I've had 3 black tops (YJ, TJ, JK). I really like my color matched. Cleans easy and I think looks classier on a 60K sticker price vehicle.

Don't have a jeep yet, hopefully by the end of the year. Plan to go color matched fenders, with black 3 piece top.
1) I like some contrast but i also like some matching. (hence the matched fenders but black top)
2) rented a jeep in hawaii last year. it was really convenient to quickly remove the 2 pieces above the driver and passenger and just place them in the cargo area, at any point in time. Not sure I would be willing to do that if they were painted.
Black hardtop and fenders for contrast... also least paint to scratch when off roadin.What are y'all choosing? And why?
I have a red 2020 parked in my garage now, went with the color matched fenders and black top. I don't regret it one bit. You mentioned the color match top gives off the illusion it seems a little more boxy. Something that came to mind, and I believe relates, I get "Mercedes G Wagon" vibes from color matched tops, at times. Good choices on your order!Have a 2021 Rubicon on order myself and spent about 4 hours trying to decide this lol. And this was same conclusion I came to.
I got the darker grey metallic coming. Decided on color matched fenders but black top.
I really couldn't decide which look I liked better for the top... loved them both. I think I came to the conclusion since I liked them both I'd just get the black and chose to put the money I'd have spent on the color matched top toward the Alpine sound system upgrade instead!
On the darker grey the black top isn't overly noticeable anyways IMO. But I kinda like how it matches the bumpers and other black stuff around the outside. It gives it just a little bit of contrast and felt more like a Jeep. I kinda decided the color matched top made it feel a little more boxy or something.
I also was really worried about scratching the panels or top if I color matched it. I've never had a Jeep before so not sure if that would be an issue or not.
Clearly no wrong answer here lol. I still keep thinking about it though and wondering if I made the right choice as I see many sharp looking color matched Rubicons on this site. But then again, many good looking ones with black tops too!
Ok, you're cut off. Give me your keys and I'll call you a cab.I would go with the painting matched defenders that she on the white like I have now I wish I'd done it I would just put the clear wrap on them so wouldn't get chipped when we go off road and all the time. But if you don't go off around that much and you won't have to worry about the rocks and putting the clear coat on there that wrap
haha. Voice to text? zero proof reading?Ok, you're cut off. Give me your keys and I'll call you a cab.
