thoughts on MIC top now that you have seen in person?
It was a pre-production roof in pre-production color. It's fitment was a little wonky, the color was off, and as @damarble said, the rear window blockers were epoxied into place.

Nobody will be able to say what a production roof looks like until one is made. As others have opined, having slightly off-color plastics in the pre-production units is very common. It will be resolved for production to whatever the final coloring is.

Good to meet you too, Neo, looked like you came prepared with the high quality camera!

What were your overall impressions of the two vehicles now that you saw them in the flesh?
Tbh, I was on the fence until I saw it in person and became impressed with the details and wide stance of both Broncos. Iā€™m leaning away from the 2-door Race Red WildTrak in favor of a 2-door Area 51 BadSquatch now. Part of the reason for the change is seeing the color in person. It might be a bit too subtle and boring for some, but I thought it was a distinctive/attractive color that will become vibrant when exposed to sun. I also think the MIC top will pair better on this color when combined with the Badlands grille coloring.


Oh, and I love the Filson green. Comes across as almost minty so it has a very unique presence. Would be nice if Ford offered the AEV Filson green hue on this as well.

Ford Bronco Bronco Event in Seattle Tomorrow (10/23) -- Filson Firecrew Rig at the Filson Store 512F07F0-1864-41FC-B288-2EEAC7BCB2D0

It was so awesome to finally see Broncos in person! First impression was that Area 51 is gorgeous, well suited to Seattleā€™s overcast vibe. Especially loved how the yellow/orange accents of the Badlands badge, and interior grab handles and stitching contrasted with this color.

Not crazy about the MIC top being the only option for now. Seeing it in person was enough to make me consider waiting for the ā€˜22 model white or body-color hard top options, which I think would look much better.

The Bronco rep there said that more accessories will be added to B&P before December.

The marine-grade vinyl seats felt soft, cold (it was a chilly day), and a bit slippery. Iā€™ll likely swing for leather seats instead.

Iā€™m so excited to get behind the wheel of my future Bronco after getting to see these two!

I'm wondering if the MIC top seems to match the Badlands grill. In the pictures, it appears they are a similar material/color.

Thank you.

As long as the color appears to be the same from a couple feet away, it might almost seem intentional. LOL! I just hate the idea of multiple colors for trim/accent pieces.

My unedited photos. Man these are BIG. I loved Area 51 in person and liked the look of the top, besides some fit and finish issues. The trim did not seem mismatched, at least not apparently. Interior felt good but the dash was a little clunky. Decent thump when closing the doors. A little cheaper feeling than my Crosstrek doors. I love the headlights and taillights. They are having me rethink my interest in Black Diamond. Let me know if you have questions!
