A Velocity Blue Bronco Goes Retro With White Roof + White Fender Flares

I hate it. These are not EB’s people stop trying to make them that.

not a fan of the flares, handles, trail sights and that particular grill- but a more traditional grille with less slot openings might work with the white top - if not, the white top will still look great alone.

I agree. Something looks off with the flares. I don’t really care for the style and the white intensifies it. They also went too far with all the white accents. Don’t care for the grill but it dose need to be paired with a white bumper.

I had a white grill / top, but they weren’t stark white. The trim was chrome.

The top itself looks good! Just not sure if it’s going to jive black trim.

Nope. Try red now. 🥸

Because it’s not 1970 anymore

Every other truck, van, and alot of suvs have chrome grille options. Why shouldnt a nostalgia inspired reintroduction of a classic from the 60s and 70s have a chrome option. Or atleast polished aluminum? No the basic one is damn near raw gray plastic and the optional one is gloss black?

I think the bronco would look good with just a little bit of flash. Im not talking chrome trim, hood sights, mirrors, and wiper blades. Time will show it.

That's every bit as awful as I imagined it would be. I haven't, don't and never will understand the obsession with white trim on this new Bronco.

We've seen a few painted grilles now and I'm still surprised someone hasn't taken the time to paint the surrounding chamfer body color. If it can't be a separate piece or integrated into the fenders like it should have been it can be painted to simulate it.

Because JC whitney was purchased by carparts.

I grew up on with JC Whitney as a source of nutrition for my 8 year old automotive dreams. Seeing their website in recent years is just tragic.

Too much white

I like it! It looks like an International Scout my grandfather had when I was a kid. I would definitely get white bumpers, swap out the grill for the gray Big Bend grill (or even a white BB grill) put on steel wheels and go back to the body matched wheel flares.

Gotta have some shiny bits for that look to work... whether it’s chrome bumpers, natural/polished aluminum wheels or some stainless pieces here and there. The dark wheels and bumpers kinda kill it ... just my opinion.

Cool. Theyre all cool to some people! More importantly, the MIC tops CAN be painted! Get ahold of the bad ones, go at it!

Seriously, I hope dealers who do the swaps just don't trash the semi-passable bad tops. Take them to the body shop and let the folks get to work on improving the edges and painting the top. If it sucks, then trash it. But at the very least, it could be used as test tops to perfect a process for paying customers to have their own done.

Would be fun, Eh? They'll probably be crushed!

would look great with just the white top but you gotta stop there. The white flairs and other white bits just break up the aesthetic of the truck.

I'm not really diggin' it. A little to much white for me. I think I would have stopped with the top. But, it's also good to see what we don't like. It will help in not making a mistake on our Bronco's.

Same Wildtrak that had the color matched top!
They went back and switched it up for a retro vibe! More pictures to come.

Edit: Don’t believe they are finished. They are still tweaking a few things on the retro design.

Added an in progress picture from the GM: Tom

If they match flares to the body it will look good....
