Did they make a mistake?

My ‘24 BD 2dr is Race Red. But the grab handles and accents are blue… oddly. Color chosen at random? Or…?

The ADHD in me sure would like to swap it all out for red.
Can you give me an idea of the difficulty and expense of doing so?
Thanks!

Trim colors are based on trim level. Not paint paint color.

Ford designers in action. The accent colors of the BD are blue. No matter what you choose for an exterior color. Having a 2 door makes it even worse as the exterior color is on the interior door panel.

Easy to fix and depends on the size of your wallet if it’s expensive.

Love this sort of thing. Jeep did it with the 392s. They were forcing red interiors for awhile regardless of exterior paint. Red with sarge green paint just does not look right. period.

It normally wouldn't be too much of an issue, but these are vehicles made to have the tops off (and the interior thus be seen).

They make replacement handles that you can buy or you can buy/apply a vinyl overlay to it if you don't want to spend too much

Thanks. Which trim level came with red? Maybe I can find someone to trade with.

Or where to find part #’s and howto’s.

Replacement handles are available directly from Ford in a variety of colors, but they are not cheap. This single handle is $240. I misread the listing - $240 is for all three handles, not quite as crazy. This should get you started on where to look, though. Other vendors may have them cheaper.

Let's not forget the strange and mysterious choice of a matte red dash on the JL Rubis up to '23, regardless of exterior color. I've gotten used to it, but still would prefer that it just be black. Mine is Hydro Blue, and the first thing the wife said when she first saw the interior was, "Why is the dash red?"

$240 straight from ford.

Don't look too hard at your seat stitching either then (unless that was only on 2023 and before).

These guys make the vent knobs to swap out.

The Heritage Edition comes with the red grab handles

Yikes, ain’t cheap!
Thanks though. Any clue about the vent centers?

BDUSA (forum sponsor, I think) makes these vent clip replacements. They do have a set to match those handles. https://www.bdusa.co/
I'm not sure if that's something you can get directly from Ford.

Look back at post #10.

 

[BetterToBeLucky]

you could either get new handles or go with something like sticker fab.
side handles
center handle

a bit cheaper and can change it out later if you go with a different color scheme.
