire mesh made, that could be the ticket to making the face a bit tougher. I'd like to see that. :D

How do you get them out? Just pry them up with a screwdriver?

does anyone have pics of the grill inserts removed and replaced with some black metal mesh, kinda like the STi and liberal grilles for bugeyes. Not that ugly silver mesh you see all the time?

If someone can tell me how to take those top pins off without damaging them, [I]I'll[/I] take pics ;).

if you have an 06 cgm sti, i wouldnt mind, ill trade you... but i get to keep your HIDs :devil:
wrxpunk53 01-05-2006 01:36 AM

or I could sell you mine and buy some JDM HIDs
Picard 01-05-2006 01:36 AM

[QUOTE=Boost_Junkie]that ^?[/QUOTE]

Yeah, that, but I'm not sure how to remove the [b]"top fasteners"[/b]--those pin-like things (2 on top of the center part, 3 on top of each of the side ones). Do I pry them up with a screwdriver? How much force do I use? I tried lifting one a little and marred the plastic pin and the grill. Those little pins are nothing like the larger ones nearby (which are easy to remove). It's probably simple, but I don't want to apply full force and break something.
Boost_Junkie 01-05-2006 02:23 AM

im assuming its like those larger ones...flat head, pop the center and it coems out...and then the part that it was in will come out
pignoseWRX 01-05-2006 03:09 AM

[QUOTE=Boost_Junkie]could you possibly take one?[/QUOTE]
are you trying to figure out what it would look like if you just left your grilles off?

if you are, i think it would look horrible. you'd have all those tab acceptors there and the shape would be all off... and your hood latch would be exposed too.
Boost_Junkie 01-05-2006 12:17 PM

iunno, the pics of the zerosports 06 w/ the grill looks hot as hell...
Gin 01-11-2006 11:04 PM

Thats the ugliest rendition of the 06 front end. Subaru did better. uggh.
samg00dy06STI 01-12-2006 01:39 PM

yea i agree...i like my front end the way it is...that grill up there is just nasty looking i wouldnt want it for free
Boost_Junkie 01-12-2006 05:08 PM

looked good from far away hahaha, the road course pictures...
BNut 10-05-2006 08:50 PM

Thanks for the pictures... those pictures worth about a 1,000 words. I was able to remove my side grill and rip the STI badge off the front. (Damn that thing was a bizatch to get off!)
