Mtnluvr took a lot of chrome off of his. I think he got the dealer to do some of it When he bought his 08. You might PM him.

Hi everyone. I'm shopping around for a '10 KK and dealers in my area tend to have many more limiteds than sports. I hate chrome and just wanted to know, roughly speaking, how much it would cost to replace all the exterior chrome parts for the sport equivalents (e.g. front grill, chrome on the sides, chrome bar running across the back of the jeep, and anything else i might have missed). additionally, are the replacement parts people get usually OEM from Jeep or aftermarket? thanks! edit: i've found a mopar jeep parts website but it seems they want to "upsell" every part to chrome and not the other way around. |

Yeah, I wanted some of the interior features of the limited but didn't want all the chrome so when I ordered my '09 KK I negotiated a package deal with my dealer for a variety of dealer mods / parts which included items it sounds like you're interested in:
2 - Replace all chrome body side moldings with OEM Sport black ones for 75% of $366 MSRP = $275. 3 - Replace chrome rear brow above license plate with OEM Sport black one for 75% of $152 MSRP = $114. All prices listed above are parts and installation labor and I got all the original chrome OEM ones in the boxes the black Sport ones came in. Hope this helps. |

Keep us posted w the color I bet you could probably do swaps here, unless you get a good deal like Mtnluvr, then save the headache of taking it off your self. I have a modern blue because it is an 08, so I would not be able to trade the grille but everything else I could. If you can I say get at least the grille from the dealer cause it will be new and all the other parts can be easily swapped. |
