Yes, the Grills are getting painted black. I'm not running A/C so I need some protection from road debris for the radiator. The bumper is the way I got it from Japan, I'm only going to modify it if I get a front mount.
/\ And thanks for the pictures, I tried searching but my searching skills suck.
They look good, maybe if I can get a hook-up......

I had to bring it home for a few days, they had a shipment of about 8 cars they had to repair for insurance, didn't have room to keep my car there, as it's a side job. I'm taking it tomorrow night and leaving it for a few more days, should have the front half done then.

I installed the 2 new wheels studs last night, topped off the rear diff. this morning and took it back to the body shop. Should have the Front half painted by the end of the weekend, I'll get some pictures up ASAP, probably Sun. night or monday morning.

I've been working on subarus for most of my life, and I've been working on my Subaru projects locally for almost two years straight now, So I've built alot of friendships with alot of different people that help me get things done. It's very nice.

Still needs to be buffed, but it's progress! There wasn't enough stands and room in the booth to the grills and fog covers, but I'm really pleased with the color selection.

Scottsdale area. just north of phoenix.
Here's a few outside, I'll try and get better ones. weather's kinda cloudy right now, don't want to mess up the paint.
