I have a Sport S and ordered the grille from AllMoparParts. I’m not sure either grille includes the mesh inserts. But maybe the second one includes the plastic inserts? When I ordered my grille, it did not come with the trim rings, and Sport/Sport S models do not include that. Additionally the grille mesh on a Sport S won’t work on these grilles, and had to order the mesh as well. I ordered the first one and the trim kit for the outside of the grille as well.

I did the plasti dip route initially, but I didn’t find it to be all that durable. My biggest issue was it was nearly impossible to clean it after taking it off-road. No matter how hard I washed it, it always looked brown-ish black.

This Grill Without the trim rings should allow more air for the Diesel!

So the third option grill, the sport one that is 1 piece comes Primed not painted. Can we get away without painting it and just installing as is?

Well I don think the plastic will hold up well against the elements also where the hood line meets may look a bit funny because the molding is supposed to be painted to match.

To clarify this is the grille your talking about correct ?

For further clarification, if you have a Sport or Sport S, your grille and the trim are all one piece so you have to order the trim kit as well!
Rubicons and others, you can take the trim off and put it on the grille replacement. I would recommend taking your grille off to see the trim is removable for any model just to be sure.
Here is the trim kit in black, as @The Bean showed in their Red Gladdy pics above.

I want a little different look and have my trim match the body color so I found this youtube video where RobMotiveJT had them color matched and installs them on the replacement grille.



He says in the comments the color matching (using the paint code from your vehicle door info sheet) can cost from $150-$225 for a dealer to do. I am thinking about doing it myself or exploring cheaper options. I will post pictures when I actually get this completed.

3 piece Grill vs 1 piece. Overland, Mojave and Rubicon have three piece grill. I had to disassemble mine to have the inner grill removed and taken to get painted red. The inner grill is one piece and includes the headlight rings.
