The passenger side headlight bezel on my 2000 XJ is broken. If I replace it I will need to paint it to match as the front grille and bezels are red like the rest of the Jeep. My 97 that was totaled was gunmetal blue with a black grille and I liked it. Which do you prefer?

Don't listen to wayne. Paint it red. And while you have the spray paint out paint the hood, fenders, top and rear quarters to match too.

The Jeep is already Red..... should the grille remain red or be painted black.

A little Nicky G humor there. Personally I think it would be better red even though it will be tough to match

I think the grille looks better painted in the same red body color but it's a matter of personal taste. If you were the Rolling Stones you'd paint it black: :D

AHHh. I forgot the new jeep is red. In that case. Paint the whole thing green. Then paint it red.

I vote black. The red makes it look a little TOO color matched lol

Depends, who's driving it.

If your wife/girlfriend is driving it, by all means paint it red so it all matches.

If YOU are driving it, paint it black, and get it muddy. Then paint it black again.

definitely the black grill...
then maybe add hood vents in black as well, just to break up the space.
