It's just different trim levels. Range Rover does the same thing and so does some other "supposedly" more off road models like the Jeep Rubicon. The flat black plastic bumper & flares is to chip guard those areas... just like adding a bra does (and it's actually a little cheaper for the dealer). Some like it more, some like it less. It depends on the look you're goin' for I guess.Mines Khaki.... I Dont Understand Why They Didnt Paint Everything On Every Model
