It would look fine. Just put in forum search, "bedlining grill" and tons of thread will come up

I found a ton of every color OTHER then black.

Hmm--I'll try to do a more refined search. I may just do it anyway. I have plenty of black on black already there.

I bedlined my hinges first then decided to go ahead and do the front. Not as noticeable except when I go wash the Jeep as it cleans off a little easier.

I think the bedlined or black grill looks great on colored Jeeps, but on Black, I'm not really a fan. It looks kind of cheap and doesn't accent anything....two shades/finishes of the same color don't seem "nice" to me.

This is a good idea! This is why I haven't done mine yet. I'm afraid I won't like it and there goes my grill. Nice solution!

Did the grill, cowl and hood and door hinges. Looks great and is fairly simple.

Hey man looks sweet. Just wondering if it chips easily. I really want to paint mine but not sure if I'm going to like it. Everyone tells me to bedline it but first scuff it up. So I like your idea better. Thanks.
