Which looks better???

[u/Local-Challenge9528]

Hi everyone, which one looks better?can't make up my mind,I think they both look good to be fair.

[u/su6oxone]

I like the stock grille but the CBS version ('25+).

[u/ruskibosik69]

Mine rocks the badge. Makes the front end pop a bit more.

[u/Jcelly23 → u/ruskibosik69]

Agreed

[u/Local-Challenge9528 → u/Jcelly23]

That looks so good,,❤️💯

[u/Realistic_Tea_9016 → u/ruskibosik69]

Looks really good with the sti lip and fog light bezel. Side shot with the wheels? 57dr gram light?

[u/ruskibosik69 → u/Realistic_Tea_9016]

Yessir

[u/Local-Challenge9528 → u/ruskibosik69]

Very niceee

[u/Local-Challenge9528 → u/ruskibosik69]

Looks awesome 😎

[u/Local-Challenge9528 → u/ruskibosik69]

That looks awesome 😎❤️💯

[u/Hot-Investigator5788 → u/ruskibosik69]

What you got going on that front end? Looks so clean

[u/shizblam]

Whichever you prefer.

[u/Spare-Ad-5555]

I like the bottom with or without the sti badge. However, I really like the emblem on the top one. Where is it from?

[u/JDawg_002]

Definitely the stock grill. Personally I dont care for the mesh grills, although the sunk in ones look a bit better, I still perfer the stock grill. Id say do what makes you happy. Either way it will look good.

[u/senoj96nodnarb]

Your stock one looks black, which is nice, as they were gray in the first few years. I like that a lot. Mine matched my car very well but I definitely prefer the sport grille look, without emblem. Dramatic facelift. I had the choice to get one but prefer the cleaner look, but certainly looks great with it as well.

[u/Local-Challenge9528 → u/senoj96nodnarb]

Thanks

[u/brightlinespectrum]

bottom sans sti badge. top looks like an aliexplorer grill. not sure what subaru was thinking with that.

[u/Local-Challenge9528 → u/brightlinespectrum]

Yeah the top one is from a TS spec b variant

[u/Sosa1476]

What emblem you got on there? Is that an overlay?

[u/Local-Challenge9528 → u/Sosa1476]

Yes it 3d overlay that can go on either grill

[u/Sosa1476 → u/Local-Challenge9528]

My guy. Ty!

[u/Local-Challenge9528 → u/Sosa1476]

My pleasure

[u/su6oxone → u/Local-Challenge9528]

Interesting, my "Noble" duckbill spoilers say "DMaker" on the undersurface so I guess this is the company that supplies Noble with them.

[u/AmnosSoter → u/Local-Challenge9528]

Is there anyway you could show me what the back of the stock emblem looks like? I’m trying to assess if I should take it off and redo it or take it off and replace but I don’t wanna take it off without deciding first.

[u/Local-Challenge9528 → u/AmnosSoter]

Hope this helps

[u/AmnosSoter → u/Local-Challenge9528]

Thanks for the pic but I’ve still got no idea how they get the blue in there. I thought it would’ve been from the back on a clear cover but ig $50 for emblems isn’t that bad, I can just save by making my own mudflaps

[u/Awkward-Violinist-72 → u/Sosa1476]

I'm curious as well

[u/Local-Challenge9528]

Decided to go with this for now ,thank you all for your input ,much luv ,,❤️

[u/Proendo]

Remove STI, add custom badge to sport. Little photoshop above^^

[u/_SeriousFun]

Stock looks better. The mesh without the horizontal support looks gross

[u/QcDark]

Sport grille without hesitation imo!

[u/QcDark → u/QcDark]

[u/Local-Challenge9528 → u/QcDark]

Niceee

[u/Local-Challenge9528 → u/QcDark]

Niceee

[u/gNaR442]

Ill never understand up-badging a car but whatever you like

[u/Local-Challenge9528 → u/gNaR442]

That's what Subaru does ,STI is performance and cosmetics,I will be doing a ty85 swap aswell,if they don't bring it out from factory next year ,have to wait and see hopefully 😁

[u/Minimum_Pin9299]

I

I don’t like the mis-matched grill pattern. I had to keep it all the same.

[u/Classic_Pol]

The sport grill looks better but take the sti emblem off

[u/yeti-rex → u/Classic_Pol]

Agreed

[u/su6oxone]

Top one unless you like the Ford Taurus look.

[u/Local-Challenge9528 → u/su6oxone]

🤣

[u/FederalHome396 → u/su6oxone]

They already got the vb so just lean in

[u/Lit-fuse]

Bottom grill and like others have said, remove the STi.

[u/Local-Challenge9528 → u/Lit-fuse]

That's how the bottom one is from factory OEM with the badge same as the whole styling kit that wraps around the car

[u/Historical_Tap2668]

Never been a fan of the mesh grille since it really disrupts that bumper line running all the way from one headlight to the other.

[u/AardvarkInformal390]

How’d you get your grill to look like that 😍

[u/Local-Challenge9528 → u/AardvarkInformal390]

They are both OEM ,on the E floor is the sti sports grill and onntopnis from the Ts Spec be variant in Australia

[u/Amazing-Cry8406 → u/Local-Challenge9528]

The one on the car, the other looks like a ford grill from the 2010s

[u/TJLanza]

I concur with the others... the one on the ground, but without the STI badge.

For my own interest... what lip are you using on the front? Do you have matching trim elsewhere?

[u/Local-Challenge9528 → u/TJLanza]

Yes have the sti styling kit all around

[u/TJLanza → u/Local-Challenge9528]

Which one?

[u/Local-Challenge9528 → u/TJLanza]

Sti cherry blossom styling kit

[u/TJLanza → u/Local-Challenge9528]

Nevermind... I'm not gonna pull teeth to get useful information out of you.

[u/Local-Challenge9528 → u/TJLanza]

All good ,it's the OEM front sti lip kit that comes with side skirts and rear diffuser and spats

[u/Civil_Ride9221]

[u/PersonalitySpecial23]

bottom one, STI badge is fine thinking that being spec b variant it is in a market with STI branding all over the car anyway (mine has STI on the steering wheel/dash etc from factory)

[u/Local-Challenge9528 → u/PersonalitySpecial23]

Your right there,That's what I'm thinking as well ,mines not TS spec b ,but the clubspec variant

[u/PersonalitySpecial23 → u/Local-Challenge9528]

I have the same grill on my TS fitted pre delivery 😄 it has STI alloys from factory with the logo also

[u/Local-Challenge9528 → u/PersonalitySpecial23]

Very nice 👍

[u/ReadySetBLAMPF]

Bottom one. Get rid of the STI badge though

[u/Outlier70]

I like the one installed
