If you think you can live with it, try to just leave them as is... There is a good chance you'll get addicted to the Jeep way of life and scratch them anyways

Lol oops meant fenders. Being that you plan on keeping the stock ones, and it is a brand new vehicle, then I would expect flawless fenders. It would be different if it was used of you did the damage yourself, which if you plan on wheeling, will eventually happen. I would let the dealer swap them and be done.

I think of my Wrangler like a Mercedes, treat it with loving care as I plan to have it last 20 or so more years.

Treat her like a lady, she'll bring you home every time.
