side shot of the green so you get a feel for green/green/green combo. just finished the 2.5" spacer lift in this pic as well so ignore the small tires

Did you happen to snag that one from Airpark?

I saw similar one but the price scared me away. Decently optioned Mojitos are getting really hard to come by now here in AZ. I've been scouring for one with LEDs, for some reason there's plenty loaded into $50k's but without LEDs or a soft top, WTF. This is the only color I want. Though Bill Luke has a punk'n configured how I'd want I may settle for. Keep getting the we can get you a better price on what we have in stock run around and cant order Mojito now so gotta play the game.

I've used Armor All Outlast Trim & Plastic Restorer on my previous Jeeps with great success. Black versus color is a personal choice - I chose black. I'd rather polish the black than have to touch up the paint. You will get rock nicks - especially on the front of the rear fenders.

Looks wise, especially on the JL (dont like them on the JK because they dont have the black part to break things up) painted is a lot nicer, but know this, IF you wheel at all, they will get beat up extremely quickly. The rears also get badly damaged inside 1000 miles from tires flicking rocks at them.

I have a Mojito with black fenders and the Painted top; At first I thought the painted top was too much , but it started growing on me; Them we picked up a black premium soft top and installed it and I'm kinda missing the look of painted top. I love being able to take down the top so easily, but I look forward to late fall to put the green machine back together for the unique look. I like that i can switch it up
That is such a bad @ss color! Finally got to see it in person last week. Neway, if this is a voting thing, i personally prefer whatever color black fenders and top. Taste is subjective, get what makes you smile. The example i always think of is i liked the JK in Chief, but only with the black fenders and roof, saw it in the Chief version with the white roof and that stripe... wife loved it, me... really not so much like i said taste is subjective. Another weird one for me I like the Gecko color on the two door and really didn’t like it on the 4. Anyway, anyway, your Wrangler looks good with that hardtop and with the soft, you did good!

For those who want to "restore" the look of their now-faded black plastic-y looking fenders, try Forever Black reconditioner. I used it on my TJ back in the day, and they looked like brand new fenders afterwards. Maybe better than how they originally looked even, minus some scratches of course.

Also, you can just as easily rhino-line or spray truck-bed-coating on your fenders if you want to make them look black and purty again. This would even work on painted fenders if you don't mind making them black.

It's a cheap solution and you can always buy new fenders if you're still not happy!

I’m a fan of the contrast of the black. I will say this though. If your not going to off road much the colored flares look clean. The way I see it is the flares should keep some of the brush away from your paint. And black flares can be had on Craigslist as take offs for pennies on the dollar when so grab a spare set when somebody dumps them for aftermarket.

You might be the only other Mojito I’ve seen with those rims and white letter tires.
I searched for weeks finding a loaded manual Mojito. I found mine at a dealer 2 hours away. It’s a lot of green but getting a lot of positive attention and feedback.

I have a 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL Mojito... I purchased it with the Mojito hard top, but now I'm adding black accessories. Anyone in the KY. IN. or IL area with a black hard top that wants to trade? No scratches, chips, or dents. Email me [email protected]

I could just have it painted, but at a cost...when someone else may want to trade?

Loving the beadlock rings body coloured! I think I've found what wheels I want when I upgrade the wheels.
