I am wondering if Rubicon fenders can be put on a Sports S after its manufactured. Will there be any drill holes or paint lines evident too? Has anyone done this to the JL and was it easy to do?
I am just getting nervous...I ordered a Silver Sport S and I am having second thoughts about it...maybe I should have gone Rubicon.
Thanks!

The short answer is yes.

There is a thread with details around here somewhere. Just do a search. It’s not hard.

Yup. Snap off the old and snap on the new. The only thing you will need to do if you are going from non-led lights to leds is to use a tazer to program it.

Really the only reason to go with Rubicon out of factory for me was all the options that would not otherwise be available on sport s. If you don’t care about the options I think you can make a better Rubicon for less money yourself. Including fenders.

Would you say this is true for the diff locks as well? It's the primary reason I'm looking at that trim instead of a sport or sport s.

No. If you are going to get lockers and are not looking at getting heavier axles like dana 60's then just get the rubicon.
