Hey raynold you have nice car and a nice camera :)

how did you open your headlamps? Does it make any vapour? Stock headlamps are 450$ in here :eek:
I also liked your grill :)

cheers

My corners are painted but from that angle it doesn't show it that well.

RSarte's car obviously shows it better. :D

Thanks 555. :D
How are you? How's the GT doing? Are you modding it to get it to the level your old one was?:D

The camera is a Canon A70.. great camera!! I love it.
I actually photoshopped the image to make the car stand out more.

Anyways, I used a heatgun to crack open the headlight and painted the surrounding chrome which goes infront of the actual bulb. I used a high temp black paint.
You will see what I mean by the chrome piece, when you crack the lights open. I have no problems with the headlights at all. Just make sure to heat the adhesive well so u can push them back in without a problem.;)

$450?!?! equivalent to US dollars!?!?! that's outrageous. :furious:
If you like I can ask a dealer to get one for you for probably less! If you need new ones.:)

The grill is a regular V5-6 grill left unpainted with a green I badge. It goes well with the color scheme. :banana:

PM me if you want more specific directions on the headlight mod.;)

take care!

I got my V5/6 grille from Lisa @ Subaru Gwinett. She's a vendor on here. IIRC, it was $135 plus like $8 shipping. I got it painted for free when I had some bodywork done.

Thank you Raynold. I'm tired of modding cars I just want to stay stock because this year I need to pay my attention to University :) But I have purchased Koni Suspensions 3 days ago with a good price (500$) I'm going to fit them today.The old one has had a Proflex suspension kit so there is a huge diffrence between the stock.

Anyways I like your car.I thought that you had used a microwave cook to open the headlight :) Geninue parts of Subarus are very expensive in here.This also why I had purchased a walbro gss341 from canada otherthan giving 650$ in here.Thanks for your politeness.

take caree

sure is...;)

I paid more, but mine was painted...:D
RSarte 07-30-2003 02:01 PM

Try [URL=http://cc-b.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=CTGY&Category_Code=SI98]CC-B[/URL] for the Orciari style grille, which is like the 22B style. $95 is not too bad!;) and Eddie was cool when I bought the Orciari bodykit from him.

Also... [URL=http://www.writerguy.com/primitive/body.htm]Primitive Racing[/URL] has the V5-6 style grill for $90! I bought brembo rotors and some brake pads from Mike and he's pretty cool too.
These are unpainted prices of course, and non-Subaru (OEM) grills, but I would think they are good quality still.;)

Good luck!!:D
DanzBorin 07-30-2003 02:19 PM

I beleive rallispec is OEM... You might have to call and ask... the nice thing about OEM is it installs just like stock... 2 clips...;)
GC8 Impreza STI 07-30-2003 09:30 PM

Seems like Primitive Racing is the best! :cool:

thx guys!

does it connect with clips, or do you have to screw it in? If you have to screw it in, you are better off paying $10 more to get the real thing...

I asked [url]www.get-primitive.com,[/url] they said it requires drilling to install
(you drill the part to add a tab)


So should i drill a cheaper one or just plug and play a real one?
RSarte 07-31-2003 10:15 AM

Well if shipping doesn't cost you like $20 more then go for the genuine one. But if you don't mind the drilling and saving money... go for the replica. ;)

The OEM one is definitely easy to install! But I was at the point also, where I thought over $100 for a freakin grille!?!?!:huh: But mine came with an "i" badge so $110 was ok. :D
At least, I'd like to think so... at least so my other self won't get pissed off paying that much for a grille. :lol:

It's up to you, but as long as rallispec is the real deal, I'd pay $10 more in a hartbeat... It's not made out of fiberglass, and takes about 30 seconds to put in, and it's just as easy to remove as stock...

Give rallispec a ring and make sure It's real, but since there other parts seem to be, I would assume it is...;)
