while you all did a nice job, i just cant get past the fact that it looks like you just replaced the grill with a unpainted or black primed one like so many people do that dont have the resources to paint replacement parts. maybe if I could see one up close it would be different. until then I think i will pass on this mod.

Likewise. I just used the one that came on the Jeep. And it definitely looks a LOT better in person. If my mom didn't drop my high def camera in a tide pool I'da taken better pics. LOL

But yeah. It's somethin ya gotta see up close and personal.

I realize they where not replacement parts but to people who do not know better, they may think that it was an unpainted replacement. so many times I've seen the old beat up truck with the new black primer fender. no disrespect to those that do this mod as a matter of fact i wish i had the guts to do that and the fender trim, just cant bring myself to do it. I finally got up the nerve to remove the Jeep badge from the grill yesterday.
