I am still saying the Rubicon has got to come standard with the High Fender Flares. Interesting that it seems very few of these have the Side Mirror Markers.
In these set of pics it seems that the only ones with the side mirror markers are the Euro spec models...

Yesterday I wanted to replace the brake light and put it on top as the ceiling is solid. Today I am surprised that they did a better job.

That's just a sticker on the hard top, not a brake light. The red 3rd brake light is still visible just above the spare tire.

They can't put the brake light on the hard top because you can take the top off, and it wouldn't work very well fitting a brake light to a soft top...

The first color matched top I've seen.

Overall, I like it.

My comment on the grill and tail lights is:

PINCHY-PINCHY!

Is this the first look at the non-LED fender light? Not a fan... I'm definitely getting the LED light package.
I think it'll be standard on Sahara and Rubicon since the 2017's have the lighting package.

They don't look bad, But I think they would have looked better removed altogether and went with the more Flat High Safari style. Though it does appears you can see rivets on the Plastic portion which looks like it would be easy to remove if you wanted to, but then you go having to relocate marker lights.

Still I have to admit...they aren't that bad. :like:

Now I see why the hard top is still called a 3pc. Its because you have the normal freedom panels over the front seats (pieces 1 & 2) and then you have a piece that covers the rear seats and cargo area (piece 3). The rear windows (both sides and rear flip up glass) are no longer part of the hard top.

pretty sure that would make it a 4 piece hardtop...

The current hardtop is called 3 piece.

Which to me seems kinda dumb...Who really wants to remove just the top section and leave the Side Panels on along with the rear glass? And don't tell me that 3rd panel is a stow and go.

It will make it a HELL of a lot easier to remove. If you can pull the freedom panels, then the back section, and then the sides windows and rear window all off individually a single person could do it without a lift.

That part I would agree with. Removability (Not a real word apparently) would be much easier.
