The chrome grille overlay for 07 - 08 JK is finally out! It's about $250 - $300. I already ordered mine . I already took the rocker side pannels off and put chrome tubular side-steps on there form mopar, I can only imagine what it's gonna look like on there also. Now I have a black 07 Rubicon Unlimited, and boy let me tell you, never get a black car! Finger prints and all the little stuff you cant see on silver or red cars, shows up. But the upside to black is, chrome looks killer on there, and so does mud
Now those of you who don't like chrome on their trucks, they also came out with mesh inserts too. So either way it looks great!
And one question for ya michaelkern, why are the ones i posted so much more expensive than the ones you got? They both use the same amount of metal, hell, the ones i posted are really pricey, i'd make my own out of chicken fence wire
Boy, i've never seen so much hate against chrome on a jeep. A lot of people automatically think if you add chrome its a hummer wannabe or get the smarta$$ remark of "Chrome won't get ya home"
My God... It's like everybody wants to be the same and have the 'blacked out" or aka "murdered out" look.
I'm not saying everything should be chromed out, but come on wtf?
Here's how i look at it... I am out in the mud playing around and somebody gets stuck and they are a "anti-chrome fan". I guess i will just have to smile and say you are not getting pulled out by me
just kidding... of course i'll pull you out, but be ready to here me tell you how my chrome didn't get stuck...
I agree I get a lot of compliments on my jeep, it has a chrome grill and it can go anywhere any of yours can go, it just depends on what look your going for.
on a sidenote I have one of the Metalcrafters black mesh grilles sitting here in my office. Very well constructed. They are welded onto a CNC punched and pressbrake formed frame. The mesh is dimpled so it sticks into the slots on the grille itself.
It is a really nicely done piece, but I'm not so sure all that is necessary for a mesh insert.
I had to chime in on this one...I'm a chick and that chrome thing is NOT a chick magnet (it's a repellant). And coming from someone who is :rainbow2:, that thing is super :rainbow: (an not in a fabulous way)! Save you $$ and buy something more useful or attractive.
to each his own. I dont like chrome on my vehicles but thats me. I know i have some decent scratches on my front grille and i would be pissed to spend money on the chrome and then scratch it up. Looks like the AEV bumper has it pretty covered though.
They say if it don't go Chrome it....that was until my friend lit his tires up at 65mph and proceeded to do a burnout down the NJ parkway.....then i realized Chrome ain't so bad.
