As much as I wished the LED headlights were available on the Sport, the standard halogens don't look bad at all in those pics. Nice angles!

My dealer has 5 on the lot now. Went by 3 times this week looking them over.

On a side note If those are dealer advertisements where a plat should be I don't see the need to blur them out. I bet they would like the free advertisement.

The sport will look great with a little bit of after market makeup, and a screwdriver to remove the ugly pieces between the front bumper and fender. I looked it over today its only 4 or so screws holding them on. I will be removing them from my JT at the dealer. Won't be seen on the streets like that:giggle:

As I wouldn’t say they’re ugly because not everybody can or just want to afford the higher trims, these plastic pieces ARE ugly (but can obviously be easily removed...), and most of all the fenders look like cheap knockoff versions of the Sahara and Rubicon with more narrow but thicker flashers.... I mean they need to differenciate and give people reasons to go higher in trims, but still...

I didn't care for the Saharas there...most on the lots will be Sports because that's the most popular model.

I've only seen them at my dealership. I have not spotted one on the road yet. My dealer has about 5 now, including a beautiful silver Rubi, but they haven't moved a single one to the sales lot. All are in the storage lot. I think they want to get rid of their heavy stock of JK's before they move them out there. They have LOTS of JK's, too.

Same, since they are just now appearing at dealerships.

People following things on here are familiar with the price increase but things will really get interesting once the general public starts comparing things.

Definitely not liking those aluminum inserts in the grill and around the fog lights on the Sahara.

It's funny, I actually think the Saharas don't look too great...especially with the eye sore and totally unnecessary IMO tubular side steps and horrid base wheels. I know the sidesteps are easy to take off, but I'd still like them to be an option.

I agree with you. Side bar is no being g it's all that aluminium true in the grill and around the fog lights...looking way too busy.

They were on the JKs too for the past year or two. Not aluminum, but painted plastic to look like it.

I was passed by a JL yesterday evening on the Merritt Parkway in CT. I saw the led headlights and fender lights approaching and knew what it was. Was a Rubi in silver with hardtop with the high fenders too. As it passed I could see the dash quite well and the huge screen glowing. Had Michigan plates, so I presume an FCA JL.
