No one else has noticed the vents in the front fenders? Camo strong on those.

Yeah it sure wasn't the first thing I noticed lol

Wheels are too big for offroading and the flares look like they hold alot of sediment. Too bad they didnt leave the fenders stock so the squatch flares would fit. Then it would look like the squatch wih standard flares, which is very nice. FORD should be chrome because darth vader died at the end. Overall not bad, but not great either. It works on the raptor 150 because the f series is a work truck. But the bronco already has good looks, upsell me on hardware not plastic. I would trade that whole body kit for a winch and a stick option.

For anyone wanting one of these and not wanting to pay the hiked price, but already has a bronco or one on order, if I'm not mistaken, it looks like you can just swap out the flares and tires for the same look on a standard 6gen... unless I'm missing something?

My problem with this is that you would be taking the worst part of this rig and sticking it on your already awesomer lower-tier Bronco!

What makes the Braptor (which at this point really does look more like a hog) cool is the extra engineering that goes into making it more powerful and durable... Not the kiddy-pool-sized flares!

I was really holding out for this... I'm really deflated. I guess I'll just wait for used car prices to come down and buy some other SUV... Whimper.

Instead of widebody fenders they just gave it even larger flares?

Yikes

The front fenders ARE wider, but they still have to match the rears somewhat. And people wouldn't listen to me about how the rear wheel wells/flares would be done, but turns out I was correct. The issue was the interaction with the rear door, and they were not designing an entire new rear door for a single trim. So therefore they were stuck with a wide flare design, as whatever they did had to retain the original door shape and lack of flare on the door itself. So we got wide flare, with an attached insert on the door. Since they're limited to that on the rear, the front follows suit (mostly) to be consistent looks wise.

I want one, but i am not a player at above MSRP which means I am out.

what's up with those little bottom pieces below the modular bumper wings?

Likely aerodynamics. And/or maybe there was some sort of excessive wind noise there with the wider stance and modular bumper setup.

I hope Rigid sells those fog lights for non-Raptor’s

Those are the fog lights I’ve been waiting for. First ones that don’t look like lego lights slapped in as an afterthought.

Agreed - those look far better than anything I've seen - I like how there's an insert/surround to make it look more integrated into the opening.

All fast cars have chin wings these days. It adds 10mph to the top end.

Fenders look goofy

Feels like the right move right now on aftermarket accessories is to continue to wait based on these fog lights and step sliders. Things continue to look better the longer I browse.

Edit:
Didn’t read all 5 pages. Anyone else point out how bad the roof is mismatched?

Wouldn't have been an issue with a 2-Door. Too bad we'll never see how good that would have looked with a proper fender design

I wonder if this is Hot Pepper Red?

I really like it.

Really Ford wide body fender flares…..

The Bronco Raptor, available in the summer of 2022, is rumored to be equipped with a V-6 EcoBoost engine upgraded from the base offering. If this rumor is true, and shares the same level of improved horsepower of the F-150 Raptor, you could expect somewhere in the neighborhood of 350 horsepower – not too shabby.

Sitting on 37s, the Bronco Raptor is taller from factory than any of the current 6-gen Broncos, and keeping with the trademark Raptor stance, much wider. Beefed up suspension and the iconic, and often copied front grille with the amber lights and more aggressive exterior styling. Source - bronconation

My photoshop wasn't TOO bad lol

Those flares are hideous

I’ve been saying for months there’s vents in the front fenders and no one believed me. In the videos of it driving down the road, you could see the camo wrap thing sucked in against them. No one caught it. Then the teaser video Ford did they were clear as day, and everyone said I was seeing a shadow. Go back and watch videos of it driving down the road. Vents are very noticeable.
