Base Buyers - What are your plans for customizing grille?

[iamchewby]

The Base Grill is like a bucket of smashed assholes - perfect for off-roading. I will paint it white, to match my white top and slum it properly.

Uhhhh... wut?

I like the black of the grille. Going to see what can be done with build and price

The black gloss painted grill is best. I dunno... paint it

Paint it silver, like some of the originals. It will rock!

It's like the air-cooled 911 of the Bronco line, it's only going to go up. You'll see in a few years. Either the manual is dropped or the two door base price is raised significantly. Or both.

HD or aftermarket bumper and high brush guard w/lights. Won't see the grille.

I would actually rather spend money on a brush guard than an accessory grille.

I essentially will get this grill (color wise) through aftermarket, possibly even chrome if there are good options out there. I also love the Bronco logo here & will probably do that as well. I'm going with rapid red & this it would work well with that color.

If I seriously give a shit about it, I'm sure there will be plenty of options the aftermarket will allow me to replace it with.

For now though, I'm totally happy with it

The base grille is the closest to the first gen broncos aside from the blacked out color treatment. I really like the white over CG prototype grille in silver. However, although I am looking at BL and OBX, I might look into getting the base grille, painting it silver and possibly replacing the bronco letters with ford, painted red, like the original. I guess everything is relative but to me the base grille is one of its best details.

Took the words right out of my mouth....Thank you.

I'm thinking of using a dremel to carefully cut out the Bronco lettering. Then 3D print translucent white letters to go in their place backlighted with LEDs. That way the lettering lights up with the halo lights.

Simple, replace it with the big bend grill.

I might cut some holes in it and mount recessed light pods -- depending on how enormous a 'safety crush zone' the designers built into the grille/ radiator area.

I'm solidly in the basemansquatch camp myself. I might swap the base grille for another trim level or an aftermarket grille. Or I might paint the base grille silver or white depending on what color Bronco I get (it changes daily!).

I really want to play into some of the retro cues on the Bronco. White grille, flares and top. White or silver steel wheels with a retro styled center cap? Maybe beauty rings?

I've got some time to decide and then change my mind 1000 times haha

I'm an electrician and while that kind of thing isn't really my style, I've thought about the same thing. I'm actually turning an old outside building sign into a piece of pop art in a similar way. You can message me later if you'd like to bounce ideas.

The Govee Dreamcolor water resistant LED strip would be my recommendation for several reasons.

Hell now I'm considering doing it. Every three LEDs you can independently program, so for say, the 4th of July, you could easily program via phone app colors of static red on the B R, white on O N, blue on C O. Things like that.

Going Base AMB or BD A51. Either way I will paint grill, flares, top, etc flat black. Bronco in the grill either flat black or the body color ?.
