This is very sad. There quality control guy must have his head up his butt. I'm sure they have a checklist. He must be just pencil whipping it. It make people like me who want a new Wrangler to reconsider.

That's just a limited edition. It will be very valuable some day.

This isn't real. Ostensibly, this looks like:

A) a hoax
2) midnight swap/stolen part, possibly during transit
iii) vandalism/fraternity stunt

The fenders are the first easiest thing a trickster would swap. My $.02.

Yeah its kind of silly to assume that its 'company idiocy'.

It could be as simple as damage during transit, or a vendor did not ship all the required fenders. So instead of holding the jeep at the factory till a replacement fender shows up, they shipped it with a black and the correct fender is in the mail.

The white one is probably waiting to get painted after replacing a fender, and on the black one the pavement looks different on one side and the shots are taken so no decals show so its probably not the same jeep...hoax more than likely
