China + SEMA 2018 = More Stupid JK Grilles

[Chris]

With as emotional and reactive as people are today due to social media, I guess the Chinese figured they'd wait until SEMA 2018 to unleash their latest "expressive" JK grille.

Prepare to throw up a little in your mouth...

Ill be honest. I do like the look of the 3D fenders

 

[Chris]

Well yeah, you can't have a cool grille like that without battle armor fenders :risas3:

they make it so easy to hate on JKs with this sort of crap..... having owned a CJ in my past i never thought the day would come where i would see something like this on a jeep!!

I still think the best looking Jeeps are the Jeeps that look like Jeeps...

Still, at least this isn't dripping with as much teen angst and desperate machismo as most angry grills. But the samurai look just doesn't fit a car that's been such a staple of the American auto industry.

I feel like those will really catch on with some of the JKs I've seen around town..

Couldn't agree more.

In my mind (and I think most here will agree), the best thing is a Jeep that looks like a Jeep, especially the Wrangler, being as iconic as it is.

Those fenders have reactive armor? Hate to be rear ended by that.

Come on @Chris ! It's Halloween so why not dress up the JK like good ole Dracula!

WTF! Is that supposed to be a Catwoman? Hope this thing doesn't reproduce.

What was the point of the solid rods running from the top of the window to the hood?
They take away from the look. (Even if it was already bad).

They would only work under tension not compression.

They're supposed to lift brush an branches up and over your roof easier.

Those are actually limb risers, designed to give low-hanging tree branches and whatnot something to ride up and out of the way, instead of smacking your windshield. And they're actually cables, not rods. Like that thing will ever see anything but a mall parking lot...

These ridiculous grills are nothing new. Here's one from 1986...

Maximum Overdrive. Great soundtrack, as I recall. Silly-ass movie, but entertaining.
