My custom TJ grille is finally completed!
Here's a pic!
Alot of work but you can easily remove the mesh and its not the cheap tacky stuff from supercheap either.
I finished it off with my body colour to give it that extra touch of blacked out!
I can do these grille's for anyone but it is costly but may not cost as much as a ralliart grille so if you can pick up a ralliart grille for a good price,go for it but if you want something unique,let me know!
Cheers!

i like.

just a thought, is it possible to mount the mesh further forward in the grill? you know wat i mean? so it isnt so recessed in the bonnet

I think black with eyelids, and chrome without eyelids... The tinted headlights are just screaming defect tbh I'd be taking them off...

Nice one. That looks much better than the KJ chrome grilles! (let alone the tacky chrome strip grilles)

Yea im not a fan of the headlight covers... reminds me of things commodore drivers do to their cars, like a VN I was behind today painted in a rubbish orange with taillights so blacked out I could bearly tell he was braking or indicating till I was right up behind him and also had HSV cut into his boot with was seems to be an angle grinder. Its not often you can accurately guess someones IQ by their vehicle....

haha, that was specifically targeted at Life but yeah, always been curious.... Seen some Chevy utes with blacked out light covers

Did the light cover mod ages ago but then people started to take it in so realistically it makes my mod look shotty due to people doing it to the wrong cars!
Thanks to those who gave personal opinions on my grille,its very hard to pic the right combination but i may even build another one if i get a chance and do something a little different or do a reverse style one of what i have now.
