This is what I ordered. I chose it because the little grill slots came grey by default and at the time I ordered the mopar was backordered and grey was extra

They also have this one if you want the bottom chin under the main grill painted like i did, I think you’d be hard pressed to get a body shop to paint one for less

Thank you for letting me know. I greatly appreciate it. I had looked into their business before from some YouTube videos I saw. I just didn’t know if they did good quality paintwork. I also didn’t know they had an aftermarket version, I thought they only sold OEM parts. So yours is the aftermarket not the OEM then? If so I probably will just get the aftermarket and save some money on it.

It is the aftermarket and as best as I can tell its the same or close enough. Their paintwork is fine ive seen several of their parts on other people’s jeeps. If I wasn’t already getting the hood done and thus cutting some of the paint match cost, I would have ordered the mopar painted because I really wanted the lower part not to be black plastic and at least at the time they weren’t offering it on the aftermarket version, you’d have to ask if they can do it now.

Thank you and I think I’ll probably keep the black plastic portion unpainted. My reasoning is because I plan on running a Warn VR 10s or 12s winch in the factory metal bumper and don’t want the wiring that comes out the back to rub off the paint I rather it rub on that black plastic portion. Which is the main reason I am looking to swap it out, looks being the second reason.
