[Rubisquatch]

Does anyone know the options of hard top colors and flare color options on each trim level?

Bump...

As of now hard top is standerd on 2 door and option on 4 door. As for colors carbon gray is standered on 2 door hard top there is an option for body color hard top to match or shadow black painted hard top there might be a white top avaible too. For fender flares it’s either carbon gray or body painted to match if you get the outer banks. We should be able to build our broncos sometime in august on ford website and see prices

Nobody will have the answer until Ford opens up the build feature on their website. It’s all speculation before that

If the fender flares are anything like my Jeep JK Wrangler, then the plastic will fade quickly here in the Houston heat...I ended up Line-X'ing my fender flares since the ugly faded/now gray flares looked terrible within 1 year of ownership...

I plan on using the areospace stuff on them after every wash to keep them from fading

I read that if you apply Ceramic Coating to black plastic like the fender flares, it really brings back any fade, and protects it after.
I plan on applying a Ceramic Coating myself after getting my Bronco, adds a layer of protection and makes washing so easy. I am also too cheap to pay someone $800+ to do it...

Does that stuff work well?

To me, the flares are the place to worry about least, as they're easy to replace.

Here you go, I just fixed all your faded fenders. One bottle of this stuff will cover the plastics on about 100 Jeeps, so more Broncos.

I have used this for the past decade and also done tests on different plastics. It will penetrate the plastic and is not a surface dressing. It will hold up as well as the OEM plastic, so assume re-application annually in areas such as Texas.

Goes on easy, spreads far, super easy to clean up as you go, won't stain your paint. It's a fabulous product.

For anyone having this trouble, I brought back the faded-to-graywhite trim on my father-in-law's 2003 CJ (flares, bumper ends, upper valance, etc.) with Griot's Garage Rubber Prep, followed by Blackshine Trim Restorer. Nearly as good as new, except where there was some fatiguing on the right front flare (probably a boulder scrape).

I asked in another thread and was told this stuff works really well it’s used in boats plastics all kinds of stuff all the customer reviews on amazon were really positive too

303 aerospace protectant works Extremely well.

It is recommended by countless manufacturers.

It was recommended for the soft top I had on my 85 bronco. I also use it on my sea eagle inflatable kayaks and they have not faded one bit.

Many swear by some of these black restoration products, but they typically need to be reapplied again at some point because they are essentially just re-hydrating the plastic with a petroleum or silicone-based compound which WILL eventually dry out.

In many cases it looks worse after drying out than it did before applying the product.

If you use the 303 protectant from the get-go they will continue to look new for a very long time.

Anyone getting a white 4-door can probably make out nicely with dual tops and a body color painted hard top, if you know what I mean....

Do we know what material the 2 DR body color match top is made out of? Looks metal (aluminum or steel) from Ford's colorizer photos or is it the same as MIC?

Anyone have long term experience with white MIC tops in terms of staying true to color, ability to clean off dead bugs and crap?

10 years of experience using Solution Finish (linked above) and over 2 decades experience with 303. I'll would and do use Solution Finish on my vehicles.

FWIW, 303 isn't some miracle "lifetime application". You'll be putting that on intermittently as well. It's a great product, no doubt. But i'd argue the plastics used today are simply better than they used to be, Chevy Avalanch as the gold standard in "how to use cheap plastics and get cheap results" on a modern automobile... But it is GM we're talking about with that...
