Oh yes, that's right! But looks cool black, IMO.
You mention "unfortunately": so are you going to return that section back to OEM coded white, then? For authenticity.
I have a MY99 STI 5 - with a FMIC. So have had the central maw mouldings cut away, as you do. Have a black powder-coated honeycomb mesh (to match the OEM grille) in place - as well as the IC core. Looks proper.

I think what he meant was he has had the centre grill and some of the fog/driving light inserts cut away to accomodate the core and pipe work on his bumper and i like the look of it painted black just that little detail makes your type r stand out from the rest i would keep it like it is .

On the MY99/00 bumper there's a single 'bar' moulded in that position. So had to obviously cut all that out for the FMIC and black wire mesh.

Rear window trims repainted today, these had been oversprayed previously and look like new now. They are no longer available new or they'd have been replaced, not sure that would have been worth it looking at these.
Slight repair on replacement spoiler, almost ready for paint

But that was about 1-2 years ago, now.
