Black kidney grille recommendations?

Djhumvee · 06-19-2022, 10:43 AM

I bought a dual slat black set off amazon a while back and it doesn't fully click into place. I'll be replacing the bumper soon and want to install a set that fits well, I noticed RW carbon has them, I'd imagine they'd have to fit well being from RW?

Just buy the OEM fat slats. Still best looking, in my opinion.

I was thinking that too.. Thought the dual slat looked kind of cool but I like the single fatter slat too, I almost feel like the dual slat gave it a cheaper look..

I went with OEM, they are reasonably priced.
