^ i do. i think the obp sports grille looks better than the color matched sports-grille or 09+ grilles on most non-obp colored 3gwrx's. but this one... looks kind of blank to me without the subaru emblem. i think the 09+ grille would flow better with his setup. imho.

Grille has a big gap in the middle. Maybe a lip would help too.

So far so good but I haven't even gotten to drive it yet . Pulle the turbo setup and sold and waiting on my extreme turbo system rotated kit and new ark catback . I have gained 3" in the wheel well department or more . My fronts have zero camber maybe even plus I need to lower and get a alignment . So far look wise paints 100% better and looks awsome so much wider . Money to sell and buy was cheaper then starting from scratch and having motor swapping and part switching . So worth it so far so good it's a new car again . |

First full one in north America .
Zero sports has there car in Japan that was made also but used the narrow modded bumper in the rear . They used there front . Was way more work then expected wouldn't do it again but I got the metal Yes sir the off set is the biggest reason now the car isn't aggressive anymore I need to get lower offset . I didn't think there was 3" more wheel well to have but there is . |

IIRC the hubs on the narrow body are a little closer in then a factory widebody, so you'd need even more (less) offset on your wheels to get the same effect as a factory widebody.
Looks great though man. |

Thanks guys .
I loved my car narrow but the wide flairs had me and I wasn't about to give up my car so I built one . Ya well my front with 5mm and zero camber actually + camber is 5mm to 10 mm in the wheel well. The rear is 20mm with a bit of - camber so ya a bit more wheel well I think 3" over stock . I knew I would be needing the more offset but with the extra I had thought I had enough . Well guess again . I ordered 15mm for the rear to start and then got a offer on my rims and found a set of white xd9 now waiting on a deposit so I can in return buy the xd9 and not have two sets of rims . As funny as it sounds I now have more rear wheel well it seems then expected :| |

I think 1.5 in the track difference but the rim setup is also different .
It's enough to make my grids fit like stock on the rear . |
