No. Obviously it'd be annoying to keep every color in stock, so I'm 100% sure they're in grey primer. I just spray painted mine with a toyota black, it looks great. Of course.... you have to be pretty good at spraying things, but hey.

No, they don't come painted. They come finished in a gray gel coat and are ready to be painted. Using some spray paint from www.paintscratch.com would be your best option.

Regards,

Mike

They are a grey plastic. You still might consider in priming the grill itself before you add your final coats of colored spray.

Dude, it really isn't worth the extra cost. Go to a car parts place and purchase toyota black metallic, it has little flecks of silver in it, instead of tiny flecks of red... so it isn't an exact match, but nobody will ever ever EVER notice, because of the following 2 reasons:

1. There aren't very many red flecks in the subie black paint
2. There aren't very many silver flecks in the toyota black paint.

Trust me on this. It looks great.

Oh. Crap. I thought you had a black car. Anyway, I guess you could paint it pink so it would match your side mirrors. Heh.

I am a pessimistic optimistic. I think the worst is going to happen, that way when it does, i don't feel as bad, but if the best happens, i am twice as happy.

Are you planning on getting a kit from www.justairbagit.com or something? They always advertise in Sport Compact car and they say they have a height adjust coilover for EVERY application, and if they don't have one, they'll make one. I'm always tempted to call them.
