There should be a clip behind it, take it off it comes off. Can I have it. ;)

sorry about quality, camera phone
To remove grille from the manual " 1 Remove the front grille. Use a screwdriver to detach the four clips at the top and the two hooks on each side" 2"Loosen three clips to remove headlight cover"

yea I understood that on how the grill will come off..But they really stuff the STi on the grill well I want it off..anyone know how?

Is it a metal/plastic thingy, that looks like the thing licence plate bolts go on/rivet things?

hah yea I was trying to pop it off with a flat head every way I can but It won't budge and it looks like it's gonna take the grill with it... Comon STi owners I've seen some of you with it off. Show me the wisdom ;)
and thanks for all the help your doing fc6666 appreciate it

Suby is just using the "Where the Red Fern Grows" technique. It is damn near impossible to pull it off directly. What I did for the two I removed was get a small flathead screwdriver ( http://www.amphotech.com/detail.cfm?autonumber=48792 ) and slowly try to slide it under the base of the circle. Once you get it under, gently but firmly just try to pull it towards you an inch or so ( [ __ / ] <---pretend that is the screwdriver). Then remove the tip and do the same thing on the opposite side of the same clasp, so for example 12o'clock then 6o'clock then 3o'clock then 9o'clock. Repeat and it will slowly move, when you get it 5-6mm you can use a pair of needle nose plyers to firmly grasp the post that is now exposed on the front of the grill, with another set of plyers grasp the other end of the plastic post and you should be able to break that end off with the circle wedge attached. After that you can take the emblem off but you have to be careful and slowly wiggle the metal plate through the grill. It does scrape a small bit but if you get absolutely hammered drunk and make a huge jackass out of yourself anywhere within walking distance you will have little chance of remembering the damage in light of a much more humiliating event. Or just take the chance no one else will be taking off your grill and flaming you for the damage that you have to specifically look for. And if you really don't want to take the ebay route and are willing to pass on the small fortune some people pay for the emblem, they make a great bribe to most members on AKIC and if you choose wisely...you will be accepted, forgiven for the damage and even earn a free "get out of flaming" for one n00b post. I chose wrong......

Thanks I guess I'll try to do it tonight or tomorrow if there any other way then that'd be cool also but I'll see what I can do with this information thanks everyone

if you are just trying to get rid of the emblem, just trade grille screens with someone. the hole screen comes out really easy.

the plastic things suck a$$. if your not worried about sellin that little piece just break the bolts. its worth it looks way better off IMO

what do you use to break it off?
I mean like man they like really crammed the emblem on really well
and if anyone does want to trade I'm willing to I just wanted to get it off either tonight or tomorrow

take the grill off and the stick a flathead up under the plastic nuts and pry gently, dont hurt your grill. its not hard..hit me up if your having problems, i took mine off so i can help if you need.

thanks spooln4 I'll try to take it off tomorrow morning. And if any problems I will PM you for further help.

A big hammer and chisel should work :devil: pop that baby right off.

Do you want to sell your sti badge? :D

Do you want to sell your sti badge? :D

hah well the rear STi emblem is still in good condition but for the one on the grill I just snapped it off so It won't stay on anymore. but if you want to buy I'm up to sell the rear one I don't need it anymore. My car is a wrx :) If you see it far that is..

The front one, I was thinking about making a custom key chain. :)

the front one could still be easily attached, just not the way subaru intended.

hah yea if you would want to buy it I'm willing to sell it the back long spike piece is broken off so if you want I don't mind

I should get off work early tomorrow,2ish :banana: so pm me w/ a price

how much do these badge cost anyways? never knew how much..
