For all those that don't like the way these two Broncos look, please go ahead and cancel your reservations so I can move up the list. Thanks in advance. :)

I wonder if the painted top is made out of a different material or if it’s the same. If it’s the same material it would probably be cheaper to paint it yourself or take it to a shop.
I believe it is different, but I don't know that I have seen anything confirming this. We will just have to wait and see.

I think real sunlight will make a difference.
I'm guessing that the the grey roof will go better with some paint colors than others. With all the chatter about paint color, I've changed my mind about a half dozen times! I'm hoping not to have to pay a premium for a painted roof. It makes the whole color choice issue even harder!

the top looks like shit.
remember....sooner or later reservations will be filled and these awful grey tops will be baking on dealer lots waiting for some buyer to fall in love. If the reaction on this thread is representative, they might sit on those dealer lots quite awhile

I was getting the painted top anyway. But like most here, I don't like the grey either.

Grey or black. Pick one ford. It looks bad not matching. Wasn't there an option before for body colored modular top? I only see shadow black listed now.

I'm not getting the hate in this thread on the base bronco. Looks just like the BD except wheel color. Grill looks fine, just need to paint/sticker the emblem white/chrome/whatever to make it pop. I actually like the simpler look of the base lights over the fancy ones. Wheels look fine, although I'd prefer a different color you can paint them no problem. I don't care for the bumper or grey top, but they're not horrible, certainly on par with an equivalently priced Jeep, just not as good as the black top/modular bumper.
I‘m with you on the grille. I think it looks similar to an early bronco, but needs some highlight on the lettering to make it pop.

That’s very true. There IS value to the modular hardtop, mostly what you mentioned, plus the sound deadning and insulation. I think for a base budget buy, it’s worth the consideration. But once you’re up in a 4 door badlands adding Sasquatch and lux, I don’t think a $2K upgrading will be a determining factor.
I haven't heard if the modular top has more insulation and sound deadening or not. If it does, i may have to rethink my plans to just get the MIC top.

I'm sorry but with the top not matching the fenders or even the door handles that are right there it looks silly. Either make the fenders/handles to match the top or the top to match the fenders. Jeep can do it, so can Ford. But this is also why we're going with a painted modular hardtop.

I just figured out why I don't like the roofs on these Broncos. Those gray roofs look like they are supposed to be black but are sun faded. I like gray as a color in general and I am leaning heavily towards cactus gray as my choice but I don't like sun faded anything on a car/truck. Those gray roofs look like they are 15 years old sitting out in the driveway uncovered. I need more pictures to get over this.

I can't wait to get this truck.
I think it’s the lighting. The first pic looks way darker than the others.

Hopefully there will be an option to have a black top with no additional cost. After all, Bronco Sport Badlands has an option in B&P for a grey roof at no additional charge...so fingers crossed...

For those hating on Line-X... I found these photos on one of the Jeep forums. It looks almost identical to the factory black hard top on my Jeep except it won't chip and turn white. The guy that posted them said it increased weight by about 20 pounds total and that was with spraying the inside as well on the four door.

Best thing about this is that you don't have to do it. It's just an option for those that like the durability of MIC, but hate the gray. There are more photos here.

I don't mind the grey top now that i see it on a white truck, but why is it the base standard color anyway? Shouldn't Ford make the Black Top the standard and any other color an option? I think it's ridiculous to squeeze $1900 out of people just for a color option, cuz you KNOW that's what they are doing right?
