Has anyone mounted this angry eyes type grill to their JK? Would love to see some decent pics of one in real life.

 

I kind of liked it from the pic you showed, but from the side it's clear the top sticks out and the "shark" design gives it sort of a cyclops feel. I like how they retained the 7 slots, but otherwise I don't care for it. Just remember, it's your Jeep not mine.

 

Double post..

 

Actually, no worries. Have decided against that one and have ordered an XProte Grille. I've actually ordered a Wild Boar grill a couple of years back but even after email prompts they never got back to me and didn't complete the order so I gave up. Finally now I've decided to have a little fun with the front end of my JK and ordered this eagle eye grill. I'll update the thread when I've received it, painted and installed it. Here's the grille I ordered (currently on sale):

Here's my JK as it stands:

 

IMO the eagle eye grill looks a lot better than the shark style.

 

Yep, I make you right. I'm going to have it painted to match the black paint on mine. Couldn't quite get my head around the shark style and I have a feeling it needs a non-standard hood to make it work. Think the eagle eye will work well with my rig and it'll be fun to do something a little different with it after 7 years of ownership and Lord knows how many mods. Not modded her in the last year or so except for replacing the windscreen pillar lights pictured with new KC LEDs.

 

You should be aware that the jeep will run warmer with the grille you've picked. A member here has witnessed someone replacing it with the factory grill after the jeep was consistently running hotter.

 

I'm not a fan of the whole "angry" look but for some reason I'm actually digging that eagle eye grill. It at least looks good on that burnt orange jeep...

 

Can't see why the grille would cause that, TBH. It hides what? 1-2 inches of intake compared to the stock grille? I'll let you know how mine performs but I have a snorkel, too, which also takes in plenty of clean air and I'm running a CRD diesel engine. Do you have a link to the thread you're referring to? Would be interested to read it.

Edit: Just found the thread. Interesting. It would see it's the inserts more than the grille itself. I'll see how it goes. I have a stainless steel one piece "insert" behind my stock grille which has always worked fine. I may well remove the inserts from this grille and keep mine in place. Also, temps here in the UK don't tend to be as high as some areas in the US so here it may not be as critical.

 

Maybe because this one looks more "concentrated" than "angry".
