Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

Default Drake Billet Grille Pictures

Hey all, I am looking for some pictures of some fellow Jeepers that have the Drake Billet Grille inserts installed. Im particular looking for Black inserts on a black jeep. And also how are they holding up? Chips? etc...

Wanna get some feed back before i pull the trigger on these. Thanks again

I have had mine since December and no problems so far. They survived the winter well, without any chips or fading at all. I did put some blue loc-tite on because after a couple weeks some of the hardware started to loosen. I don't have any pictures, but could post some if you'd like. My jk isn't black either, it's red rock red.

I would just go with the gutter guard grill mod, cheaper and looks awesome. There is a write up on here somewhere. PLUS you can just find it in black or paint it with high heat paint.

Mine are the brushed aluminum on a silver jeep but maybe you get an idea. These things are solid. I had these same ones on my 2008 JKU for over three years before I put them on my 2012 a few months back. They hold up very well!

Here's a couple. There aren't any chips, just some splattered bugs.

Thanks looks good, it seems they hold up well. Worried about fading but u guess in could plastic dip them or paint down the road.
