Hear me out on this one... Don't grab the pitchforks just yet... Consider the original CJ2A grille. Iconic. Classic. I kinda like this color too. I know that it's common with the newer jeeps for people to add aftermarket "angry" grilles to their Jeeps, mostly with newer TJs and JKs and whatnot. But that styling just doesn't fit the flat fender Jeeps. See? It's just wrong... But... Has anyone thought to create something similar, except in a style that says "Grandpa Jeep is tired of your sh*t"? If I ever get my project driving, I thought it would be funny to park across from an angry Jeep with that front end pointed at them.

To be clear, when I got into MS paint and made those pictures, I had consumed a few frosty beverages...

MS paint was your first mistake not the beverage consumption!

If you really want a Jeep with the plastic mean minion look, get a new one and give me your CJ.

If you can't get there in a Jeep you don't need to be there!

The whole point was that I hate the mean/angry jeep look because it's stupid And I wanted to drive around passive aggressively judging people with the "tired of your sh*t" look.

IMHO that only adds to the insanity.
Imitation is the greatest form of flattery. Ignore and perhaps it will go away.

Half moon covers for 7" round headlights have been around since forever, you could just buy a pair and paint them?

Ah! I figured surely someone had made something like this at some point, but I didn't know what they were called. Thanks!
