I’m pretty sure everyone will be very happy with the final MIC top when we start seeing them in person... the problem is these are still photographs and since we’re not in the same environment, subtle differences stand out and get amplified.
As an example, here’s the exact same vehicle in the exact same location. The only difference is the orientation of the sun relative to the viewer. Check out how the apparent color/shade of the b-pillar and door handles differ.
I think we’d all agree that trim piece is black... but in reality because of the material and texture it can shift rapidly. This happens all the time but in person (context) we never even notice this.
No one would look at that second pic and think that this Bronco has Gray trim plastic... because we’re used to seeing this type of phenomenon in real life and it makes intuitive sense what’s happening here.
With the MIC however, we don’t have that same experience. It’s like when you see a celebrity in real life context and realize they’re way shorter than you ever realized.

Or the flares, handless, bumpers.... best one yet. Wish it was matching black plastic as I would be all in and MY21.
I noticed them ,but mostly what I noticed is the 2 shades of gray/black.Thanks to @shoelessjoe for the latest pics... These were in with the new redesigned bush bar thread. Yet barely mentioned... Which I thought was weird. It looks near black... And looks to match, even texture grain wise the flares?! At least mostly?! I hope this is the production version. Daddy likes.
I was all in on the MIC top regardless of the shade of gray/black. I do not want to have to worry every time I take the front panels off and put them in the back that I will scratch them. That and I definitely don't want to be extra gentle pulling and storing the rear clam shell. Painted? Oh hell no I am not near enough responsible for that.

Same here, just want all the exterior plastics to match don't care dark grey or black.
Yes at this build stage everything should be production intent.Thanks to @shoelessjoe for the latest pics... These were in with the new redesigned bush bar thread. Yet barely mentioned...
