Looks awesome, nice to have someone from a Quadratec sample actually follow through and give people what they want. That price not-color-matched is a tough pill to swallow though, especially if you've already upgraded your headlights to an Oracle offering or otherwise. Hope some people from here get it and post their thoughts!

Love it, but not for me. However, Quadratec, if you are listening, make those CJ style wheels in that bronze color. My brother has the black ones on his JK, love them. I want the bronze ones, do it!!!

That's cool, but....from the front it looks rather sad :( That bumper though - gotta have that!

This is really cool. It says it comes with "including the grille, hardware, adapters, and steel bumper" but nothing about the actual lights. I'd assume the lights are included?

Think it looks great and love the simple steel bumper, but really don't understand how they're advertising a "headlight adapter" instead of the actual square headlights shown in the photos.

Guess it's to be expected from a guy that makes neat door pocket replacements without a 2-door only option :facepalm:

Saw this or a similar YJ grille on a Gladiator at SEMA a couple years ago. I think it's ironic that everyone made a fuss about the boxy headlights before when the Jeep was so square. I like the look but that's a lot of money that could be used for real upgrades.

Back in the day my brother has a YJ. This brings back so many memories. I think it looks really good. I could see doing this. I would guess any YJ compatible headlight would fit? What will be the cost to paint it? I would guess it would come unpainted.

Now if only people would buy this instead of the angry eyes grille. LOL

$900 Canadian for a grille? I prefer 100$ in materials and paint to make my own. Just need to break out the plastic welder and start filling in the old round areas

It's definitely not done yet, I only had time this weekend to get the headlights themselves mounted. Next weekend I'll take care of actually making the grill headlight openings square and hopefully get it all bodyworked than paint

Please post another pic in this thread when you're done, I'd really enjoy seeing it!

(I actually kinda like the square headlights in the round openings, but I'm also a weirdo that appreciates utilitarian function-over-form projects)
