so how do we SGers feel about black hardtop vs body color hardtop? i have a JLUS with body color top on order but am second guessing my carefully thought out decision....
From a practical stand point...Black top (easier to spot paint) painted fenders (way easier to keep clean). My last Jeep had painted top and black fenders.

Hi guys, I have over 8,000 miles on Lagertha. We’re still in love :involve:! I get so many people complimenting the color...definitely the best color:) For those still waiting, the wait is worth it and you won’t be disappointed with your color choice ;)

I have the black hard top and I love it. You can’t go wrong either way.

That's my mentality, which is why I ordered that way. I do think the painted top on the Sting Gray looks awesome, but I was thinking, since I want to be taking the top off as much as possible, A) why pay more for a painted top, and B) I'd feel worse if I accidentally scratched it while removing it or something. Besides, once it's off, it's all Sting Gray! Also, I'd like to get a fast back hard top at some point, so maybe I can sell the black hard top.

But I went with the painted fenders because they'd be easier to maintain, and I've seen the black fenders on a few older jeeps, and the sun always makes them look faded with time. At least down here where it's always hot!

I also went painted fenders black top. I didn’t like the painted fenders on the jk but with the black trim and more minimal body, I think they look great on the JL. The painted top is too matchy on the two door so I went black but I’m going to wrap it white then maybe paint it like the jeepster.

I personally really like the look of SG fenders with the black hard top. I think it gives it a really nice offset. I personally feel like with the color matched hard top it’s a little too much SG.

I attached a picture for reference.

Mine is black top/ black fenders, and I love it. Somewhere in this thread there are pics of a painted top with black fenders. You don’t often see that combo... it looks really good. If I were ordering tomorrow, I might go that route. Really unique.
