Front Grill Insert Compatibility

Post by canuck37 »

Can anyone tell me how interchangeable the plastic insert in the front grill is? I have an 03 Sport and want to find another grill insert that I can cut a bit out of, as I have installed a light bar and don't want to leave the entire grill hole unplugged. I know that it closely resembles the Outback ones, and probably other models, but am not sure if they are an exact fit and didn't want to buy one first and find out later, that it won't fit right.

I figure I can find one at a junk yard or on eBay for a few bucks and save the "good" original one for if/when I remove the lightbar or sell the vehicle (heaven forbid!). Thanks!

I think the Baja grill is a bit taller than the legacy/outback one. I seam to recall someone one the NASIOC board trying an aftermarket grill and was not happy with the fit.
Edit - found the post I was thinking of
