I have it on my HellaYella, but wouldn’t dare on the wife’s bright white because it looks like a panda.

Whatever you say Rotten banana

Interesting that Jeep installed the larger Gladiator style grill inserts. What engine option did you get?

might be because of the front trail camera. That was another reason I was considering the satin black...just the fact that I can get a gladiator grill instead with the wider grill slots and more open mesh

To me blacking it out on a light colored Jeep diminishes the iconic look of the Jeep grill.

I ordered the satin black grille when I ordered my JLR. It's bright white with black fenders and top; I think it looks awesome with the contrast.

Bought the Mopar satin grill. I actually disassembled the factory one and swapped in the gray grill and headlight bezels which, IMO, makes the black appear less monolithic. That is pretty easy thing to do.

looks good! Thanks for the pic. Also looks like you got the “better” grill inserts. That’s another reason I was considering the satin grill, cuz I can order the jt grill which comes with them standard.

I picked up what I'm assuming is a Willy's shiny black grille on eBay... It was a dealer take off at $300 shipped and I'll put it on when I do LED headlights.

That's what i was thinking of doing but I have the trail cam, so I'm not sure how the mesh will swap out.

The mesh and bezels in the grill are made up of several separate pieces that lay on top of each other behind the grill itself. I don't have the camera myself so can't say much about what that piece looked like but it might be a special piece amongst others that are the same. Get a trim tool and watch some YouTube videos about taking apart, it is easy and you might find it is possible with your camera. If not, easy to put back together as it came.
