Budget Billet Grill

[06Liberty]

Ya'll might have already figured this out, but I saw someone on cardomain that had done this and tried it myself. Not a bad deal for 10 bucks! All it is is chrome door edge gaurds from wal-mart.
Yeah, I just found another topic that said somthing about this....oh well

I like it! Looks really nice!!

 

[liberator]

nice

I like it too..

did u glue it or just slide it on? =D> =D>

 

[desertkj]

That does look good. If I hadnt already bought the Westin Brush Guard, I would seriously consider doing that.

I like the way that looks on your KJ.

Mine is a limited with the chrome grill so there wouldn't be as much contrast.

That actually looks much better than what they sell on ebay, they look crooked. This looks really good. I wouldn't mind getting that, what was it exactly and how did you mount them?

 

[06Liberty]

well, thanks for the compliments. ok, here's what I did....i went to wal-mart and bought 4 packs of chrome door edge guards, then cut em into 21 8" pieces ( I had a few left over), then just press em on. They stick on themselves without glue or anything cause they've got the adhesive already on there. \/

 

[hyde]

got any part No or brand?
I wonder if they will know what I am talking about..

 

[Dave]

06liberty.....that sounds real easy. I might try it and see how it looks with my chrome grill......thanks for the info.

 

[06Liberty]

Actually, I don't have a part number, but they'd have the same stuff at any auto parts store. They're like $3 a pack and each pack came with 2 pieces. (each piece is about 24" in length) Or, you can get it in a roll too....either way, it takes 21 pieces cut 8" in length.

I like it! I've thought about doing that several times, but thought I'd screw it up somehow.

 

[hyde]

I think with those non-stick ones, it is hard to screw up.
I went and got two set of these, and stuck them on. The problem was I cut them a bit longer, but they still held up well. Since they come in a round shape it is difficult to cut them all at the same length. You did very good with the even-length and leaving space to the top and bottom.

i did this today to my liberty i cut 1 at 8" and did a test fit....i didnt like the way 8" looked....it looked way to short so i cut all mine at @ 9"1/2

 

[hyde]

I went long. Pic coming in an hour.

 

[desertkj]

Are they secure? I'm seriously considering taking off the brush guard for awhile and going for that look.

LOL...anyway, yeah they're secure on mine so far. I mean, if you mess with em too much they'll probably move a little but I've just tried to be carefull.

 

[xxdazxx]

[hyde]

Happy? :-s

O

mine are not the ones with glue but has the sticky mucus-like stuff inside, they do not stick permenently, it is like those mailers you get or where they stick your credit cards to, that clear stuff..

 

[06Liberty]

Yeah that looks good too! I just did mine the same way I saw it on cardomain, I didn't think about doing them longer. I think it looks good either way though.
