Sports have had the Overland bumper with silver bezels most of this model year. Not sure exactly when it started. This is one I ordered back in March.

I have this same bumper on my Sport S Max Tow. I am trying to buy LED fog lights. Do I need to get the ones for an Overland Bumper instead of a Sport bumper?

Mine is a late 2020 Sport S w/max tow. I have black unpainted fenders.

mine is an early 2021 max tow built a year ago and it has painted fenders. i thought i was getting the black fenders but was pleasantly surprised when i saw the painted ones. Hydro IMO looks better with the black top and painted fenders. it evens out the black accents. the color matched tops makes the gladiator look too much like a regular truck.

They come standard with painted flares. You have to check a box to get the black unpainted flares. I chose a gecko max tow with a black top and black flares. I think it help breaks up the color, and most of the other jeeps I've had with painted flares got tons of rock chips and looked like crap

My 2021 has a lot of rock chips on the rear flares.

Painted black.

Have a 20 model w/silver bumper accents and painted flares.

This was way before any shortage of parts. I previously worked in a dealer and still work in the auto industry and can say the standard options really depends on your region you purchase. When these are built for specific areas those dealers have options that are most used/selected. These become the norm when setting up vehicles to deliver. I know for a fact this is still used on the Gladiator as I have installed a few stereo installs and what one region has for speakers is not the same for another even though the window sticker reflects the same stereo package. It is also dependent on that plant what parts are available for the build up, so as production goes so will parts. Thus, whatever new parts are sent may not always be that same as previous.
