Grillcraft Grill bits installed....

Yes I'm sponsored by Grillcraft.com - but this is a cool set up!
Just installed their 3 piece kit on the Rally Wagon....
I chose the black powdercoated pieces (other option is silver)

Your thoughts?

I have the silver on my WRB wagon. Looks great and several people have come up to me and asked "what the hell kind of car is that?"

The lower one even survived a fight with a small pinon (see the ABS thread). Popped right back into shape.:lol:
Subie Gal 02-25-2003 11:04 AM

sweet!
i noticed that the lower one was keeping debris out of my radiator in the first rally/rallysprints i ran with them installed.
that's the whole idea of installing em on the rally car...
P R O T E C T I O N....
but i think they LOOK good too

IMHO?
makes the car look mean... like "swallow ya kid whole" mean :lol:

Your not going to paint your new bumper?
Subie Gal 02-25-2003 11:35 AM

nope. not painting the front, or the rear...
and i've installed the sideskirts to give it a black "ring" round the bottom....

i "was" going to paint em... but... after i installed them -
i dunno.. i thought it looked kinda mean :D

it's appropriate for a rally car ;)
hell, the paint would just end up scratched anyway... :lol:

I like my lower grill I got a couple of weeks ago from you too. Really sets off the STi mesh fog lamp covers.
momoney627 02-25-2003 04:08 PM

I don't like it. I guess its good for offroading but not very stilylish though..

MO$
Subie Gal 02-25-2003 04:13 PM

actually you have it backwards :)

it's meant to be stylish... NOT for offroader's primarily...
but i thought it'd be a nice addition to the rally car
and the added protection may come in handy.

for sale?
Jamie are you selling these? If so how much? Thanks,CHRIS......:alien:
Kean 02-25-2003 11:54 PM

I'm sure they're very functional, but they don't do much for me. Perhaps if they were set further in (about an inch or so). I know that may not be possible without modification to the existing plastics, but that's my take on it.

....still looks o.k. I guess. ;)

The hood scoop grill looks like a nice solution to bent intercooler vanes.

Subiegal,
Is that the same wagon that I saw pictures of on your site with a crap load of fire damage?

The added protection is deffinatley worth it but to each his own. Good luck w/ the rally car though..

To be honest with you I think it's ugly. The bottom one is bad, but the top one is just horrible. It looks like a cheep ricey upgrade, and the fact that it hides the Subaru symbol makes it 10x worse.

But fuction over form... :disco:

Mike~~
Subie Gal 02-26-2003 02:48 PM

i wish you could see the emblem too...

but they look kinda menacing w/the grill bits in place...

it's actually a lot higher quality than i thought in just viewing photos before i received the item..... and yeah... the function is there ;)

N'CTRL 02-26-2003 02:50 PM

Ah, as an afterthought, that red tow hook is awesome!

Mike~~
Subie Gal 02-26-2003 02:52 PM

LOL... :lol:

SCCA Rules state we have to paint them flourescent....
for whatever reasons... hehehe... hopefully i'll never need to use it... ;)

not bad, but 3 things:

- do they make them for the STi HoodScoop?

- The grill for the upper radiator should definitely go behind the existing grill. I have the STi grill and there is no way I will put this aftermarket grill one in front of it.

- the bottom grill should be pushed a bit back.
