Default Black grille on silver JK

I have a chance to buy a black grille from the Dealer that they took off a new JK. They replaced it with a chrome grille.

I can get it for 50 bucks and thought I would just buy it to see what it might look like on my silver Jeep. I have black wheels and thought it might be a good look.

What do you think?

Any comment is great feedback.

I really don't know if I will like the look either. Just something I haven't seen on JK yet.

Here is my Jeep for reference.

For $50 I'd buy it in a heart beat. If it doesn't look good on the Jeep you can always buy a pair of lights and install it on the wall as a real conversation piece. If the lights are operable (battery powered) even batter.

Mmmm batter,,

Just get it for that price. The wall thing is a great option if you dont think it looks good. You could get an early cj2 grill and have em next to each other.. would look great over a bar,,

It's worth the 50 bucks just to see. If anything, you could experiement with some line-x/duplicolor bed liner on it. Personally, I think that would be interesting.

I think the black grille would look great on silver.

On a side note, was that you that pulled out behind me today?
That looks like Wea Ridge behind your Jeep in the pic and a silver Sahara JK4 pulled onto 231 behind me this afternoon. (not far from Wea Ridge)

On second thought, the Sahara behind me had its aluminum bumper insert removed. (Unless you took yours off since the pic.)

Get it, I think it will look good. If it doesn't you should be able to get your 50 back by selling it on here.

As a silver owner, I'd like to see it! I found a spare silver one on ebay months back for about $30-40 shipped to me so I snatched it up for my sons room. He already has a CJ grill mounted on the wall with lights(not functioning yet). I debated painting the spare silver grill to pop on my JK.

I say go for it! I've seen it done on some yellow TJs and it looked sweet!

Here's a pic I whipped up just to get a rough idea of how it would look on your JK.

With the silver bumper overlay:


Without the overlay:
