Best grille inserts according to redditors

I did the same thing. Got a cheap set of these from Amazon, they look nice on my black jeep but idk if you're going for a green and black combo

> would putting a tarp over your car do any kind of protection?

Probably not unless it was a padded tarp or you left a gap between the tarp and car.

At least it isn't one of these bad boys.

Holy shit those grilles are expensive. I'm assuming they're made of ABS? You can find similar ones on amazon/ebay for just around $100 also made of ABS. Even T-Rex has a similar one made of powder coated mild steel for less than yours at $400 that requires TIG welding.

I found them on amazon for $20. These ones just clip right in, no adhesive or anything. Some of them didn't clip in as easy as others, but for $20 I can't complain. Wouldn't recommend going through a no touch car wash though. But so far they haven't caused an issue. :)

I could not stand the big hole in my lower bumper and I bought this, I was afraid of road debris damaging my transmission cooler and radiator. I think it comes in black.

Definitely takes a lot of patience to get them on straight. Very sticky, so it takes a strong pull to get them off to realign, but very possible. They give a ton of extra tape.

I had some difficulty getting the bumper, but once I did it wasn't too bad.

It’s cheaper on Amazon. I just picked up one myself. Seems like a better solution to keep crap out at the gates.

I hate to seem like an advertising dick hole, but here are the links to the safari top and chrome grille inserts incase you ever decide on buying them!

For some reason Amazon advertises the TJ net (I used the TJ net on my YJ, but it worked out great) as a JK. It really confused me at first, but that's the correct model number. Not too bad for $150!

Here's the current progress. So far I've got a rebuilt 700r4 on the bottom, touched up the chrome need more paint for the body, cleaned up the interior as the stock cluster was about 25% working and 75% melted I went with iEquus for gauges. The engine is going to be pulled and I've got another 350 SBC to work with. Friend suggested rocker roller cams and I'm going to agree. Most of what has been done is for looks. I do have more changes to make such as a [chrome grill] (https://www.amazon.com/Stainless-Billet-Custome-1981-87-Suburban/dp/B010178RTC/ref=sr_1_3?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1521234153&sr=1-3&keywords=grill+chevy) and painting the engine bay, rewiring the harness and some engine enamel to go with the hose candy.

I wasn't a huge fan of the honeycomb. Does it have to be honeycomb to find a decent black aftermarket grille? I saw this guy:

Which seemed interesting. I would be ok with keeping the chrome shell, which would echo the chrome that goes all around the side windows. It says chrome pieces have to removed, but not much else about how it attaches.

They are most likely these...I was originally going to do this DIY method, instead I got these, and the gutter guard from Home Depot. Cut the gutter guard to fit the back of the inserts, painted it flat black, and epoxied the mesh to the inserts(top and bottom), shown here. Extremely happy with how it looks!
