Has anyone colored their gutter guard for the front grill? If so can you post a pic. I want to install some but not sure if I should keep them black (my jeep is black) or add some color to them.

Mine are painted rescue green(or close to it) I'm out if state and don't have my jeep or I would take a picture. You should be able to find plenty though on here, I've seen a lot on black jeeps and it looks good to me

Opinion. If its all black....stay black. If its got a few accent colors....spray paint them the accent color.
Just my opinion.

I agree with this.. I have like 5 different sets and they all looked good in the grill but with nothing else colored it looked odd so go big or go home with color in my opinion. I ended up staying all black.

I have a berry pink theme going on right now my tow hook, differential cover, and the bolts on my bead locks are pink. I just think the front needs a little color. But don't want over kill with pink.

[QUOTE="Heather_Jeepgirl;3558752"]Well I have a small berry pink theme right now my differential cover is pink, tow hook in back, and just the bolts on my bead locks so I don't want it to be over kill with pink. But I thought the front needed a little color. Would it be too much pink ?

In that case....pink. Yep. I think that accent would look....PRETTY. No seriously. It would look great with the combo u describe. U could even do the factory front hooks pink as well. I don't think it'd be overkill.

I was going for the black out look, but then I added in the red gutter guard, and a few more other accents. I only did it because there's like 4 other blacked out jeeps in town

Take one end, loop it through and tie it to itself. Spin so not is on the back. Gather up loose end, and just keep wrapping until you get to the end, pulling tight every 2-3 wraps. Loop the loose end behind the last wrap and tie off to that wrap. Both knots are behind the handle and out of sight.
