Thinking about changing frill... seen other threads and want an idea on if you think should leave the black stock one on with the car being black or if it would look ok with chrome? And then can I get maybe a verada one to fit the TJ as I am not handy enough for the DIY mesh job!
Ideas?

What colours go well with fire red? I'm working on a custom grill atm but not sure if chrome will suit the car.

yeah chrome definately for black, or even a satin silver finish if you dont want it too bling-bling :D
as for red, chrome can work in small amounts, otherwise gloss black looks tough!

with red either colour code it (best option) or i would hit small amounts of chrome with black or red highlights

I think you gotta press lightly coz they are screws that are put in by pushing down to click it... failing that... you have about 600 all over your car... OR
Snap em n try a good boot to the centre to fit "snuggly" in place

They should just pop out, try pushing them out from the bottom with your fingers.
Drill them out and buy a new pack its like 5 bucks for 20.
