Big Bend - Customized Grille HELP

[DaisytheBronco]

I have a 2022 Big Bend and I would like a black grille.

Would love advice on if I should buy another version of the Bronco grille in black, if so which one would fir the 2022 Big Bend and/or if I should get it wrapped or painted in Black.

I would like something that lasts a WHILE. Ideally would love to just buy a black grille. Does Wildtrak or Bandlands grille fit the Big Bend? What about your opinions on the aftermarket inserts like RedRock or SQQP?

There two basic grille designs for the Bronco: One that supports the front camera, and one that does not. That's the only real concern when it comes to compatibility... beyond that, just depends what style you like.

If you were to buy the grilles from Ford either online or through your dealership's parts counter, it will not come painted. So if you want a black painted grille, then you'll have to arrange to have it painted yourself.

It's all subjective opinion of course, but I like the "chunky" Big Bend grill.... your choice OP, but I would just have your OEM grill painted black by a competent body shop. There are additives that can be mixed into the paint to make it a little more durable on plastic, along with clear coat, & proper curing techniques.

If you're looking OEM the two options you'll find are the one from the Outerbanks and the other from the Wildtrak Broncos. People often take theirs off, so you can check marketplace to save a buck or two.

There's also the one from the Raptor that's also in black too.

Yes, the Badlands or wildtrack grills will fit the big Bend, just know that you also need to get a different bracket along with the new grill. It’s the black plastic mounting bracket that screws to the grill and then you attach that whole unit to the bronco. The brackets are different for each of those grills.

Takeoff Black Diamond grill would be just like the one you have, only in black.

All the grills are interchangable, with the note that @RagnarKon made about the front camera mount.

I don't think the black diamond grill is black unless they changed that. I have a '24 BD and my factory grill was grey (I swapped mine out for a WildTrak style gloss black grill from BuckleUp Off Road which I love and has been great).

EDIT: I take it back - it was black I just forgot (just went back and looked at old pictures). It's matte black.

I did this inexpensive mod to enhance the Big Bend grille...it turned out great.

I wasn’t all that fond of my BB grille so changed it up by installing matching gray letters. It’s not black but more monochrome.
