DV8 Offroad DJP190008BRUSH Billet Aluminum Grille Inserts in Brushed Aluminum for 07-18 Jeep Wrangler JK

Good look and fairly easy install. If you follow the instructions they stay in place.

Great, good look, better than any plastic grille insert.

Installed today after making sure I had time to backtrack and make adjustments in case I misaligned things. They went on smoothly with only a few 'learning experience" tweaks in my methods . . . I mounted each piece loosely with one upper screw to make sure alignment was good. . . . then added one lower screw . . . . Checked the brace alignment . . . made a couple of small adjustments and then added the second upper and lower screws.

These simple adjustments enabled me to align the braces easily so that everything was even and with a very professional appearance. The comments earlier that the braces "did not align" were good for me because it caused me to take extra time to flip the pieces and arrange the brace points carefully (apparently properly). Anyway it looks great!

My only disclaimer is that it is possible that I received an unusually well matched set of seven insert pieces. I believe this is unlikely however because I did have to pay attention when assigning insert location and orientation (top vs bottom).

I'll try to upload a photo, but these inserts went in quite easily and they look fantastic!

As an aside . . . I don't do much serious off-roading which may be the primary reason for installing this extra protection up front. My major objective in these first upgrade/additions to my Wrangler is to make it stubbornly robust and functionally sound for my family's needs. I haven't added any upgrades for pure appearance. Never-the-less this insert upgrade is far from just functional. The front end is really sweet now and I haven't even added a new bumper or winch yet.

Final notes . . .
- the small allen wrench screws and the rear braces appear too be steel. If the are not stainless steel we need to rustproof them. The inserts themselves are aluminum.
- In my 2017 Wrangler the grill is plastic. I suggest anyone keeps in mind that you are clamping a metal brace onto a plastic grill. This justifies the use of the small allen wrench screws, but it also means an installer should be very careful in tightening but not overly torquing each of the four the screws. The safest and best practice in such instances is to mount everything (all four screws for each insert) loosely, then go back and slowly tighten each inserts screws. Think in terms of the lugs nuts on a wheel . . . mount . . .firmly tighten . . . then torque . . . in this case three steps are justified (if you're grill is plastic anyway) but certainly there is no need of a torque wrench . . . just a firm pressure on all four screws for each insert.
