Love my Outer Banks in almost every way EXCEPT the grill….

TRying to think of some ideas for ther grill (adding strips or,ofcourse, lighting) to the gaping holes in the front of my vehicle…. Before I spend 450-500 on a BL or WT grill…

Any other OBX owner have any ideas?

In all seriousness, I’ve seen some of those types of grills the BL and WT have online for a bit cheaper than buying factory. Think they come without the letters so you just swap yours on. Might save you a couple hundred bucks. I’m with you, I have BB and want to change the grill also, but lower on priority list for me.

I was just talking to a couple of badlands owners that were wanting to trade grills with the OBX folks but no one wanted to trade. I am sure there are others, maybe start a trade your grill thread

Let the ideas marinate for awhile. Personally I like to try using creative lighting. If I had your grill here is what I'd do: get the Oracle back-lit letters (yellow if you have the base headlights, white if you have signature). Then, put some backlighting behind the grill using a different color. Maybe the backlight color could complement the vehicle color in some way. In this way you are using the large openings of your grill to a creative advantage. Another idea might be to paint the grill a specific color and backlight it in such a way that will make the color "pop". Anyway, just some ideas....

Do you still have your Badlands grill? I'm interested. Where are you? I'm in Connecticut.

Thanks @Umichigan ! Good thoughts! I don’t tend to jump very fast on this stuff as I only like to do it once when I do make a change, but I really like the idea of accent lighting, and have been thinking about the ORacle lettering.
