  Great look, tough fit

  Grille Insert looks great, but fit seemed off a bit.

  Looks great, easy to install

  Installed in about 20 mins. Looks great! Instructions were easy to follow. Drill 4 holes. There's 2 braces and test them to determine best placement before bolting in. We found the curve of 1 worked better on the left and the other on the right.

  not as good as I had hoped

  The fit is not as good as it can be....1 the grill separations do NOT line up and the ends are left uncovered. Also the bend is too much, (the grill on the front of the jeep is straighter) and when I went to straighten it, it would not form...sprang back to original bent shape. Protection remains to be seen. but it looks pretty good

  Stainless steel wire mesh insert

  The stainless steel insert is not fitted well for the 2017 Wrangler JK. Mounting bars will not secure the insert. Tight as you can reasonably get them they still allow the grill insert to move with minimal effort. (We all know what will occurs with vibration from the road and wind). Requires some additional mounting material to ensure a secure fix. Takes about three hours to install the first time.

  Rugged Ridge Stainless Steel Grille Insert

  The product looks great, but it does not come ready to install. My husband is very handy (welder, mechanic, etc.), but it took him 3 hours to get this insert to properly fit our 2017 Jeep. He had to bend, trim it, etc. to get it to align properly and the mounting accessories provided are not very secure.

  Great product

  I was concerned about rocks hitting my radiator. I bought this besides protecting the radiator it really makes my jeep standout. Jim

  Not as advertised.

  The attractive part which led me to purchase this item was the "no tools needed, clips right in" but yet when it arrived last night, the first thing i noticed was the bag of screws. I opened the directions and it said i need a drill and a screw driver. You shouldn't advertise there are no tools require if that's clearly not the case. And my directions had "black grille insert" written on the front page when i ordered the stainless steel chrome one. Luckily i did receive the chrome grille. And finally, i received a request to review the item the day after i ordered it. I'm glad i waited until i received the item. I won't be able to install it until the weekend, so i can't rate it for installation or anything but your company insists i review within 7 days of receiving the email. I did appreciate the bag i received with the grille insert though. I hope you amend the description of this grille regarding the installation process. Even as i write this, the description of the product is hovering above taunting me.
