It's the silver one from the WR1 right?

If it is, I've heard that it requires you to drill into the front bumper to install it. I'd also assume that it should have come with some type of installation hardware.

[QUOTE=jmonty]yes thats it but no hardwear or instructions on the install :confused:[/QUOTE]

mine didn't come with any instructions either.. I just basically took some masking tape, ran it along the bottom, made sort of a template on where to drill, match the width of the posts with a drill bit,, and took the plunge of drilling..

I also painted my bottom grill black, with that rubberized "truck bed liner" stuff,, looks pretty slick I think.
jmonty 10-15-2005 09:27 PM

how far back did you drill? any pictures of what it looks like installed with the black paint? :huh:
garie 10-16-2005 01:52 AM

the prodrive grill is super nice but expensive. I want to get some one day and I'll prob spray it black.



anyone else have pictures of their grills installed please post them!

I have never seen these in person either.
jmonty 10-16-2005 01:55 AM

Heres mine, hope that helps, I didn't drill back far at all.. basically made it flush, and did it.
jmonty 10-16-2005 12:21 PM

thanks for the picture I may end up painting mine as well

what type of screws did you use to bolt it down(any washers?)
do you remember if the little rubber seals(grometts) pushed down into the holes you drilled? what size dril bit did you use?


thanks you are a big help

I used self taping screws, which were flat, so they were flush with the grill (if that makes sense..) And with the gromets, I just pushed those onto the metal pegs, and used those to sort of lift up the grill a bit, so there was a tiny bit of a gap.. I can't remember what size drill bit I used, just match up the metal pegs, and go from there.
jmonty 10-16-2005 12:28 PM

Yep, just give'er a shot,, do try to use that masking tape route though,, just mask it up,, put it into place, mark some holes, and drill those suckers.

Good LUCK =)

Use the rubberized black paint though,, I "think" the grille is stainless, so paint doesn't like to stick very good to it.
ShortBus 10-16-2005 12:47 PM

I had mine powdercoated and the paint sticks fine to the bottom but most of the paint has come off of the top around the edges. I thought about using that tool handle maker stuff. The rubber coating just does not come in enough colors.

PS white is the new blue.

bump more pics.

hey you only have the prodrive lower grill right? what kind of grill are you using for the top grill? does the grill material match?
Jimpreza 10-16-2005 09:28 PM

why doesnt anyone buy some mesh pieces and cut the pattern out themselves? its much cheaper than the kits
xplcitcustmz 10-16-2005 09:44 PM

definetly not for me, yuck
krambte79 10-16-2005 09:46 PM

where do you get the prodrive mesh kit?
ShortBus 10-17-2005 03:19 PM

They are both prodrive I just had the upper painted to match the car.

WHAT IN THE !@#! IS THAT? Looks like a bottle of French's mixed with Grover.

^^ <rickjames> you as cold as ice </rickjames>

Definite points for originality shortbus. Did you powdercoat the wheels (Subzeros?)
jmonty 10-18-2005 02:48 AM

i thought the prodrive top grill came with a stock black plastic grill with it.

do you know what i mean? in the pictures it seems as if the top stock grill was hacked and then the prodrive grill inserted.

also how much did the top and bottom grill cost?

I got quoted for 225 each or so. coming out to 550 bucks....

"woah"<neo>

agreed. it would have looked so much better if other colour choices were made. :(
iwanbo 10-18-2005 12:51 PM

I'm all for unique looks and whatnot.. but what the hell? That yellow wagon is just.... jfklwjjfkflewj3j9 jfw ;w
bushflyr 10-18-2005 01:55 PM

I think the yellow wagon looks great, it's just the blue wheels and grill that... ummm... well... It's like my momma said, If you can't say anything nice.... Please ShortBus, put your Scoob out of it's misery and repaint your wheels and grill something nicer. Maybe pink polka dots or something.

MY ADVICE TO YOU: Paint your morrettes blue in the center. Then youd complete a trainwreak.
garie 10-19-2005 06:23 AM

I actually don't think its that bad. I've seen many subarus way worse. :)

don't listen to these punks. Do whatever floats your boat man
ShortBus 10-19-2005 12:48 PM

The pic doesn't do the paint justice. Here they look really dark but they a lot brighter/lighter and you can see them for a mile.

I thought what the heck since it only cost me $250 to get it all powdercoated. I am selling a liberal bodykit next week and I think I will go with white but I need some new brakes to make it really pop.

I don't mind when people voice their opinion as that what America is all about. I do mind when people who think customizing your car means buying gold wheels for their blue Subaru. Just leave your car stock if it is still going to look like everyone elses car.

So if anyone would like to post some pics of their custom cars I would love to see them.
iwanbo 10-19-2005 02:12 PM

You make a very good point, shortbus, and I'm sorry about my earlier comment.

Like I said though, I love a unique look, and your car is just that and I have to give you props on that. Personally I think the blue on yellow looks better than yellow on blue, but if you're happy with it that's all that matters.
