As per the other thread I emailed the eBay guy on the 2011 fitment for this:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/e...s/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170589427207&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:MOTORS:1123

He said the following:

YES!
This grille perfectly fits the 2011 model!!!

So I guess it fits - who wants to try it out?

Also his site has all of the chrome accent pieces and he said he can discount if all are bought together.

Well he's selling them for the 2011's so I would assume he did a fitment - yes bring a tape measure and measure the 2009's and report back.

I'd like to see a real life close up picture of this overlay on 2011 first...

From reading the website I'm a little concerned with the mounting. It says that it "clips on." Now, where this would be no issue with the 07-10 Patriots as the had the slats in the holes of the grill and the edges were clear for it to clip to, this could pose a problem with the 2011 as the honeycomb insert seats directly to the surrounding border leaving nowhere for it to clip on to. I also contacted the seller a few months back about this, and although he said "it would fit just fine", he also said "the front end of the 2011 is no different than the previous models" leading me to believe he didn't have sufficient knowledge of his products. I'm not trying to rain on anyones parade here, id just hate to see any fellow Jeepers toss away $100 on a product that won't fit.
