This photo was posted by another in the gator club section already but I'm wondering why it has gloss black fenders and wiper cowl? I could see somebody at the factory just throwing these on to snap a photo when they didn't have the gator colored pieces....... BUT

Why are the door hinges black?

Look at the one in the background...I think they’re experimenting.

Maybe they're tinkering with one for the Easter Jeep Safari...

This is the electro rust preventative coating done before paint.


Not paint, but does resemble gator.


Also, someone gonna probably get fired for that photo..

Then why would it have badges on it? And also don't they paint the body before putting all of that stuff on the car?

They are not in production yet, correct? So, I wouldn't worry about it. Clearly they are not going to sell a JT in that configuration as it looks absolutely ridiculous.
