If it isn’t horribly bent up would spray painting yours so that doesn’t rust away and cover with an overlay be an option. Recently removed the OEM chrome overlay from my 2005. Nothing wrong with it, just like look better without it. Certain we could work out better deal than the $300 they sell for on eBay.
I hit a deer and dented my grille. Can I just put an angry bird grille over it?

- angry eyes deer grille
It's like on of those thing the trains back in the olden days had on the front for clearing stuff of the tracks. Maybe will work for the next deer.

The "angry" grill is the worst thing to ever happen to Jeep other than the current owners of the brand.
Well the answer is two part...yes you can put one of those on it, no, it won't look better if you do.
Love the offer! But I'm looking for a more immediate solution. Thanks for offering constructive comments!
My dad dropped a piece of wood on my Jeep in 2009 and dented the hood. If I ever decide to replace my failing paint, that dent is staying no matter how much other body work is hitting the Jeep. I’d run that smooshed grill without a second thought. You don’t own a Porsche.
OP, I think most people missed the point that you're selling it and "Character" dents drop the value a lot. After selling 18 of my Jeeps, I understand where you're coming from.
p.s. Make it look as good as possible before you list it. I covered my hood dent with tire tracks. I sold mine for $14,000 and nobody even tried to talk me down on the price or mentioned the dent. I'm so glad I got
it back now.

When I have shopped for jeeps in the past, i won’t even look at an add of a Jeep with an angry grill. It’s screams cheap and makes me wonder what other shortcuts was made.
How hard is it to remove the chrome? I'm not a fan either, but didn't know it was an option to remove.
Total of 4 push pins 2 on top 2 on bottom. Have to remove headlight bezels.
I did it just to see what the paint looked like underneath, had it off for a week then put it back on.
Not really difficult at all. I did find some chips and minor surface rust behind it so be prepared for that.
I'm the opposite. When I see that grille or chrome twin tube bumpers, I'm in! It's a sure way to tell it's never been offroad or abused. I avoid any Jeep with pics showing how capable it is climbing rocks or going through mud pits. Then I know they've been abused and just cleaned up to sell. Been there, done that. Never again.
They did! I love that idea! Thanks!OP, I think most people missed the point that you're selling it and "Character" dents drop the value a lot. After selling 18 of my Jeeps, I understand where you're coming from.

I bought mine with a few minor grille dents, after 2 years I just got the first question about them from another guy admiring the Jeep. Didn’t phase him now, or me then.
A bent and scraped grill with decomposing deer entrails slobbered everywhere is more appealing than the angry bird grill.
