Grilles...oh those Friggin' Grilles!

[Granger Ford]

I would not count on you being able to pick the grille of your choice...

That would make the ordering a nightmare and a new production problem for Ford...

Like the F-150's we just find the grille we like and buy a takeoff online that we do like...

Grille discussion is settled for me, and this is it. There will be an aftermarket copy of the original at some point. Thanks to Mo Aoun Design for showing the way.

The grille is one of the last things I would take into account when considering which model to order. Having owned a Jeep and a Mustang, those are one of the easiest parts to modify and replace. The aftermarket will be churning out just about any look you might want within a few months. I replaced my stock Mustang grille with a center fog light version, only needed a screwdriver and a hour of my time.

Whatever model I end up with I will have the Big Bend grille line-x'ed in dark gray.

Wont that be impossible to clean the bugs off?

Where are/were you SF? Im exUSAF myself albeit a different life ago.

Started as an SP(811X0) in '93 retired in 2014 as SF (3P0X1) with many CONUS/OCONUS permanent assignments and nearly as many deployments.

I think all the grills on the trims are bad ass, I think it’s one of the most signature looks of the new Bronc...

good on ya Ford

Just for ballpark ideas: 2018-19 Raptor grill with 3 led lights (I'm not a Raptor pro but it seems right-ish) - $180.

Figure the Bronco would be in the same "neighborhood". You can define "neighborhood" on your own terms (I'm somebody that would drive to mid-Maine for breakfast and Vermont for dinner)

This grille is the closest to the original generation. I am trying to decide between getting this and having it painted silver or going with the 6 slot in silver (like the white over cg concept) They are both bold, bronco and in your face. Can not decide! Thoughts??

I like the black diamond grill for the same reason... closest to the 60’s bronco.
That’s why I’m buying this, because the styling. I love it. Classic bronco. Also why I’m going to have a white top and paint the grille white.
Nostalgic

Thanks for your duty, Chris!

These pics are the same exact truck. The pic on the left has been heavily altered photoshopped to make the grill, door handles, and hard top to appear darkened.
Also the Outer Banks does come with this same 6 slot grill.
Also the grills are swappable between all the models.
It will likely be one of the easiest and cheapest mods to get the grill you want and paint it any color you want.

Dude, what are you talking about? These are 2 trucks. One on left was on display outside the Michigan plant and the other was at the Bronco event recently. What a weird claim. I even just tried an overlay in photoshop and they don't match up at all.

Whoever did the photoshop did a good job darkening all the light colored parts.

Now THIS... yes. The other pics were different trucks.

Same to you, Sir.

Using the Wrangler as a reference; I am guessing (and HOPING) there will be tons of aftermarket grille replacements that appear to be reasonably priced. As an OBX reservation as well, I have had this same "concern".

I just hope they don't make a certain style of grille that some Jeep owners use to anthropomorphize their vehicles, because I always think of the following scene from Toy Story:

No doubt!
