Default Impreza STI front mesh?

Like the WR1 has fitted, can these be brought seperatly for the STI?, I see on my car there is an upper one but not a lower one, which I think is odd, as it collects leaves and all sorts, not to mention any low flying stones!.
Any Idea how much they might be, and I'm guessing they would be an easy-ish fit?
Any pics with them fitted would also be great thanks.

Darren.

What do people think about these? I've been thinking about getting some for my car (the Scott Lowe ones), but I'm not 100% sure if I want them or not without seeing them 'in the flesh' so to speak, on someone else's car.

I have Chromdesign grilles on my MR2 Roadster and I think they improve the look of that car massively, which is why I was considering them for the Scoob...

I made myself one that fits just inside. Ali mesh from B&Q, split rubber tube around the mesh, sprayed satin black. Must have cost me 5 or 6 quid! Subjectively much more subtle than the rather bling thing on the WR1

There is genuine Subaru lower mesh part available which not many people know about - more discreet than the WR1 type, tidies up that area nicely and a good match for the upper grill...
Here's a pic on my old wrx..

Bartop:
Thats the sort of grille I'm after, at least it matches the upper one, something the WR1 wouldn't do, or I'd have to buy a silver one for the top.

Any idea if they are still available and the cost?.


JohnD:
How did you fix the made up grille in place?
