lot's of folks make their own but there are several styles of ready-made grill inserts for sale at the usual shops. just google "jk grill inserts" (some are $$$)


EDIT: I thought OP meant the inserts, not the full grill.

Several people have used bed liner or paint to make their grill black. Here are a couple I found.

It's fairly easy to do... Remove the grill, scuff it with some fine grit paper, clean it off, shake the can, spray the Duplicolor liner on, wait till it dries, reinstall!

Looks good bwink999, like all the mods too! Obviously you no longer need me to send you how to do it as you have figured out how very very easy it is.

Looks great!

Default Another Stone White JK with a Black Grille

Here is my JK with a painted grille. I know a lot of folks on here are using textured paint or bedliner type materials to do theirs, mine is actually off of a black Jeep so it's a little different. I plan following up with black door and hood hinges to tie it all together.
