I have been afraid to do this since ordering the grill last spring. Your video helped walk me through the steps and after a couple of hours of doing it alone I am stoked on how it turned out. Thank you very much.
Just wanted to say thank you. My wife hit a deer and damaged the headlight assembly. Your video taught me how to remove the bumper to get to the headlight. It also gave me the confidence to do it myself as opposed to paying a mechanic. Thanks.
Same thing just happened to my wife (True story!) I’m waiting for the replacement grille to arrive so I’m hoping this video will be accurate for a 2019 Outback.
I did the same with my 2009 Legacy; removed the bumper cover to replace the stock wimpy horns. My wife and I just bought a new Outback and new Legacy. This weekend I removed the bumper cover on both and replaced the wimpy horns with Fiamm Freeway Blasters, the same ones I've used on previous cars. Removing the cover is easy, and much easier with a buddy. I found that when reinstalling the bumper cover, first attach the top edge that overlaps the radiator. Using two phillips screwdrivers, insert into the holes where the clips go. This will help locate the cover and hold in place while you attach the other points on the edge and especially the snap clips under the headlights. Once it is in place, bump it firmly with your fist to get it in place. Then install the clips.
Although I’m not installing a JDM grille, this video definitely will help me when I go to put my blue POV emergency response grille lights in my grille on my outback and gives me a better idea of what I’ll be working with. Thank you for the informative video.
THANKS! I received my new grill a couple days ago. My son and I installed it in well under two hours this morning thanks to your video. Much appreciated...looks great, much better than the original, and very easy to install!
Thanks for making this vid, I have a 2018 and got a cheap mesh grille off eBay that need some tweaking to make it fit right, but every part of your guide was spot on and really helped!
Another thing you can do is chrome delete the trim around the windows! I just got an outback and Im going with that, a set of Rokblokz mudflaps and front bumper grill from LP Adventure with the skid plate.
@@congnito9660 Can't believe it's been 2 years with my OB, yeah carbon fiber would look good too, did you do gloss or matte? I did satin black and added custom cut out vinyl in the headlights to make it more aggressive on the front end look, I ended up getting Rally armor mud flaps vs rokblokz and instead of skids I bought the biggest cargo box available lol, well my Thule Hyper XL broke and now Im running a Yakima Skybox Pro. Also added an HID kit and pods for fogs in greenish/yellow
I really appreciate the video but I wish that you would have shown or light up some of the areas where the clips were. The 2 on the sides from the inside I took off the one from the liner and it wasn’t until I broke off one of the sides locking clips that I realized that I had taken off the incorrect ones, after that it was a breeze even by myself. I just used crazy glue to put it back together to biggie but lighting and pausing for a bit to show some of those hard to get areas would have been great. I did this to my 2016 3.6r.
I just plasti-dipped all the chrome off my Legacy 3.6, including the silver cross members on the front grill, looks fantastic and was very inexpensive. Also found these carbon fibre style logos (eBay) with red stars to fit front and rear. Did some subtle red pin stripping and now I've had people comment/photograph my car ...............Couple of other minor things too.
Buy yourselves some upholstery/trim clip tools to pop out those rivets and panels. Much more pleasant than screwdrivers and doesn't damage things in easy-to-see places.
G'day, is there a difference in fitting a mesh grille to a diesel and a ulp model? We are buying a new outback and was told the grille wouldn't fit a diesel due to air flow issues....sounds like the dealer can't be bothered fitting it Thanks in advance!
I wish some Chinese factory could start making a "custom" grill for these outbacks. The JDM grill for these cars just doesn't look like it's worth the price. Mine is lapis blue an all black grill would make it look buck toothed. You guys have any custom tail lights for the 15-17 outbacks?
Any parts like this available for a 2020 Subaru legacy ? I'm new to the Subaru brand but I am absolutely in love with my legacy premium 2020 and I'm looking for parts to enhance and personalize my look to my car.
They will be coming soon! Believe it or not Japan has not had the new 2020+ Refresh available to them yet. So there are no JDM parts quite yet - we should start getting some this summer tho. We do have a notification email list we keep - you can email us to get on it sales@subiebros.com
man... i dont understand why subaru dont make the mesh grill a standard feature on all their export vehicles. The mesh grill is like the signature piece to all subarus. its like the bmw grill - its not a bmw without that grill
The STI grill is $135. Very reasonable. This is $415?! No chance! By the way, your website shows that this only works for ‘15-‘17 models. Needs updating.
binyamj the website is correct, this specific grill is only for the 2015-2017 outback/legacy. The 2018-2019 has a different grill (slightly larger) and the 2020 has an updated shape as well however the bumper removal process is the same for 2015-2020. We don’t set the prices, it’s Subaru who does but if you compare them side by side the sti grill is a very basic and lightweight, the outback grill is way more heavy duty and robust, it also is multiple pieces.

Thank you for this. I had to replace my front grille because a turkey flew into it. (True story). You guys saved me a ton of money!

did you put high tone on one side and low tone on the other side?

Hi Warren, so glad we could help! Really makes a big difference on how the car looks!
Hey Warren what color is your sub i.e.? Any chance we could see a picture?
Thanks for making this vid, I have a 2018 and got a cheap mesh grille off eBay that need some tweaking to make it fit right, but every part of your guide was spot on and really helped!
Great tutorial on how to methodically remove and reinstall. Thanks for making this process easy.
was 100% on board until i saw the price. Looks like i'll have to settle for several coats of plasti-dip to get this chrome situation under control.
CriticoolHit lol
Another thing you can do is chrome delete the trim around the windows! I just got an outback and Im going with that, a set of Rokblokz mudflaps and front bumper grill from LP Adventure with the skid plate.
Why do you even care? It does not make the car better? You just lost your rain and snow protection, by adding this part.
@@edwinmedina4338 what I did with my legacy was carbon fiber rapped the chrome and it turned out really good

Fantastic looking grill!!!
Only question is why isnt this standard equipment?
Looks sick! Best mod ever! Anyone who doesn't do this is lame.
Great video. Hit a peacock and busted up my grill pretty good. Had it switched out in 35 minutes or so
Good video describing how to remove the bumper cover. Thanks a lot!
Thanks! Glad we could help.
I hope you guys reconnected the fog lights... looks really nice!
Nice,
I like what you guys are doing with the Subaru scene. Keep up the good work.
I gotta try one of your products one of these days.
Thanks John! We really appreciate your support!
Really Subaru you have to remove the front clip to replace the grill on these new ones??!. Miss my 04
Thanks for the information save me a bunch of time and money

Gordon Schwartz link for the carbon fiber logo?

I couldn’t get like, half of those first six clips back in to save my life.
Hey DJ,
Thanks for the neon yellow brembos haha keep up the good work guys!
Hey Nabil! Good to hear from you, thanks so much! I hope all is well for you!
For the H6, it's better to remove those plastic backers that restrict airflow if you're in a hot climate.
So is the 2019 JDM Outback grille still available? Only shows up to 17 on your site.
Excellent step by step video 👌🏻
Any clue if the grills are the same size for the 2020 models? That grill is dope!!!
Awesome video!
However, I'm concerned about cutting myself when opening the packaging. Any suggestions?
Safety Scissors :)
As usual, you're a life saver!
My stock grill cracked. I’m looking to replace with same factory grille. Is it easy to transfer emblem from old grill to new grill?
Great step by step video.
Great video, do you know where I can buy a similar grill for a 2012 Tribeca?
Does it fit the 2017 legacy sport trim?
Awesome video! Thank you!
Hey! I noticed in your vid that with the bumper off, there's access to the lame ass OEM horns. Any suggestions for aftermarket, upgraded horns? 👍
What are the differences with the install on the Legacy install? The foglights are different as is the wheel trim.
Wanted bumper removal help for my 2016 Legacy to replace windshield wiper fluid sensor. Thanks!
Do you know if this will fit the 2023 Legacy sport?
I was looking into swapping out the grill on my 15’ Leagacy but screw that. I’m not taking off the whole bumper to do it. Bad design on Subaru’s part.
G'day, is there a difference in fitting a mesh grille to a diesel and a ulp model? We are buying a new outback and was told the grille wouldn't fit a diesel due to air flow issues....sounds like the dealer can't be bothered fitting it
Thanks in advance!
Any reason why your parts are only for 2015+?
Can the black pieces in the lower corners that surround the flog lights be removed and replaced without damaging the rest of the bumper cover?
I wish some Chinese factory could start making a "custom" grill for these outbacks. The JDM grill for these cars just doesn't look like it's worth the price. Mine is lapis blue an all black grill would make it look buck toothed.
You guys have any custom tail lights for the 15-17 outbacks?
Do you know if this grill will fit on a 2020 Legacy?
Will this work fora 2015 Subaru Impreza hatchback?? If not what do you recommend?
Can't see the link on your store? I'm in Australia and would really like this grill.. Can you ed mail price and delivery cost (roughly)
Please made an Ascent one! (Even though there isn't a JDM Ascent)
what does the JDM grill do?

Do you know if this works/fits the 2018 model?
Sweet!! Link to order the grill?
www.subiebros.com
Wish they made this grille for 2013 OBs! I hate my oem grille.
Do they make one for a 2014 ?
Every time I check the website its always out of stock. Anyway we can be on an email list that tells us when this is available again?
Hi Karol, please email us at sales@subiebro.com to be put on the notification list!
do you have more videos
Where did you buy (order) this grill from?
hey bro .got any mesh grill for forester 2016 black? ty

That is correct, so does the grill in the video. Subaru only makes them in one style/color.
Does this fit the 2018 outback?
We need one for a 2012!!!😭😭😭
man... i dont understand why subaru dont make the mesh grill a standard feature on all their export vehicles. The mesh grill is like the signature piece to all subarus. its like the bmw grill - its not a bmw without that grill
Holy hell! Anyone else remember how easy it USED TO BE to replace the grill and bumper on the 05-09 Legacy and Outback????
Where in oregon do you live? I am in Bend.
We are located in Portland.
nice grill
I really wanted one of these but couldn't justify $500.
Will this fit the 2018 Subaru Legacy?
