The Jeep Grand Cherokee has long been a favorite among SUV owners thanks to its mix of rugged capability, refined comfort, and unmistakable style. But for many enthusiasts, factory styling is just the starting point. One of the most popular upgrades is a blackout treatment, which replaces chrome and brightwork with sleek, dark finishes. The result is a Grand Cherokee that looks bolder, meaner, and more modern.

Why Black Out Your Grand Cherokee

A blackout package instantly transforms the appearance of your Jeep. By swapping shiny chrome for gloss black or matte finishes, you give the SUV a more aggressive stance. Beyond aesthetics, blacked-out trim and accessories hide wear better and give your Jeep a more cohesive look if you’re running aftermarket wheels or darker paint colors.

Key Components of a Blackout Upgrade

Grille Inserts and Trim

One of the most noticeable areas to customize is the front grille. Chrome rings can be replaced with black grille inserts that create a stealthier appearance. These inserts are designed to fit perfectly into the Grand Cherokee’s iconic seven-slot grille.

• Black Grill Rings 
• Black Step Pad Surround 
• Black Roof Side Rails
• Paintable Lower Front Bumper Molding 
• Black Textured Lower Front Bumper Molding (not paintable) 

Jeep Emblems and Badges

Nothing stands out on a blackout build like the emblems. Swap your factory chrome with black Jeep emblems for a subtle but impactful change. For the rear, you can finish the look with a black liftgate badge. Together, these updates remove the last hints of chrome and tie the blackout look together.

• "Jeep" on the Hood 
• "Jeep" on the Liftgate 
• "Grand" on the Door 
• "Cherokee" on the Door
• "4x4" on the Liftgate 

Light Trim and Bezels

The rear of the Grand Cherokee benefits from black taillamp bezels, which frame the lights in a darker finish. This complements tinted windows and balances the blackout theme from front to back.

Wheels

Blacked-out wheels are another essential piece of the puzzle. While there are many aftermarket options, Mopar blackout wheels give you the OEM fit and finish you can trust. These complete the aggressive stance and help your Jeep stand out on the street or the trail.

Real-World Benefits

Beyond style, blackout accessories are functional. Black trim hides fingerprints, water spots, and small scratches better than chrome. They also complement darker factory paint options like Granite Crystal or Diamond Black, helping the whole vehicle look more refined.

Jeep enthusiasts often find that a blackout package increases resale appeal as well, since it’s a sought-after look that buyers connect with premium trims like the Altitude or High Altitude editions.

Installation and Fitment

Most blackout accessories are designed as direct replacements for factory trim pieces, meaning no special modifications are required. Grille inserts, emblems, and taillight bezels are made to snap or stick into the same locations as the originals. Wheels bolt right on if you stick with factory sizes.

If you’re comfortable with basic tools and trim removal, you can complete a blackout build at home. For those who prefer professional results, body shops and Jeep dealers can handle the installation quickly.
