4th Gen Grille HELP!

[geckoboy86]

Anyone on here an expert on 4th gen grilles? I know there are Model A-C and Model D-F. I am now starting to understand there is even a difference for A-C between 2.0,2.5i, and GT vs the 3.0R and Spec Bs.

Where does the outback grille fall?

I was looking at a Corazon one that is listed for the outback but not sure if it will fit my USDM Outback bumper.

I know when a Legacy (non Outback) grille is placed on an Outback, they have a small gap under them. I know the Outback won't fit the USDM legacy.

Corazon for Outback (http://www.japanparts.com/db/parts_detail.php?submit.x=22&submit.y=3&NUMBER=00011911&VOLUME=132-003-003&DEALER=1&CAR=6&MIDDLE=2&SMALL=11&MAKER=26&VOLKEY&SEARCH_DEALER=1&SEARCH_CAR=6&SEARCH_MIDDLE=2&SEARCH_SMALL=11&SEARCH_MAKER&SEARCH_VOLKEY&SEARCH_page)

I know the 08-09 is different from the 05-07 and the Legacy is different from the Outback. And JDM stuff is different from USDM. JDM cars have a slightly different shaped bumper. To make a JDM grille fit properly a JDM bumper is needed or the grille has to be modified. Your best bet would probably be to get another grill and do some sort of DIY.

Well...After a night of digging around I found this. There were 2 styles of grille for Model A-C. A short and a tall.

What I am finding says
Short covered 2.0i, 2.5i, 2.0GT, 2.5GT, 3.0R, and the USDM spec B
Tall covered 2.0GT Spec B, 3.0R Spec B, Blitzen, and apparently all Outback models.

I found 2 pics that kinda confirm it.

Here is a Liberty Spec B. Even found the grille listed on japanparts (http://www.japanparts.com/db/parts_detail.php?submit.x=63&submit.y=6&NUMBER=00002964&VOLUME=107-004-008&DEALER=1&CAR=6&MIDDLE=2&SMALL=11&MAKER=5&VOLKEY=&SEARCH_DEALER=1&SEARCH_CAR=6&SEARCH_MIDDLE=2&SEARCH_SMALL=11&SEARCH_MAKER=&SEARCH_VOLKEY=&SEARCH_page=2)

Here is an outback sedan with a similar grille.

Owner claims to have removed the emblem by unscrewing the back plate.

Interesting. That Outback has the 08-09 3.0R Limited wheels.

I know this is a bit off topic, but does any of you know what I can get some of the eyelids (or that's what I know of them being called) like the ones on the red outback? been searching everywhere and can't seem to find them
