Default Sahara vs X

This is not a thread about what the difference between the two are....I am well versed in that....its just I can't decide which one I like the look better of, I like the added features of the sahara...myGig, upgraded interior, but I'm really up in the air about the black fenders vs painted....I was about five minute s from putting 2000 dollar deposit down this afternoon to order a car, but then I pulled out because I just can't decide....sway me, pictures or arguments?

Painted fenders are OK, however I like the textured look of the black unpainted. Easier to care for and if you have to replace one, alot less expensive.

You'll probably mod the fenders at some point anyway. Buy a sahara (steel blue) for all the upgraded features that you want. Then Line-x the fenders black Happy Jk n'

Regardless of X or Sahara... just don't call a Jeep a car. Rumor is that you just killed a kitten because you called it a car...

I was in the same boat a month ago. It was a X I went to look at, I pretty much passed over the sahara because to the painted fenders. I was going to take it off road so I knew painted fenders was a waste for me. I ended up sucking it up and getting a rubicon. I got to say I have no regrets. Goodluck
