Pssst, Ryan... [re: grill]

How do you like your STi replica grill? It looks DOPE in pics, but what's the quality like up close? How is the fit? How was the paint match?

The quality and fit are just okay. I had a friend of a friend paint it, and the color is just slightly off. I noticed the screws that hold the screen on are starting to rust out as well. I would perfer to have a real STi grill, but $2XX vs. $50 makes the replica look a lot nicer.

The screen is dangerous though everytime I try to open ryans hood to see the goodies he's got under there I have to remember that the screen is exposed and that if you slide your finger over that area you could get cut (very unlikely though)

Other than that it looks great! I went with the STI Grill and I'm VERY pleased! I must agree though that the cost of the STI Grill is quite pricey but it's well worth it after it's on your car. I was lucky I was able to get mine for $180 shipped new from Japan
