t1m0007 Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Hey Guys, new here. yes, i'm a 2.5i owner- i'll put that out there- anyway, just got the car this week and decided very quickly that i wasn't a fan of the chrome. so, with a little motivation, some help form a friend, and some good words of advice from members of this forum, I decided to go ahead with blacking out my grill and debadging today. Photos attached. To note: I went with the "plastidip" rubberized coating rather than a duplicolor flat black. I really like the look of the stuff. Check it out here: http://www.plastidip.com/ (no affliation, just sayin.) We goofed around a little while the paint dried and debadge the thing as well. i decided to use the plastidip on the "subaru" badge, still drying tho so I'll post pix of it mounted in an edit later on. Next up for January: -Headlight Clearing and Blackout -25% tint -chrome strip on tails blackout. and this thing looks sweet: http://bit.ly/gLYKMn Eventually I'll be lowering and looking at wheels (black too, duh), but lets not get ahead of ourselves here. Thanks for reading! Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subie3429 Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 I like it. Looks good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brunex Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Nice but why remove the chrome inserts from the grill? Also why remove the emblems??? No need to bro! Thats the benefit of plastidip, it is easy removable. Gonna do the same to my LGT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cipher_nemo Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Cool. Plastidip is fun since you don't need to mask anything. It just peels off where you don't want it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Just recently did my grill and wheels. http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj305/Mitch_9_23_60/SUBARU/DSC01674.jpg Wheels needed it due to this curb rash. http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj305/Mitch_9_23_60/SUBARU/DSC01645.jpg http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj305/Mitch_9_23_60/SUBARU/DSC01652.jpg http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj305/Mitch_9_23_60/SUBARU/DSC01651.jpg If I'm going faster than you, Move Right.

K2e2vin Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 You could have used JB weld to fill in the scratches, sand it down, and then paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Yeah, I thought about that later. I guess I had hoped that it'd be thick enough to fill it in. :shrug: If I'm going faster than you, Move Right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skidude Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 I blacked out the grill on my OBXT and I like it a lot. It's pretty subtle but just a little... meaner. I keep wanting to do the badges but I haven't figured out the best way to mask them yet. When I do badges I have trouble getting the plastidip off the paint while leaving it on the emblem.

05sleeper Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 I took all the chrome off and cut out the wings and added mesh to my grill. Like the chromeless look http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee48/boyband_01/20120924_193657.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
