They also have gorgeous interiors on thier website, that we'll never have.
My HOPE, is that they are teasers and the longer they stall bnp the longer I have hope.
But as with many things in life we need to accept that which we cannot change. Maybe they will offer something later, or in 2023. Could be something they are holding for a future model, different colors and such. Can't do it all first year. If something does come along that I like better I'll get that and it will feel like I bought a new car.

These are all the things I've had to tell myself just to get over some of these roofs:ROFLMAO:

I was in traffic today and there was a Wrangler JL next to me. It had the black painted hardtop. It looked too glossy for the rest of the vehicle. Almost out of place. Has anyone else seen this and had the same thought?
Not my favorite... but it will be ok, if they take a minute to match the Fender Flares to the top and the grill; otherwise, it's a poorly thought out, stupid-ass, bastard of a plan... and a disappointing surprise to those who would spend the extra $$$ to fall into this category of mismatched, painted-ass parts and pieces.

Did I do ok? I was trying to hold my temper while I responded to this post!!!

Unless I am missing something, ford will be absolutely be producing white painted tops. Anyone who orders the white bronco with body matching painted top will get a white top. So they should be able to increase production to offer them, they are making them anyway.

I'm weird then, i think that looks pretty good. It would look hideous with the MIC grey top.
I don't think the argument is about the Grey. I think we want the matte Black top, grill, door handles, and fender flares (and bumpers), as previously indicated on the Reservation Page. We don't want the cobbled up, mis-matched parts and pieces as they are now indicating!!!

I've heard rumors of this thing called paint . Supposedly it comes in 16 million different shades and colors .
I think I will look into it and give it a try .

I owned a custom accessory and paint shop for 20 years and never had a problem . I'm going to swap those ugly basic flares out anyway as soon as aftermarket comes out with something else .

Plastic bumper covers, just as "nubbied" up whatever that means, have been being painted by manufacturers and autobody shops for decades.

Looks fine to me. There will be a plethora of aftermarket items if you really want bumpers or fender flares in different colors.

Can someone explain to me the exact differences in the hard tops? I really wanted a white top with the cactus grey...
