Here’s my Sahara “blacked out”. Used SEM Trim Black spray paint on Mopar parts from JustForJeeps. Worked well, I think.

I installed the Mopar OEM inserts and the fog light bezel OEM's.

Looks great. What's the method you used for installing the fog lights bezels? I've read a couple of different methods. Thanks in advance

There are is a thread with photos on how to remove front bumper cover. It’s a bit is a pain to remove. You need to remove cover in between grill and bumper (6 tabs), numerous tabs behind bumper and a lot of 7mm screws. Once that’s done, cover should come off and you will see bezel connected into slots. I used a flat head to push them out. New ones pop right in.

Consider painting them while they are still in. Good luck.

Thank you. I've already bought and painted a new set ...

I received my Mopar grille inserts and the finish looks great with just OE primer ...

A question for those that installed their Mopar Grille inserts with primer from factory...How is the finish holding up?

I kinda skimmed this thread , sorry if this has been answered.

Is it not possible then to replace the bright silver Sahara grill accents with the darker black/ grey sport or rubicon version directly?? That is, is it only available as an unpainted part??

Hello all, I have a question for ya. I own a JL Sahara and so like the silver trim that the Sahara comes with around the grill openings but would like to remove the silver trim around the headlights.

Is it possible to remove the silver trim around the head lights? Does anyone know?
