Color match flares, top and grill? Would you do it?

[Hannaboy78]

I agree, and feel the same way about all black wheels. From a short distance away, they get lost in the wheel wells without some contrast. I like the wheels coming on my OBX with the Sasquatch package.

I have black wheels but mine have the silver fake beadlock bolt heads that give a bit of contrast.

Cool!

Kind of like the flares. Not the grill or maybe just the outer rim, and the skid pan should be black.

Have thought about painting the more vertical part of the flares and leaving the more horizontal part black.

The roof looks good painted. I’m a Wimbledon White fan for tops, but think that is best left for the two door / doesn’t look the same on a four door.

I think it looks way better with painted flares the black ones are horrible I’m still puzzled that Ford thought us was a good idea to slam those giant flares on and not make a real fender. But if I had one I would paint them after seeing these

Thoughts?

Nope. Looks like a blob. The thing about colors is that they are nothing without something next to them. Things need contrast to really look appealing. Sure, you can say what looks good to me may not look good to you, but there are in fact some fairly universal truths to color theory and design. The bit of black here definitely helps but it’s not quite enough. It doesn’t need much more but a few more touches here and there door handles and grill black could make it look better. Different rims. Yeah people like black rims, but again, there’s no contrast. Why pay for nice rims to hide them in black. Rant over. More than 2 cents I guess.

Black wheels look great, if you’re standing five feet away. Otherwise, they’re lost without contrast.

Yes on the painted flares. Slightly better than the stock Raptor black ones that look like they were "phoned in" by Ford's designers.

Picture quality sucks but doesn’t look too bad but then again in person could look different

 

[DrewPeakoc]

Eh, it's a little too washed out. Needs some pop.

 

[stickshifthappy]

Not my jam. I like the contrast of color to trim details. Having said that, an all white bronco looks cool as hell.

 

[Gtrekker]

Not for me either...

The flares need the contrast of black for character. I have a 2nd set of SAS flares and plan to spray them gloss black with a texture finish to match my Wildtrak grill and mirror caps.

Looks great, couple suggestions:


1) Chrome out the bumper+ Grille

2) Blackout bumper + grille(leave outside edging body colored)

3) Blackout bumper and buy black RTR grille and throw the shitty raptor grille in the trash

Bonus Suggestion: Color match sideview mirrors

I don’t like it at all. I wouldn’t paint my house window frames the same color as the siding either.

When my Eruption Green one arrives soon, I’m contemplating painting the MIC top white or selling it and getting the Advanced Fiberglass white top. This thread has a white top and I love the look.

Too many colors. Needs white fender flares and either white or chrome wheels.

I agree, chrome or white wheels, flares, and maybe a white grill would complete the look. I like the white hard top idea but I will likely be just running a power soft top on my Bronco year round. Starting in October I’ll be wintering in FL for 7 months each year so my Bronco won’t see many days below 70º F. The smart thing would be to sell my hard top or give it to my adult daughter to use in the winter on her Bronco.

I find some humor in the fact that the MIC top delayed my Bronco about a year and now that it’s finally almost time to take delivery, I don’t need or want the hard top. Heck, I barely need doors.
