Does anyone have the mesh inserts for the grill? I saw them on the Quadratec site. Are they hard to clean with bugs? Just thought they looked kinda cool and was wondering the drawbacks. Thanks.

 

It's a whole lot cheaper to buy gutter guard from Home Depot and rig something up yourselves

 

Check out the "Grill Mod" in JK write-ups...it's way cheaper and looks better in my opinion!

 

I have the Mr. Grille ones ordered from Quadratec. They wash off like any other part of the Jeep. Judging by the chips and dents in them (from stonechips on highway), they have saved my Rad / AC condensor from damage a few times. I would recomend them for both looks and functionality, I'm sure you would find the DIY solution just as effective

 

i have the billet inserts and have noticed a lot of little nicks and a few big ones. i agree with mjolnir you will save your Rad / AC condensor from damage.

 

do you have some pics of you billet inserts??

I picked up a black powder coated version from Quadratec, I guess almost a 9 months ago (where does time go?). Easy install, works great, no problem cleaning it, looks stock, and I'm happy with it.

 

i think i am going with the black ones. looks clean

 

I was also interested in the black ones. Do you get enough rock chips that they start to look bad?
