What do I need to do with my bonnet to facelift my grille - new headlights / new bonnet?

What options do I have for putting a larger scoop that looks like a big black hole from the front and can I get black mesh vents.

MY93 4 door WRX

Thanks

Question

Grille: thought about black mesh? Mine is done, but didn't have the horizontal bar across the centre. You could remove it, make good, spray it, and mesh it.
Alternatively, look at some of the sites that advertise on here for a new grille. I think they fit OK with your lights, but better with the later lights, but vendors will advise.

Scoop: not sure.

Vents: again, mine are done with 22B style ones with black mesh. I got them from TSL, and sprayed car colour, they look pretty good.

You could go the most expensive route, New Bonnet (MAde from steel & much heavier) Lights will be required.. Alternatively forget the bonnet & just modify a later grille as i did. Did put some instructions on Lighting section somewhere

Scooby96, Its a carbon fibre/resin & it came from Ets racing
Real bargain & looks the bee's knee's

I think the intercooler scoop from Tsl is for the 97 Year of Subaru & will not fit Pre 97 bonnetts as it is wider, Worth a call to check
