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:

That looks stupid I wouldn't do that. I'd still buy the grill to have as a spare though.

Doesn't look too bad if you want to do something different. Personally for $50 I would buy it anyways to hang on the wall though.

I'm torn. If you had the X or Rubicon with the flenders in black, I wouldn't hesitate. But with the silver flenders, it's a toss-up. For $50, I would probably tell you to get it anyways.

Now, if it were me, I'd get it and paint it flat black. I would also get rid of the silver overlay on the bumper and either paint my flenders flat black or trade them with someone who has a silver X that would like the painted flenders.

I think that a flat black would be cool.

I think with his black wheels, the black grille would look good.
The factory wheels and black grille do look a bit funky together in the Photochop.

I have one for sale. Black grille that is. Tryed it on the wife's silver jeep over the weekend, didn't look bad. She hated it. I did not see this thread in time to snap some pics. IMO it would look better on a jeep with aftermarket bumpers, the shiny black kind of clashed with the matte black bumpers and fenders.
