2006 Owners.....
Ok, you got them....so here is the question.
The grille, the center area where the Subaru logo is, is it able to be removed?
The side grilles (left and right of the center) are totally molded in, correct?
I have decided, the main problem with the 06 is the lack of color on the front end. There is just too much unused space. The car does not look finished up front, and that is why alot of people are still having problems with the front. Not enough color up there.
I photo shopped a couple of grille ideas, and just adding fins, or gills, makes the grille area look much more complete. I'd post the pics, but I'd hate to see some one swipe my designs (not that I think I will be able to go any where with them) plus I could careless about the flames and comments about how they look.
But need to know does the center section come out like the 02-05 grilles.
Thanks.

Ok, gonna ask again, because I got a look at the grille pieces and I swear they have to be able to come out.
Also compairing with the similar Saab 92-X Aero's grilles, they look very similar in construction.
Has anyone tried removing them? I can't due to the dealers not being to happy with the idea. And buying one to prove my point is not going to happen.

The grill is 3 seperate pieces and you have some options for changing them.
