I for one loved the look of black fenders and black top on my White JLUR. I think it really makes the white color pop against it. You just have to care of the fenders and make sure they never turn that faded grey color.
I had a TJ and the black plastic fenders needed care to keep them black. I ended up having to paint them every few years. Hopefully the newer plastics have better resistance to oxidation.

Our 2021 Rubicon came with painted fenders and factory clear film on the rears. But we grabbed a Expel kit from Amazon for $20 and did them larger to cover the full front face of them.

Every combo looks great on the white Jeep. I think the painted fenders have a nicer surface for lining later down the road if they get too scratched, roof as well.

Had the same debate. Ultimately went with painted white. Thought it looked like more of an upper trim level.
I agree the painted fenders look a little more upscale.

I took delivery of my White JLR with black fenders and black grill a few months ago. Looks like they picture you attached but a 2-door. Thanks!

Very nice! For me, if i go white, it will have black fenders and a white top. Black fenders for gouges and scrapes on the trail. White top because a large percentage of my off roading is in the desert, and I feel a white top would reflect heat better. 303 will protect your black plastic and keep it looking new. Enjoy your new Jeep!

I chose unpainted, looks better to me and matches my jeep well. Also if you off road you'll get rock chips and scratches from trees and shrubs and it won't show as much with it being unpainted. Also it'll be easy to replace fenders with a unpainted one.

It's cheaper for unpainted and easier to wash the job, I can just get a damp rag and clean the fenders. Looks more rugged too


I agree with someone who said painted fenders might look like a higher trim, gives it that Sahara model look.

I posted some pics of my jeep
