Is anyone watching this thread pull the trigger on a 392 Rubicon in Bikini Pearl?
Curious what your build status is.
Dirt Road Cred on YouTube showed a three-second clip of a 392 in his latest update and the Bikini Pearl looked amazing.
Even if I had the extra 30k to blow on a motor, there's no chance I'd want red seats in the bikini. Honestly, 392 seats should have had color matched stitching instead of red for everything.

Yup, I’m quite content with the black seats in my 392, even the 20th anniversary edition had to much red for me. Some people love it and that’s fine but to have red as the only option was a dumb business decision but hey, this is FCA/Jeep they make dumb options decisions all the time. ? I don’t think red seats will be all that bad with Bikini, it’s sarge green and red seats that makes me wanna scoop out my eyeballs with a melon baller

Blues and da mouse - I agree with you both regarding the seat color. The designers must have access to better drugs than myself.

However, when faced with the following FCA/Jeep decisions and options:

1. Bikini Pearl is stated as a limited run and no idea if offered again and when
2. The 392 is likely in its final years before cancellation.
3. Red Seats will likely stick around for a minute. FCA/Jeep managers seem to be proud of the color choice.

Juggling three bad issues and no crystal ball, it's likely now or never to get the 392 in Bikini Pearl.
I plan to get the Jeep, see if the red drives me up the wall, and have Katzkin correct the issue if needed. Already selected the pattern and color from them and it will run me approx 2.5K.
In for a penny, in for a pound at this point.

We all know that Bikini is one of the best colors! I missed this the first time and have cried quietly every time I see one in the wild. :CWL:

Did anyone else order a 392 in Bikini?

I did, ordered was accepted 7-18 and went to D1 on 10-12. No idea when I'll get it though.

Had an order in for an Earl 392 and cancelled it right when I learned bikini was coming out.

Yeah I mean I guess if you're shelling out that much for the jeep what's another 2-3k to change the seats if you don't like em lol. I was hoping they'd accidentally drop a 392 in mine but with the black seats but alas no such luck.

Red seats would not have stopped me from buying what could be the last chance for a 392 or rare color. It’s like the new grill and infotainment screen, neither were high on my list of must haves but wouldn’t stop me from buying another Jeep. I had been shopping for a used bikini blue and was only days away from pulling the trigger on one. Just days before I took the leap bikini was released and the decision to buy new was easy. even if the 2 doors had mandatory red seats I still would have bought it. The rare colors that Jeep comes out with are so cool, mango tango and bikini blue are both equally my favorites.

I got the email today that mine went to production on the 7th. Shows estimated ship/delivery date of 12/27. I'm pretty excited that it's finally being built.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but if any of you guys getting one with the black top would like to swap for the bikini pearl, I'd like to get the black top on mine. I'm in Kentucky and should have my X in a couple weeks or so, picking up at Gupton.

I think when you see it you might change your mind. My personal thought was that the color is so awesome that why wash it out with the black top. Get as much of the color as possible haha.

Actually saw a bikini recently at a campground with the color matched top, and my hydro blue 392 had the color matched top. I am just a black top kind of guy.

I am a little hesitant to swap with someone just because if / when I sell this one the next buyer might prefer the matched top. I am looking into wrapping the top for that reason.

I do agree that with certain colors a black top looks way better. Red to me would be an example of that. I just can't stop staring at this color. What can I say, I'm addicted to a hot bikini.
