Hey all -
Placed an order on a JLUW Sting Gray, and I know I'm going to catch a lot of heat for this but the one thing I don't like about the Willy's is the black grill that doesn't match the body color. (I got the Willy's mainly because of the Sun+Sound package, aggressive tires, and tan seat; which made it a steal compared to getting a JLUR/Sahara).

What is the best way to swap out the grill for a sting gray colored one? Also what is the formal "part name" for it? Is it something that's easily done?

Jeep Wrangler JL JLU Willy's Black Grille Delete? 1655769418180


In case there's any confusion - as to what I'm referring to.. the black grill/inserts above^.

Thank you !

You're not the only one; I'm contemplating a similar move. Since my JLU is HV yellow, I didn't figure that I'd find another one that color, so I picked up a grille that a local Jeep shop removed for an aftermarket install. I'll have it painted to match, and keep the black Willys grille in case I change my mind later.

Yeah,. Don't get the black grill thing??? I think body color makes the Jeep complete.
But we're all different so I can understand if others prefer and like it.

Super easy to change out. Post a WTT in the marketplace and I bet someone will trade you. Just post WTT black Willys grill for your Sting Gray.

Great suggestion!

I haven't yet, but then I haven't looked either. I had planned on taking it to a local body shop and having them paint the grille along with the half doors I picked up (because the dual door group was not available with HV yellow when I ordered my JLU).

We’re looking fo a black grill for our white Wrangler, but can’t seem to find one. Let me know if you sell yours.

I also have the Sting Gray grill from my 2022 Wrangler. We could trade.
