I’m not into that style but my newest son-in-law keeps telling me I need to buy one.
I’ll have to show him this.
Show him. But hooke road don't want to be labelled as only producing funny products.
We still have other bumper styles with grille guard! Thanks ahead. 🌹

As a designer myself, I would have moved away from the "Angry Bird" style overall and restyled the square fog lamps to blend in with the grill a little better. The window treatment looks too much like a stuck-on part rather than styled from the hood up and tie in with your grill. The good thing is that you can always re-design and improve it more, it's a good start, but just needs a little more style.

I do like the way the windshield framing ties in with the grille fascia
and also provides some shade.

The body color matching ones look professional.

It would be very helpful for commuting in Houston.

this thread reminds me of an old story about a flyer for guitar lessons...

Thank you for sharing.
We truly need people like you who can convey viewpoints in such an objective and professional manner!

It is interesting how so many hop on this thread just to poo-poo on their product. I get it, angry grills have a particular "group" that likes them. Funny thing though, you don't see the angry grill types bad mouthing the "normal" bumper types.

I would like the "angry" grill if it wasn't "angry" myself. If it had round headlight cutouts I think it would look way better but I won't badmouth anyone that likes this style and installs it.

It's not so much the Grumpy Grills that are the problem, but the demographic that seems to like them. Almost without exception they are people who have a vape mod permanently attached to their hand, talk about being an "alpha male", and tailgate/drive aggressively in traffic while never taking their Jeep off road.
Strangely, people who have to make everything look pissed off and aggressive tend to be pissy and agro the rest of the time.

I'm not opposed to people buying a Grumpy Grill for their vehicle, it makes it really easy to spot people I don't want to talk to.

Man this grill would make me the envy of my local jeep habitat. I can already imagine the jealous stares from other jeepers and their wives wondering if Iam a single man. Add led wheel lights for extra street cred and running lights all over the jeep. I'd be king stud on my block.

People with angry grills don’t complain about the stock bumpers because the stock new don’t look like hot garbage.

There really is a specific audience for this type of angry product, so we can probably design multiple versions of it.
Thank you for your kind words!
