I just traded in my 2dr 08 Sahara for a 2014 Rubicon Unlimited. It's looks great with one exception: Two of the plastic fenders have noticable scratches on them. The dealer offered to swap them out with some fenders from a stock unit, but I'm hesitant to start swapping parts off my new Rubi. I know it's a Jeep and it's supposed to get used and scratched, but the reality is it isn't going to see much off road use. I only drive about 5k miles a year and it will mostly sit in my garage. Is there something I can do to get these looking a little better? The scatches aren't very deep, but they stand out against the texture of the plastic. Will a heat gun help at all? Or should I get the dealer to switch them out? Or would you just live with it? Thanks for any input

 

Swap them out and be done with it.

If they are offering a swap,go for it

 

X2 on the dealer making to switch. Why not let them do it for you if it isn't going to cost you anything?

 

Swap 'em out, all your scratches and dents should be exactly that on a new jeep - yours.

 

Do.you actually plan on keeping the stock bumpers long term?

 

and leave things alone ! my opinion is they will prob change them add more scratches somewhere and then they will clunk and make noises that went there before lol that's the thing some times the devil you know is better than the devil you don't look at the passenger side of bumper , things happen , its a jeep not a mercedz

 

I plan on leaving it 100% stock to be honest. But the bumpers look great, it's the fenders that are a bit rough.

 

This is my concern. I don't want to fix one issue just to create another. I'm going to think it over for another day or two.

 

Keep them and go out and add a few scratches of your own.
