Default Rugged Ridge Sparten grille!

I have yet to see this on any other jeep. It required minor modification to the headlight surround. The fitment is not as good as the OEM grille. The quality is better than OEM the plastic grille is more solid and the metal grill is heavy duty. Overall I love the way it looks, I think I may paint it white or the metal grille white or my third idea is to paint the outside white and leave the headlights around black in the grille black.

How off was the fit? I have been thinking about this, but hear the fit was pretty bad. I love the way it looks

Other than that and the trim work around the fog light clip, it wasn't a difficult install! It was worth it imo!

this definitely finalized my decision on getting one. These pictures were spot on. My jeep is black so no one will really be able to see the gap anyways. So this will be perfect. Thanks!!!
