JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

Any other Sahara owners with Painted Inserts?

I will be interested to see an update after 2-5,000 miles. I have never had a ton of luck with paint and front grilles/bumpers. Then again I am not much of a attention-to-detail painter.

Looks good! I only have my stock rear bumper on now, swapped stock front with XHD Stubby bumper. I would assume Jeep made silver inserts because they're interchangeable across all the different color models on JKs & it costs less for this small "upgrade". I may paint my rear insert this weekend now that I've just received a couple spray cans of Red Rock

BEAUTIFUL. I like it.

That said, my initial thought was "what is up with these Satin Silver bumper Inserts?". They really don't look good in Satin Silver, so I had them painted the same color as the rest of my Sahara.
Have any of you other Sahara owners painted or thought about painting your bumper Inserts? Here are mine and I really, really like them painted, but to each their own.
