Base Vs. Black Diamond Vs. Outer Banks

[FishKzor]

So, my current reservation is for a 4-door Base (plan was Sasquatch+2.7 Auto+MIC Hard Top).
But after doing some soul searching, I've decided to upgrade in order to get a few additional features not offered on Base.

I was leaning towards upgrading to Black Diamond to get the marine-grade vinyl, access to Cactus Gray paint, and the modular bumper+the skid plates are nice features to go with the Sasquatch upgrade. However, I can't get over not having the ability to get the upgraded LED headlights and taillights without going up to Outer Banks. But the thing is, I'm not a fan of the painted fenders on OBX, but do appreciate some of the other upgrades, such as the 12" screen.

So my question is this: Do we think we'll be able to choose between painted or the black plastic fenders on OBX? Or do we think we'll have the option on a BD to upgrade to the LED. headlights/tailights and perhaps the 12" screen? (It sounds like they're going to be building each one of the reserved Broncos to spec, so I'm hoping (maybe foolishly) that everything will be on the table as far has truly customizing from the bottom up)

I think when you squatch the obx they take away your painted flares and give you the plastic ones

Seeing as how the fenders are the least expensive thing to replace on the Bronco and they unbolt in seconds I don't think it will be a problem to get aftermarket ones. Don't understand why people want to skip out on the OBX trim becuase of feders that come right off. Just painted door handles and mirrors make it worth it not to have the base black plastic ones.

BTW the LED lights are available on BD

I'm not doubting you, but where did you see the LED lights being an option in the BD?

Huh, it was on the Ford page under the safety options, not there now. Its on the Big Bend still though. Don't see why they would up grade BB and not BD. Maybe it has bee explained in another thread.

If you don't want the High or Lux Package then just get the BB with all the features you want

NP.

IIRC, for a while, the Black Diamond page said Lightning Blue was an option.

Still there.

Still there.

The base headlights are also LED, but are a different design than the signature headlights.
