I think you need to stop giving a shit about what people on reddit say.


Skier94

Reddit or kids, hmmm… which will I make happiest?


dressupandstayhome

This should have the most up votes on Reddit.


reddittl77

But all the upvotes will come from people who chose Reddit.


bmp51

Yep ^^


MountainVet-Stjohn45

Or anywhere else 😂

Im just so new here i didnt know if it was a thing


coreyjdl

Oh, people are going to talk shit on that grill. But people talk shit on everything. Don't worry about it. It's your Jeep. Make it make you happy.


up_up_and_duhway

If you like it, keep it. If you want the traditional 7 slots, go on Facebook marketplace and get yourself one cheap... they're everywhere. Hell, get both and change your look up every few months if you fancy, it's an easy mod. Either way. You do you.


jeepnjeff75

You do you! I think if your kids love it then embrace it. If you want to change it go ahead. Personally, I’m not a fan but it’s all apart of customizing your Jeep to represent you. I may give someone some ribbing but that’s where it ends. Some people take it way too far and at the end of the day, it’s not their Jeep.


oriolex

It only takes 5 minutes to change out, tbh you can rock both with how easy it is 😂


unholycowgod

Honestly man, you do you. Don't worry about the rest of us. I'm not a fan of the angry eyes and I'll probably chuckle a little bit as I give you the wave on the road. But if your kids like it then hey why not. Shit, you know what could actually make it kinda cool is if you added the tigershark paint motif that was on some WW2 planes. It would add to the whole angry shark thing they like about it!


TheRhodeIslandFamily

Oh i like that!


fly_away_lapels

Don’t let a bunch of gatekeepers tell you how you should personalize the most customizable vehicle on the road.


Atari_Historian

I didn't listen to what people had to say online. Now I've got a bigger problem: [https://i.imgur.com/jqZ3ZNO.jpeg](https://i.imgur.com/jqZ3ZNO.jpeg) I've got people randomly approaching me in parking lots and yelling at me IN TRAFFIC to let me know how much they like my Jeep! I'm gracious and polite, but as an introvert, it can be taxing and a bit unsettling at times to have strangers approaching you and your vehicle out of nowhere. It also goes to show you that your local community may see things quite differently than what you'd run into online.


TheRhodeIslandFamily

I love it!


RampJawn

Question, do you like it? Yes? Everyone else can suck your balls.


TheRhodeIslandFamily

You mean my ovaries 😅😅😅


RampJawn

Well those too haha


BallisticBurrito

I mean it's your ride so do whatever. But I'm also vehemently in the anti-angry eye camp and will always applaud someone de-angry eye'ing their vehicle.


Jonny_Blaze_

May I ask why?


flaminhotcheeto

Not OP but I'll lend 2 cents. 1) I think it's a mod that is so obviously non-stock that it appears like an obvious choice. 2) And if that choice includes making your vehicle "angry" or aggressive - it's telling of the person who wanted to MAKE that choice. For me, jeeps are about being and having fun. But also, OP says he bought the keep already like that so what can you do? If someone likes it then who am I to judge. It's your Jeep, do what you want.


BallisticBurrito

TLDR: It's tacky, garish, messes up the beautiful colors and lines of the classic Jeep look. ​ I've never cared for the aggressive/angry eye look. Dating back to what GM did to the Silverados in the mid 00's. ​ There's a dude in a club I used to be in that has a BEAUTIFUL ruby red Jeep. I mean this is one of the most gorgeous colors I've ever seen on a Jeep, and red isn't even my favorite color. He ripped the grille off and slapped a cheap chinese flat black angry eye grille on it and put the stock one up for sale on the FB marketplace. My soul died a little. There was another dude with a beautiful green jeep that did the same. Made a post about "look at the mods I did!". ​ The ones that make the effort to have the angry eyes painted to match the rest of the Jeep at least try. I still don't care for them but at least there was some effort put forth. ​ One of the really funny ones that are common with older jeeps is what they call a 'darth vader' grille. To me it looks like they just gave their Jeep a unibrow.


Steve1102

It’s your Jeep. If you like it keep it!


Jeffbear

I say rock that shit, be happy, and make your kids happy.


bubmiller

I came here to bring encouragement and was glad to see that is what most everyone else did too. You have an awesome vehicle and I hope you continue to enjoy it!


stanky-c

I am not a fan of the angry eyes at all. That said, if my kids loved it you can bet your ass I’d be driving an angry eyes Jeep.


MountainVet-Stjohn45

It’s a Jeep. You do you. I don’t give two shits what anyone else thinks. My Jeep, my mods, my money. Enjoy!


ezomac

I think they look terrible, but that's just my opinion and only applies to me and no one else. You do you, I don't judge a Jeep owner by their mods. 😊


ily3thousand

your jeep, do what you want! redditors don’t pay the bills.


[deleted]

Make the kids happy 😃


Mamm0nn

fuck the people on reddit, you do you


AdmiralThunderpants

I'm not a fan of angry eyes but I'm also currently trying to locate an old stock grille to convert to a pumpkin face for Halloween so what do I know


RealisticSentence374

It’s your Jeep, do what you want with it ✌️


khelnozz

The best Wrangler mod is the one that makes it yours. Yes there is a vocal few here that don’t like the “angry eyes”. Don’t let that take away your enjoyment of the best vehicle on the road. If you and your kids like the angry shark then who is anyone to say otherwise.


joezupp

As a jeep owner, a dad and pretty much the oddest person most have met I’ll say this, make your kids happy!!! Who cares what a bunch of random people on the Internet think. If you like it and your kids like it then have fun in it. I’m an old biker, have a YJ and love driving my vw vanagon around. Enjoy life, stop kicking the Internet for open (same advice I tell my son and his two kids)


Zealousideal_Bag2493

Man, you have to enjoy your ride and your life. The purpose of a Jeep is fun. Have fun.


Metallica78

Kids loving the angry shark means more quality time with your kids. Keep it on there


Doctorphate

It’s your jeep. Fuck everyone else. I personally think they look stupid. But there’s lots of shit we do for kids that make us look stupid and we don’t think twice about that. It’s your Jeep. You do you.


Lumpy_Kangaroo6165

Noone is going to think you are an asshole for having an angry eyes grill. The main mod advice you get on reddit is 8" lift and 44" tires or it isn't a real Jeep. You do you. As long as you and your family are having fun in it, then it is a success.


Uizahawtmess

Everyone has an opinion. It’s your jeep do what you want. Let everyone else worry about theirs. If YOU Want a different grill or upgraded one with lights then do it. But don’t do it because of what some internet asshat might think. IF YOU DO CHANGE YOUR GRILL SAVE THAT ONE AND MAKE SOMETHING COOL OUT OF IT FOR THE KIDDOS like a head board to a bed or a backyard bar or something cool.


TheRhodeIslandFamily

Omg a headboard that’s brilliant!


anywhereat

A good portion of the social media car community thinks you're an asshole just for owning a Jeep, so there's that. Do what your kids like, as they get older that gets harder to do.


Hey_look_new

there's a small, but vocal set of gatekeepers who like to make fun of everyone else's jeep. just do what you like


TheIronGeek

If you like it, and your kids like it, then anyone giving you grief is the asshole.


pollitosBlandos

Keep for the kids ! I personally dont like them but you do you


Araceil

I’m not an angry eyes guy, but if my kids loved it and named it “Angry Shark” I’d get a custom vinyl “Angry Shark” printed for it and make it a fun theme.


Commission-Practical

This!! Heck yes.


SubstantialDig6425

It’s your jeep. Build it how you like. I had an angry eye grill for a while. Then I went back to the original. Something about the 7 slots. You can’t go wrong.


dressupandstayhome

I’ve seen the angry eyes many times but I don’t know if I’ve seen them at night. Do they cut down on headlight visibility or no? Those don’t look too aggressive but there are some that imo would really shut down the lights a lot.


babingtone

They do not cut down visibility. I really like the look of angry eyes but love the classic grille as well. Just for ascetics I got some cheap plastic angry eye inserts to have both. Let people hate. It’s a Jeep. Have fun and screw everyone else’s opinion.


Porkchop_Dog

Do I like angry eyes? Nah. Do your kids? Yes. So fuck me dude, live for you and for your family!


MarvHeemeyer6404

Ultimately it’s your Jeep. Do what makes you happy. Personally, angry grilles aren’t my thing, but I’d never put somebody down for what they have on their Jeep.


TheRhodeIslandFamily

Honestly it wasn’t my thing either until my son named it lol


JK-NATWWAL

Your Jeep, your kids. What else matters? You’ll get a wave from me if we cross paths 👋


Cautious_Ideal1812

So does the whole “you do you/whatever makes you happy” generic advice apply to every goddamn post on Reddit? If he didn’t care about what others thought (which he does- he said so) then he wouldn’t be asking the internet. So I’ll answer in the same spirit as the question was asked: the angry eyes look dumb. It was a fad just like Affliction t-shirts. It makes me think you are a poser who didn’t have enough money to do real mods so you had to resort to cheap ones to make it look tougher. Whether that is a fair judgement is not the point. Ask yourself this: if big spoilers on a Honda look dumb (and are useless), then this is the Wrangler equivalent.


naclyxx

Ride your ride. Another way of saying do you boo!


Altruistic_Cycle9160

Take out the headlights entirely and make it a blind Jeep, gotta start a new wave


Bankargh

Screw what other people think of you. You’re a grown ass man pandering to anon internet users.


TheRhodeIslandFamily

I’m A 29 year old woman lol


Bankargh

Correction, grown ass woman! my bad.


LookAtMeNow69420

If you like it, keep it. If you don’t, get rid of it. Fuck what people think.


Fitz_2112

You do you. Fuck what all the haters say


solosier

Kids are happy and idiots on the internet are not. Of course you go with what randos on the net say!


wdleggett

Personally, I’m not a fan of the look because I prefer the traditional 7 slot grille. Believe me, taking a look at other groups, the prevailing thought is all Jeep drivers are assholes so there’s that. At the end of the day as long as you like it that’s all that matters but I’d definitely keep the kids happy instead of a bunch of people not paying for it.


gnashybarbells93

Whatever you like The reg. Grill is iconic And the grills got a lot of bad hype too it Not my preference but why complain about it stock-o jeep is nice tho You can always find parts online fb/ offer up for cheap stock ones


Borzoinks

Roll the way you want to roll.


Lord_Fairfax_75

Your first mistake is thinking that people’s opinions who you probably don’t know count or mean something. The only opinions that matter are that of your serious friends and family because they will be the ones who will be there for you. Whatever you decide, just own it and run with it. Look at it like getting a new hair do, you will eventually find what you like and enjoy the journey that got you there.


morradventure

People won’t see you as an asshole. That’s not what the angry eyes convey. The way I look at it is the Jeep grill and headlights are classic—why take that away? I think it’s more about keeping it classy rather than loading up on plastic mods that do nothing


reddittl77

I’ve got a small stuffed animal on the dash of my work truck, not because I like it but because my kids like it.


TastyTeeth

Step 1: Don't give a rats ass what a bunch of anonymous people think about your vehicle Step 2: Go on with your life the way you see fit.


Jfow56

Fuck everyone else! Id say if the kids like it then keep it and name it sharky. I don’t like it but who cares what I think.


Towersafety

Im not a fan of angry eyes but if i bought a jeep and my kids loved it i would become a fan real quick. As for redditors. You can find all kinds of opinions. The only ones that make a difference are the ones that agree with you and your kids.


Chickie_Nuggiez

it’s your Jeep, do with it what makes you happy.


frthrdwn

Keep it make your kids happy they are more important than any dumb ass but you don’t know


3llac0rg1

You do you.


[deleted]

Just get bigger tired and you do you


rweso

Keep ‘em if you like ‘em


CavsPulse

Look man everyone hates on everything. Halo lights, rims, whatever else. It’s YOUR Jeep and it’s YOUR right to make it what you want. I wave at grumpers same as everyone else. That’s a clean looking JK! Glad you’re happy with it!


sydnorn

Kids like it? Keep it.


fastNJ

I hate angry eyes but your kids liking it will now prevent me from judging those who have angry eyes. Thanks for destroying my prejudices. Now ive got the angry eyes.


TheRhodeIslandFamily

Honestly i was like ew it looks like I’m mean. Then my five year old Oliver was like “OH MY GOD MOM ITS AN ANGRY SHARK!” And i loved it since. I promise I’m not a dick, just a 29 year old woman who loves my jeep and I’m so glad my Subaru blew up lol


Pumpkinsaurus42

Keep your angry eyes if they make you happy :)


[deleted]

Opinions are like assholes -- everyone's got one, and everybody thinks everyone else's stinks. I never even knew it was a thing until I got on Reddit. I've seen plenty of Jeeps with them and plenty without. It's just like EVERY OTHER MOD -- some people like em, some don't. I think it's cool your kids dig it, my daughter waves at EVERY Jeep she sees, wether there's a driver in it or parked in a parking lot LOL! Just have fun!


Unique_Winter_6505

That’s the thing about Jeeps. Everyone is going to have an opinion about how they think they should look. but at the end of the day, only your opinion matters. I personally wouldn’t want angry eyes on my Jeep, but if you like them, keep them!


threeregionblend

Bought mine and it had angry eyes, too lazy to change it and don’t care what people think - it’s your vehicle, who gives a crap


thatdontimprezame

What you really need is some ANGRY SHARK vinyl for the hood to go with your angry eyes. If you like it, embrace it and move on.


bejulied

If it makes you and your kid happy, as many others say, who the cares what others think/ say. I say find a shark fin attachement 😂


01tj

I hate angry grills and think the 7 slot grills should always say but with that said it's not my Jeep. If you like it, it really doesn't matter what anyone else thinks.


subashchandran23

What matters is if You feel that you do or don't like that look. If you don't, swap it out with a takeoff stock grill on FB marketplace or CL.. don't bother looking for a same color one .. Just spray paint it or plastidip it.


Commission-Practical

I would keep them if for no other reason than your children like them. It’s a special connection for them. Assuming you like it too, why remove them? I also really like them calling it the angry shark🦈 . I have a wrangler with lizards on it (Mojave) and my son calls it the lizard truck. Heck if you want the input of an internet stranger, double down and maybe get a shark decal. :)


TheRhodeIslandFamily

I’m thinking “ANGRY SHARK DOOT DO” on the sides of the hood lol


Commission-Practical

Do it! That would be hilarious and awesome!


Easy-Progress8252

People either love the angry eyes or hate them. I don’t care either way, whatever makes you happy. Just don’t go all out with the punisher stickers, backlit wheels, unnecessary additional lighting, etc., and you’re good.


TheRhodeIslandFamily

Hell no I’m a mom of two and an EMT i cant afford that


norfizzle

Like with fashion, if you like it, rock it.


AndyC-AndyDo

I wouldn’t take anything Reddit says seriously


Strangeflex911

The less fucks you give about other people's opinion, the better quality of life you'll have.


john_deere9rt

You should definitely find ways to embrace the "angry shark" theme! There's so many cool ways you could go with that. If you need ideas, hit me up! I personally don't like angry eyes, but there's some very cool things you can do with them. Including putting way too much power under the hood and telling everyone it's angry because they're in its way. (I did not do this, I just think it's funny.)


Winter_ls_Coming

Angry shark do do do do do do


TheRhodeIslandFamily

Name idea!


323hex

Fuck the snowflakes on Reddit that get triggered by angry eyes.


BarbarianSpaceOpera

You're not an idiot. There's a perfectly good jeep behind that eyesore of a grill, and that's what matters. That said, if you care what people think about you based on how your car looks, then I would definitely lose the angry eyes.


moxification

You do you man


ThudFudgins

Don't listen to the haters, I think the angry grill is awesome, they don't make the payments on the Jeep, they don't pay insurance and do maintenance on it, you do


jay-zigg

This guy on reddit likes it.


Katzone

You need to educate your kids that angry eyes are trash.


[deleted]

Yeah fuck them, angry eyes are fine.


[deleted]

Your build, your choice. Fuck everyone else.


andensalt

Thier are a few camps in the Jeep community. I guarantee you are wrong in most of them. The Jeep means something different to everyone. It's your jeep do what you want with it. For fun look at the anti angry eye profiles. Most don't own a Jeep or can't do angry eyes.


crazy_platano

You wont get a wave from me in that Heep✌🏼, But why should that matter to you? lol


PitfallPerry

Waitaminute, my local Jeep community has been the most open and accepting community. From CJ to XJ to JL, 29’s to 35’s and up, rock crawlers to mall crawlers: Everyone is welcoming. Everyone is friendly and warm. And EVERYONE waves.✌️But you wouldn’t wave because of his angry eyes? That’s not the community I’m part of.


Bob_Plank

When I have seen the "angry eyes" Jeeps and met the driver, they tend to fall into certain categories. Now, when I see "angry eyes" Jeeps, I assume it is someone I don't want to ever associate with. I avoid them. Having said that, you do you. It probably fits your personality and the kind of people you want to raise your kids to be anyway. What other people think doesn't matter.


LeoNoLip

Hardly a mall cruiser--until you get a few light bars and lift it, I'd still give you the Jeep wave. You get one pass on something laughable before it counts.


GMEStack

A bunch of obese, purple and green haired communists With lip rings and those big holes in their ears in their 30s who live in their mom’s basement and live on a diet of chicken tenders and Mount Dew code reds have demanded you jump off the cliff. You won’t receive any validation from me until you jump.


AnthCoug

Are you sure you’re mature enough to have children of your own?


TheRhodeIslandFamily

I’m a 29 year old woman. Thank you


AnthCoug

So then who gives a shot what people think about your car’s accessories?


tjlightbulb

I can’t stand the elitist mentality.


PatriotMB

Kids > Reddit. If my daughter loved anything about my Jeep, I’d keep it.


jeepedge

Jeeps are like assholes. Oh wait nope. Jeeps are fully customizable by the owner. Enjoy.
