Bestop JL Soft Top - Help Us Decide

[Waiting]

Thanks! I’ve been through that thread and watched the videos, as well as browsed their site (and product catalog).

I may just be missing something obvious, but I don’t seem to be able to find and photos or videos showing the granite colored top on a granite Jeep (JK or JL).

Check the website for the Supertop for the JK....you can see a slight difference between the black and grey. It is not something I would trust however. https://www.bestop.com/jeep/2017/wrangler/supertop-nx-black-premium-color-twill-soft-top/door/2/
I would just do black to avoid the possibility of it looking like a beat up and faded old top; and, who know when other colors will be available.

Do you want it to be darker or lighter than the color of your JL, which I assume is Granite Crystal Metallic? Perhaps you could ask Bestop on here if the Granite Grey is lighter or darker.

Thank you! I did ask @BestopTeam on post 58 of this thread. Hoping they have a color comparison tool or photos or videos somewhere - like what you get on them extreme terrain website, for instance.

As for whether I want it to be lighter or darker than the paint on the Jeep - ideally, I’d like it to match. I assume that is @BestopTeam’s goal, too:
Granite is not a super popular term to describe a color. Coincidence that they chose that word to represent their gray color, when it is an exact name used by Jeep? My hope is no.

If it actually matches, that would be cool. Unfortunately, I don't think that would happen for a couple of reasons:
1) That would be HARD to do.
2) Their "red" and "blue" never matched any of Jeep's "reds" or "blues"
3) The sharp contrast of material between metal and fabric would be odd, kind of like buying a navy blue blazer and pair of navy blue trousers and trying to pass them along a suit.
4) I am unaware of any convertible that has a top that matches the body color's paint

I agree. I wonder why they named it Granite? Confusing, right? Misleading? At a minimum, false hope

Or maybe it actually is a good match! Would love to see if @BestopTeam has any info. The color is not new for them or Jeep, so assume they’ve got photos.

Any idea yet on when any of these tops will get released?

Yep. You'd think with bestop having the inside access from doing the OEM softtop they would be on top of getting these tops banged out.

Jeep probably has an exclusivity agreement with them where they supply OEM and cannot release their top for a period of time

Just checking in here. Really hopeful to see the NX Glide come out for the JL.

Seems like it makes sense to do this one first - it's the product with the highest demand and is also their most expensive option

Bestop now has a coming soon on there website. Hope they get something out ASAP!
Took the top off yesterday and you guessed it a pop up storm came through and we got soaked.
