I would love to see one with chrome accents and white flares.

Different strokes for different folks, but looks like a Hot Wheels toy to me. No thanks.

Agreed.

I think if it had chrome bumpers and accents like another poster referenced, it would look much better. Also I think the black features with the white is what turns me off to it. Glad the owner likes it, but I think there's enough retro design in this vehicle, that trying to make it look like a Gen 1, doesn't really fit this Bronco.

Just my opinion, let this Bronco be it's own version. Don't shoot the messenger. LOL

The new Bronco is NOT the same as the early Bronco. Similar, yes, but not the same. I want the white top to work so bad, but I just don't think it does as universally as it did on the 66-77.

Something about the lines/shape of the new bronco, colors, wheels, tire size. make it hard to add up.


I think only a specific set of colors work...namely lighter colors like cactus gray with less contrast

- dark colors are too much contrast
- white wheels provide too much contrast against the tires and wheel wells and flares
- it gets even weirder (more broken up) if you add white flares
- the grill is too much contrast for this body.

Look at the concept bronco everyone loved
- lighter body color
- grey grill (not white)
- still had black rims

but then again, that's just my opinion, and some folks seem to like this look


Give me a boxwood green with white top, with black dog dish wheels and a gray grille and you have me sold

Yep. Replace all the black flares and accents with chrome/white features and it'd look much better in my opinion. Not a fan of the wheels. Maybe its because they're so much larger than Gen 1, they just don't look right to me. Oh well, looks ok and I'm glad the owner and others like it. Enjoy.

100% this is a huge part of it (for me anyway)

When/If I ever get one. I'm just going to embrace the black accents and let this thing live how it was designed. If I add, it'll need to mix well with the Ford design or I'll hold off until another option comes along that does.

I'm sitting on matte black Bronco script decals, but I'm not so sure I'll keep them after getting the Bronco. I loved them at first, but that love as lessened as time goes on. We'll see in the next 1-2 years when I get the Bronco what happens.

This really looks nice. I can’t wait for the aftermarket to come up with a solution for the front grill. Needs to have body color paint to match on the sides around the side marker and top and bottom inch. Basically so the grill can only be seen from the front.

I remember in late 2020 when I was all caught up in the hype of getting a white roof from the factory for my AMB, with the potential thought of getting white rims.

Maybe my tastes are different now, or I simply oversold myself on the reincarnated Bronco in the beginning, but totally not digging it now.

That white is too white imo.

This one has the right paint code, Wimbledon White Ford paint code M1619.
