Default Steelcrafters Grille Install

Heres some pics on the install of a STEELCRAFTERS BLACK MESH GRILLE from QUADRATEC


OUT of the box


JEEP with no Face:


REMOVE JEEP GRILLE & PUT GRILLECRAFTERS ON BACKSIDE


I used black tie straps instead of clip nuts as the fit at the bottom of the grile was not the best:


See bottom profile:


Reinstall Grille:

Is this the one?

A little pricey, but with a little cutting, I think it might work with the MOPAR hood lock...

I was really expecting more, but the fit in the 7 slats is nice as it conforms to the holes. But I agree 289.00 is a little rich. Next time I'll make my own.
