Glad you didn't sell it too mate, I have been reading and following your build and it looks/sounds amazing!!

If you feel up to it wouldn't mind you taking me for a squirt in it tomorrow around the pans??

Sexiest engine bay I've seen in some time Tino, even if (as you say, not me) it does need a clean up
In answer to your question I like it better with the grill on, just a bit more refined. Maybe if the radiator had the same core as the FMIC so it was more of a seamless transition......Still looks porn either way imho.
Congrats on going forward with your goal and I'm almost positive that 10s slip will be framed and behind glass (at least until the 9s one comes along)

Saw this at ASG on Friday, had to look twice cause of the V-mount.
Good luck with the quads mate, a comparison between the two setups should be interesting

Personally I would fit the grill, the bare bonnet catch is not a good look.

Please be advised that if you keep this very rice badge people who bought this product also purchased:
Blow off Valve sound generator, Magnet Stickon Sunroof, Real Chrome Paint, and the Bunnings Airbox

I was nearly going to add "Quad Throttle Bodies" but that would have been plain mean

Nice Tino, those Vmounts look cool. Wondering why you are concerned with your temps. My GC has AAALLOTT less work done, cruises at 86degrees, idles at 90-92degrees and thats when the thermos come on and it'll drop back. If i have just stopped shortly, and restarted the car my PowerFC will pick up my temp at 96degrees sometimes, 99.97 degrees is boiling point of water and considering its coolant, im sure it'd be good for alot more. From what ive seen alot of subarus seem to run at this temp., plus your engine would be doing some serious work punching out double to triple the ps.

Need to shine up that manifold, Tino..

Vmount looks nice. Hopefully it yields good results.

Definitely needs the grill imo.
