Sting Gray Sport S - Ordered 8/7, delivered 9/9
This has been hashed out here on the forums but no they do not come with body colored fenders. It comes with molded in color fenders. The color molded in is black. Painted fenders are unavailable on the Sports.
Yeah, I am seeing that but that was not how they advertised it. Why would they have called that out specifically with the Max Tow package before when they already came with black fenders? Now I see the website doesn't mention it anymore. F'n bait and switch if you ask me. Not happy about that at all. Black looks like crap.

I though Max Tow package came with body color fenders? That is how it is advertised. Mine better show up that way...
I'm so glad I have the plastic fenders, They are already scratched and sand blasted from the dirt roads. I love the look of the color matched painted fenders, don't get me wrong, but I use my JT off road and I even have the Jeep JT mud flaps and they're still getting hammered with only 3300 miles on too.

Sure that makes sense, but I rarely do any off road driving and when I do it's brief. Wonder how much body color fenders cost on their own or if someone who drives more off road wants to do a swap? I don't know, I'll have to see what it looks like when it gets here. I might end up saying no.

@Expel makes a wrap in gloss clear or a "Stealth" matte wrap. Maybe contact them to see if they sell just the fender kits. I am hoping to do my entire Sting Grey JT in the matte wrap.

I had them throw in touch up paint, both spray and pen. Even the hinges, since the stick out, are getting sand blasted down to the metal. But I wouldn't trade it for any other truck in its class, it rocks.

It’s a blessing in disguise. The painted fenders get wrecked from sand blasting

I also personally feel black fenders break up the really long side profile of the gladiator.
