...I'm very interested...price? This grill would really show my hella supertones which are now pretty much hidden by the OEM grill.

I noticed that they also have a mesh for the lower grill too. Min order is 10 pcs.

Also noticed that they come from China. Would have to make sure that they fit the North American model and not just the JDM model.

Let's get some prices and go from there.

Forester has a nice sport grill option. Love to see this on an Outback too.

yeah the forester is basically an impreza so people expect some type of sportiness out of, there are even some that dare to modify one.

hmmm, im really doubting the price now because its not listed and it the shipping will probably be insane. well i still want that and ill keep it in my mind but look what someone on LGT.com just helped me find, not bad for $153, if i got a sheet of aluminum and made a grill, it'd cost me about $90 for everything.... 10 11 2011 Subaru Outback Mesh Grille Combo Insert | eBay

That ebay grill from Ontario, CA isn't half bad. I looked at several of the Subage/Guangzhou products from the bonnet to the rear bumper guard. Obviously the QC is unknown, but the designs look pretty nice. Some of the products photos are for right side subie drivers (UK, Indo, etc.)

A run of ten and shipping on the carbon fiber direct from the Guangdong Fab would probably be up there $$$, but you would "GIVE YOU ALL SUBARU NEED."

Such as:

Advantage of CF:
(1) Lightness, help with loss weight & get fast speed
(2)Strong & hard, withstand a heavy collision.
(3) Nice and shining surface, looks cool
(4) High performance to be as racing part
Advantage of FRP:
(1) Fashion, unique & customizing
(2) Versatile designs, pretty lines with third dimension
(3) It can be laid-up to offer complicated compliance.
(4) Easy to mold, low tooling cost & quick prototypes.

All of which are priceless, but a run of 100, 1,000, or 10,000 might be better.

I am in for one if we can get a shipped cost less than or equal too the $153.50+$15 shipping on the ebay stainless grill. I think we would need a run of at least 1000 to hit that price point after delivery to the end user, but I am interested to know what the price will be with the orders your thread can generate.

i saw a few people did, maybe we can organize a group buy.
I love the look of those but i think the site you posted is just an ad generator site (shell company that had no products but sells ads based on Web traffic).

The companies net worth is less than $1000 according to one site.

That looks like a Forrester grill too.
