I like black. In fact it is my favorite color for many things. However, 1) half the jeeps over the past 5-7 years are black. 2) black vehicles get damn hot in the south and southwest.

My premlinary conclusion is Red Rock. I've done a lot of posting/reading/posting/ reading....on this topic, and well I'm just stumped. The truth is....I can live with any color....but would like to get a color that won't get boring and will turn heads when very clean....
Hmmm....I saw a Steel Blue approach a restauraunt the other day....very nice....too bad they're not being made any more....I know I am overthinking all of this, but waiting for the money to come together is too agonizing, this forum helps vent my frustration of saving money...rock on!

I also agree that black when clean looks very sharp. However, it is hard to keep clean and looking sharp.

Black gets a bad rap

I went with Steel Blue, but Red rock was running a close second. Whatever you chose, you could alway pick up a black tie affair decal. That'll certainly dress it up some. One of our members has one on his black JK. I love it!

Black is the classiest and can be dressed formally. I was in the same position as you. Nothing and I mean nothing makes the Jeep look like a nice classy vehicle other than a 4 door black model. You may want to get Sarah for the fenders as well.
I rarely see black... I know it is a common color for cars, but I don't see many black jeeps on the streets.

My Jeep Green Sahara with Khaki when cleaned up (which is rare), is about as sharp as it comes IMO.
When cleaned and waxed, the Green is about as deep as they come.
This isn't a great pic as it's not super clean, but the color contrast is good in this pic o you get an idea of how the khaki looks.

As much as I hate to say it I thik in this situation (and only for this reason) black with chrome accents. Personally I don't like chrome on a jeep but you want/need something that pops and looks good enough so people (you are trying to impress a bit ie clients) want to get in it. I think that black with chrome accents will add just the right touch and yet you still have a jeep underneath it all.

Based on some of his other posts, it sounds like he's already decided on 20" Rockstar wheels. That's all the bling he'll ever need.

I think the Rockstars, with the silverish center cap and the silver fender trim. on the sahara, will look great on black
With Red Rock, I might be inclined to go with the silver moto metals as can be seen on user "Joseph" JK.....It absolutley amazing looking. Super Clean!
