As you may know, this 2019 WK2 is my first Grand Cherokee after owning several Dodge cars. I’ve always been drawn to sportier vehicles, so buying a Grand Cherokee with a bunch of chrome on it wasn’t really part of the plan. However, I obviously did buy one, so now I’ve decided to de-chrome it. On this specific vehicle, the purple + small wheels + chrome was working against me to make it feel like an old lady car, and that just won’t do, so it’s time to fix that problem.
There aren’t many photos of Sangria WK2s out there so I had to photoshop it with gloss black pieces to imagine what it will look like. Basically, every piece of chrome on this vehicle is going to be black, save for the side window trim which I may or may not have wrapped at some point. I’m not super worried about that piece for now.

The first change is swapping 18” wheels for black 20” rims. I’ve ordered a new set of gloss black Durango R/T wheels and Jeep center caps. I liked the design of this wheel better than Jeep’s Altitude wheel.
Same wheel as this:

I ordered from Mopar through our parts department because I was having trouble finding these anywhere else online. The wheels, center caps, and locking lugs should be here today or tomorrow but the tires are going to take a day or two longer to arrive. I’ll probably have the wheels put on at the beginning of next week because even if it all arrives tomorrow, it’s going to be raining this weekend so it would just get dirty immediately.
The next step is body-color mirror caps and door handles. I’ve ordered unpainted door handles and pre-painted gloss black mirror caps, but I’m going to have all of that painted in Sangria because I don’t think black would look right on it. That may be a few weeks down the road depending on how long the parts take to arrive.
I‘ll keep this thread updated with the modifications I make. Why let the Wrangler owners have all the fun with modifications, right?
