BRIGHT WHITE Wrangler JL Club

Grill makes it pop. Is that the satin grill or did you plastidip yours?

I had it painted satin at the local shop. I did plastidip the front fog light bezels and side emblems. I'm sure I would have been fine and saved 150 bucks plastidipping the grill, but they did a great job. Also ha a $400 quote to have it vinyl wrapped.

Finally have something to post here. I just picked up my JLUR on Friday. That 25 day wait for my order was a killer. :D

Is Jeep giving the option of white letters on the Rubicon tires now? Or did they just recently switch all of them to tires with raised white letters on the BFG KO2s?

You have the option ("OWL") when ordering to have the letters on the outside for no extra charge.

I opted for the outside white letters.

Hi all,

There’s 51 pages that I plan to look through, but thought I’d ask as well ...

Any picks of white JLU Sport S with Rubi standard takeoffs flaotingfg around? I was initially thinking black but my wife likes white and I’m starting to appreciate the contrasting white and black.

Thanks, Brad

Where did you get the red license mounting plate. Strange shape

Great configuration - like the black fenders and top. Very nice

The dealer will undoubtedly get an ok from FCA to paint the grill and 3 side moldings.. They may let you get it painted black versus white. Reality is, once they have a body shop paint it, FCA is done with it, as in no more grill warranty in regard to the finish lets say. You have a problem after painting it's on you and the body shop..

My dealership gave me the option to paint the white grill white or black but I declined because....

PROBLEM ...... Any decent body shop will warn you not to paint that white plastic grill black! Why you ask ......... well, after painted, any little chip will reveal the white underneath. In short order, you will have a white speckled grill. Sure you can try to touch it up.... have fun with that.

Painting white on the white plastic grill will leave you with a grill that chips will not show up as bad on...

BEST BET is, if you want a black grill, regardless of the reason, is for you to buy one of the JL grill's (comes in black) and have it painted the exact color black you desire. Geeez, you may even like the black they come in.. Leave the stock grill in the closet and hopefully, in a few months you can get a new white version grill under warranty.

So, you want that newly purchased black the color black you want.... Either paint it at a cost of $350-600+- or save a few hundred and have the product "Auto Flex" applied in the color matte black lets say. Auto Flex application will cost you about $200 ... done by a professional applicator. Now, when you get the grill chips, (and you will) you will not see the chips as under the top coating it is black. 8-)

An option for some if you can work it out with the dealer...... IF you like the color of the Mopar Black Satin Grill for JL or the JL Assembly grill.... they are black but a different shade, then get the dealer to get FCA to approve that they get you one of these grills and install same. I also had my dealer offer this..... but I do not personally like the color black on either grill so I declined.

In closing, careful with any grill decision you make.....remember a painted grill is far far different then the white plastic grill that comes with the JL. Painted grill, will be very prone to chipping versus the white or black plastic grill.

Hopefully, soon the manufacturer of the grill will find away to manufacture the grill in a way where it will not yellow over time and or sun/heat exposure.

p.s. My dealership GM has been terrific to deal with. I got the pick of the litter so to speak with him. A stand up guy.
