The first Grand Cherokee that I've ever seen with a five speed tranny. Welcome to the sickness.

IF you want to give it an updated look get yourself a headerpanel, grille, and front bumper cover from a 96-98. It is a direct swap and you will really be fooling peeps! You can do the same to the 96-98s with the early style front end parts.

Also, I would paint the cladding black, it would look 100x better!

You need the headerpanel, which is the black part behind the grille that the headlights and such mount to, the grille and the bumper cover.

Header Panel (this is what you need):

Change out the head lamps while you're at it. You'll be amazed at the difference in how much brighter the lights will be. www.rockauto.com has them for less than 40 bucks shipped to your door. They also have brand new header panels, grills, and bumper covers, but the shipping for those items will cost a bundle. I found ebay will have the same stuff with free shipping.

To add to this, if your going to get new headlamps might I suggest getting a wireharness upgrade also. You can get them from suvlights.com . They pull power directly from the battery instead of from the light switch which equals more light output! You will want the 9004/HB1 harness. Cost is 49.99 plus shipping. I ran one when I had the 9004s in. Really did help with the output.
