Reviews for DV8 Offroad D-JP-190010-BK Black Mesh Grille Inserts for 07-18 Jeep Wrangler JK
Good looking part
This is an outstanding purchase, I went from the plastic press in inserts that did protect my radiator from a flying semi truck tire to the DV8 Off-road black mesh grill on the advice from a Jeep service center representative. I had some overheating issues and he felt the plastic inserts retained a higher percentage of heat. In all my daughter is surprised with the clean esthetic and strength of the grille insert. A must have for JK owners.
Quality
Fit like a glove.
Very easy to install. I just took the grill off, popped it on and put the grill back on. Looks rather nice also. Box came in damaged, but that is due to Fed Ex. I hate em. It is my only complaint. Should think if switching shipping companys.
Installed for two years on my JK. I have not had any issues. It looks great. Install took less than 30 minutes.
Look.
I really like the look and the ease of installation (less than 10 minutes). My only issue is that, like others mentioned, the paint coat is rather poor.
I hit the grille insert with a few coats of rubberized paint and let it cure prior to installing the insert. Hoping that helps with the rust issues others have mentioned.
the grill came in a previously opened box. Not by dv8 but by the company that bought them out. Fitment is not great. The install is simple but I was hoping the fitment would be better for the money. Still looks pretty good but was a struggle to get lined up and in place. They don't give any directions with it not that it's too hard to figure out.
Looks great. The problem I had was I bought a black one and I have had to touch it up continually. I would have sent it back if I knew this. Paint job is poor.
