My new vision is to facelift my GC 2011 to a GC 2017 SRT.

The part list for most of the components is available.

But for the new fog lights I haven't yet the number.

Has anybody the partno. of the fog lights or a complete part list?

Man that's gonna be a LOT of $$$ to complete, but sure would be awesome. Come to think of it you're gonna need an entire new lift gate as even those are different. The 2014+ tail lights will also require the newer lift gate anyway.
Tire wheel packages aren't gonna be cheap either. About 3 grand for complete OEM with tires on eBay, probably could get that down to 1500-2000 grand for used or aftermarket.
Headlights will be about a grand. Lower side panels, all four fender flares, painted exterior parts mirrors, door handles, emblems, rear step pad etc (if yours are currently chrome).
Front and rear bumper assemblies and all components probably a good 5 grand if I had to guess. Oh and can't forget about the hood.
Without doing much digging around I would guess it's a $10,000 project to do it right. Not tryinh to talk you out of it, but it's a lot more work than a lot of people think.

Bad plan

Your 2011 will be pretty much worthless after you spend more than it's current value to complete this. AND you still won't have an SRT. Your 2011 will just become a wanna-be. Every time a ricer beats you from stoplight to stoplight they will run to their forums and brag about beating an SRT.

I agree! What a dumb idea! Own a real SRT or don't! :slapfight:

I have to agree with everyone else on this being a bad idea...I should know because I tried to do this very same thing

I have a 2014 3.6L limited...and thought it would be a good idea to add all the SRT exterior parts.

Well...after about 6 months of buying parts and finding part #'s I actually bought ALL of the parts I needed to convert mine

There is even more stuff you'll need to buy as yours is a 2011

By the time you buy the front and rear fascias/grills/inserts/grill rings/projectors/DRL LED's/ rockers/Fender Flares/ Hood/ETC....you'll easily be in the 6K range...I think I have well over 5K into parts(not counting hood)...then add a couple grand for paint and install....and now you're in the 8-9K range...

not to mention that if you want to really make it look like an SRT you'll need the SRT headlights...so there's another 2K


I sort of bailed on the idea as I also don't really want to be a poser...even though my Jeep even as a V6 is faster than most modified SRT's its still not an SRT


Oh yeah...forgot to mention that you'll need the Brembo brakes/SRT Wheels as well if you want it to look like an SRT ...there's another 4K

Trust me ....there's a lot of smart people here and there's dummies like me...I have to admit that I should have listened to the smart people and avoided spending the money on the parts for mine...hey...if you really want to still go through with this let me know as I have everything you'll need for the body

Cheaper to buy an SRT as the smart people here say...:thumbsup:

I noticed that the enthusiasm in the forum for my project is not very phenomenal...

But the aim is , to replace the front of my GC with this nice 2017 SRT front.
My calculation is to spend about 3000$ for the parts (Headlamps I alteady bought together for 600$)

The used parts of my 2012 GC I would sell on the ebay market. I think, refund could be about 1500$.

So the amount of
my facelift will be in range of 2000-2500$???

So how are you going to integrate an SRT front bumper to the standard front fenders? If you do the front bumper you technically need to add the fender flares otherwise it will look extremely goofy because the panels won't match. In other words, to do it right you need to do both front and rear bumpers, fender flares, and lower side panels as they all integrate together.
No offense, but adding just the front bumper to a older 2011 is going to look extremely awkward. You gotta go all or nothing IMO. There is a reason we are not very enthused about his project...it's for good reason.

Use www.car-part.com for used parts to cut down on cost.

I did this myself and found the front/rear/rockers from these guys...saved a few bucks buying from them

you're going to quickly realize though that this is going to cost you a LOT more than you think ...the DRL LED's and Fog projectors are about $900 alone

I already have all the parts to do this to mine..I spent ~5K

This is a work of art!! Beautifully done.

I have a 2015 White Overland and recently got into a slight fender bender in where my lower fascia and bumper are a bit dented. I figured this is an opportunity for me to change out the front to the 2017 SRT. I had a couple questions.

The parts list that you have above - where did you order it from?
Did they come painted - or did you have to paint parts?
How long did this take you?

Thanks!
