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

[Rspayde]

Haha this is the $150k one I keep seeing ads for in Atlanta Facebook

I saw the one that was all over Race Red yesterday on some ad in the atlanta area. The top was just a slightly different shade of red from the rest of the body.

Thoughts?

Using a Raptor with too-big tires & goofy wheels is a really bad example.
Color match flares and grills can look great, its how you execute.
Probably best if you just use an Outer Banks and do the grill and top to make a "City Bronco".
Wheel choice and all weather / street tire choice will make it or break it.

** Think of it as making a Bronco that is more like a G Wagen or Range Rover in execution.

you can do it, it can look great - just dont do a Raptor with balloon tires. Do a City Bronco to take the fight to the G Wagons

Welcome to 1984.

I plan on wheeling mine so no.

I think a lot of us were ready to do the body/top color match at least when the initial pre-order bronco configurator was first out there in 2020

I certainly was.

Everyone should do whatever makes them happy.

But Im wheeling mine too, so no. I have ppf’ed enough paint already!

Once you've ripped up a Fender Flare on the trail and had to replace/repaint it, you'll see the benefit of the one-color replacement parts. But hey, you do you.

At least the Fenders Flares look a lot better!

I agree with those before me. There needs to be some contrast. That's too much of one color for my taste.

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.

This Braptor does not appear to be happy.

 

[Paul Gagnon]

Not the grille

That's something alright... Sometimes less is better. But you do you.

I threw up in my mouth a little bit

 

[hkbooner]

Nope.

One of my favorite things about the Bronco (not just 6th gen but all of the generations) is the contrast between the various components. Love the old "Tu-tone" paint schemes.

This mono-color Bronco is basically the opposite of what I like.

My thoughts exactly! I purchased the original F-O-R-D letters on the front of the hood to put on mine to go with my '79-'81 BRONCO fender badge. Looking forward to getting those on.
