Though its not a part but a mod, I did mesh grill insert using material i bought from home depot. I spray painted it black to match my jeep, but after about a week I could see spots I missed, no matter how hard I tried every day I would see another spot that needed touched up, and spots from rocks hitting it on the highway were popping up constantly. Just today I took it out and put the Mr.Grille Chrome inserts in. If you do decide do that, the directions were terrible, but I personally love how it looks.
Should have went with expanded aluminum!

Update --> nothin' yet. And didn't realize I had already responded to this... too much spare time.
Maybe they cheaped out on your set of screws. Mine have been on for a few months now (March/April) and seem fine. Got em after I had to make a split second descision driving on the highway. A baseball sized rock got kicked off a set of dualies. I couldn't swerve. I could brake and take it in the rad, or punch it and take it in the glass. My windshields' a mess.
My issue with them is that the "brackets" are merely more of the grill material broken apart with slots "hacked" into them. Other inserts out of plastic might be a better move.
But no more dents in my rad since install.
Mr.Grille Black Grill inserts, had problems with the finish was missing black paint, they said it was where the hooks held the grills in place while the were painted
uh OK... and after I installed them had the screws rusted out in 4 days .. great quality
I took them off and I feel much better now I am trying to get a refund...

Same here!
X2! I got them as a gift, but I'm sure they were pricey. Worn through from my heel in no time. Junk.

My JK Ulimited came with the factory hard top so I don't have the door surrounds that the soft top would have. Thus my safari top flops around and doesn't fit on the sides like I'd like.:sad: Kinda looks unfinished.
My solution...I'm going to build some sort of hard safari top, maybe incorperating a Yakima basket or something and bolt it to the cage. Gotta keep the Arizona sun off.
Anybody need a Bestop Safari top in black diamond?

By the way, what about those dang wheel spacers ?
