MOMSWGN Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Takes about 20 minutes after you do the Spec B bumper conversion. I did this on a 05 LGT. 1) Remove clips that would go into the radiator shroud from the top portion of the grill. (I broke them off) 2) Remove the center support bracket (3 screws) from the back of the grill. Break of the little plastic nipple in the middle of the hood release cut out. 3) Break off the two long plastic clips on the bottom edge of the grill. Now the grill should sit flush on the front bumper. 4) This is the trickest part. You have to drill new bumper pop-it holes into the grill. You need to measure carefully otherwise when you close the hood the top portion of the chrome grill surround will be hidden by the hood. 5) Put pop-its into the holes. Will try to get pictures if I get around to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOMSWGN Posted November 29, 2008 Author Share Posted November 29, 2008 Measure once, drill once. I drilled three times to get it perfect, but then again I am a perfectionist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johndas Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Roger that...what's the secret to finding the right measurement...hood closed I assume! J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOMSWGN Posted November 29, 2008 Author Share Posted November 29, 2008 Close the hood until it lashes, but not all the way. Bring the edges of the grill flush with the sides. The grill will be just past the bottom of the grill cutout. Hold the grill in place with one hand and open the hood with the other. Drill where the hole from the bumper meeds the wings of the grill.

rtbrjason Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 The whole front end looks great. I love the bumper especially the way the fogs are as compared to the hideous 08+ styling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOMSWGN Posted December 1, 2008 Author Share Posted December 1, 2008 Looks good. I like the OEM sleeper look. The other type of grill is too aftermarket looking IMO. I've had mine STi grill on since late October, but will do a reveal in Jan when all the mods are complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do like the uber clean look though, it is what i have been after with my mods from day one...! I like both...will post more pics this week.

noswad Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 J- Does your rear hatch open all the way w/ that Thule box on top... Looks like the box slopes up in the back.. Ive used my "Packasport" box for a few seasons and its annoying that I cant open the hatch all the way( Im 6'6'' and dont like to get in funny position to get into the back, but put up with it for secure locking winter storage). Oh and +1 on the Corazon, it jus looks meaner(but I prefer the blue subie badge). Have you ever noticed that anybody driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac? -George Carlin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
