Confused about satin black grill…

[Hoss]

I am wanting to change out my grill for the Mopar satin black one, but I am confused about what part(s?) I need. Can anyone who has added this to their build clarify for me?

is part #82216097 all that I need to order? Will that be everything that I need for this simple mod, and then I move my grill inserts to the new one? It looks like there are also some small trim pieces around the bottom sides?

Thanks for anyone who can clarify!

Heck, just paint your grill yourself. You can so it.

I did that with my JK, with plastidip. It didn’t hold up well enough to my liking.

i painted my daughters JL flat black came out really good i think

the satin black one requires your factory sides and bottom pieces,,,do you have a multiple piece grill or single piece one

Satin and flat black paint seem to be easier to paint with than gloss if you decide to tackle it yourself. If I didn't already have the willys black grill, I would paint mine. I do like the side pieces painted the body color much better. I can't comment on wrapping as I've never paid someone to do it.

I went with the Mopar grill, and before I knew there was a difference, I luckily ordered the right one. Do you have painted pieces on the lower left and lower right of the grill, or is it one piece as others have commented? There's a difference. I have an Overland, and swapped the silver trim pieces, into the Satin grill to retain a little silver. While you have it out, you may wish to consider if you want to add headlight guards, and pre-runner lights.

Maybe someone here can give me some advise. I bought what I thought was a "Satin" grille, but I think what I really bought was a "Paintable" version.

The JT has black paint, plastic fenders, and basic black hardtop. I just want the grille to match the plastic/trim, etc...

I bought it off MP so I can't return it. Should I just leave it alone and install it? Find a matching satin spray paint? Use a Satin Clear Coat? Nothing, and resell it and move on?

TIA
