Faux Rebel Front grill on Bighorn

[Mendiesel]

This post is for anyone else interested in the faux Rebel grills posted all over ebay (https://www.ebay.com/itm/164333102282). I was unable to find pictures of these installed before I purchased so hopefully this post helps someone else shopping these.

Pictures below include before, after, and with lights on.

I didn't want to have the grill lights on every time I had my headlights on so I wired them to my fogs.

I had a hard time taking clear pictures with the sun in the background. I'll take better ones later today.

Also I forgot to add on my original post, the ebay ad I purchased my grill from no longer exists. The link I have on my original post is a different ad which appears to be for a gloss black version.

I was thinking about that as well. Maybe get this little bad boy and small router and go at it lol. At least dome of them do it doesnt look like straight cut.

Thanks for posting your pics. I love the look of the Rebel front end, but that grille doesn't look good to me. I think I'll pass on it after seeing what it looks like on installed.

More pictures attached, this time with the bumper and lip above the headlights wrapped black.

That makes a huge difference. Much better look.

Any reason why this wouldn't work on the limited, guys?

Isn't the Limited front grill a different shape than the Bighorn/ Laramie/Tradesman?

Yes, the Limited and Longhorn grilles are shaped a little differently because the shape of the headlights is also different. A small section sticks out from each side of those grilles. Here's a pic showing all the grilles...
