Do you prefer a black or body coloured hardtop?

In Alaska they all end up as dirt color anyway!

Black top and fenders. I like the contrast. Also, it's easier to repair black top scratches and replace a damaged black plastic fender.

Body color matched top and fenders are gonna cost you some bucks to repair correctly. Besides the fenders are at least 50% likely getting replaced with aftermarket anyway.

I thought that was only in Oklahoma lol.

I went with black top and colored fenders on my order.

I like that you have options... painted top and fenders, painted top with unpainted fenders, unpainted top and unpainted fenders, and for us a black top on white painted fenders... it helps make the Jeeping community unique!

Every Jeep looks great with a black top. I can’t say they all look great with a body colored top.

About sums it up perfectly!

Depends on the color, white go black top... sting grey body color ... but my favorite is the premium soft top...

Body colored fender is a must.

I wouldn’t mind if bright colors came with black hardtop though, but with various shades of grey body colored hardtops look better.

It’s all personal preference.
So nice to have options.
Order what makes you happy!

I hated the 4-door Wrangler when it first came out. Then I hated the body matched hard tops when I first saw them. And here I am now looking at buying an all body colored JLUR.

I ordered a JLU Sahara last month and eagerly waiting for it....

I chose bright white with a black hardtop (also getting the soft top).

I especially like the contrast between the black and white.

It seems like the majority of JL’s I see on the road and at the dealer have the matching top...wondering what others think...??

Thanks

I prefer color-matched fenders and top. Looks more “premium” in my book.

I find the painted, clear-coated surfaces more scratch-resistant, and much easier to clean and maintain, too.

I personally think the body color looks significantly better. My Rubicon happens to be black, so it was easy to get the cheaper option.
However, I would still order the cheaper black roof and spend that additional money on something else. It's not like I can see it when I am sitting inside. Plus, after a while you won't care anymore.
Use that money and get the Rhinorack backbone.

Less paint to maintain and some contrast were my motivators. It also looks more rugged and purposeful in my opinion.

Black top and fenders for me. Personally, I think the color and size (2dr vs 4dr) makes a difference. I really like a 2dr in red with matching hard top, but my last JK was a 4dr, white with matching fenders and hard top. Looked like a refrigerator on wheels.

Black top and fenders. They take the brunt of brush and tree branches on the trail. Mine have trail rash and battle scars. I would hate to see what they would look like if they were painted to color match the body.
