Its a f-in black hole compared to my 2020 Tacoma w raised hood. I had to put a black sticker on the Tacoma.
The bronco is fine.

No problem for me either. Wouldnā€™t expect this to be any different then any other vehicle. My F350 has a much larger hood and no issues with it either. Worrying about something that isnā€™t a problem.

My view from a normal driving position.

The way I have my seat positioned, this is the same view of my hood from the driverā€™s seat. If there were any hood reflection, I wouldnā€™t even know.

I never noticed it... but...

... I added on a matte black hood blackout (purely for looks) at the same time I added the winch.

I was confused why the weight of a winch seemingly resulted in a noticably lower front ride height??? ... nope... it was mostly just me noticing the hood less with the graphic on there. šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø Definitely didn't need it... but it does make a bit of a difference.
(Area 51, btw)

I'm still deciding on what color I want to get and saw this video:



Is the reflection from the hood as bad as it is in this video? Does it bother anyone? I think it would bother me after about 10 seconds of driving and my eyes would keep trying to ignore it but I would just end up glancing at it even more.

Would some colors have less reflection? I'm deciding between Iconic Silver, Cyber Orange and Red Hot Pepper.

You'll notice it but its not crazy bad and you'll get used to it. I just spent the $63 and got some vinyl wrap and did the hood and sides. Took about 3hrs by myself, wish i had an extra set of hands, but no more reflection

Only at a certain time if day early morning almost dusk if your heading into the sun. Since January itā€™s only been an issue once.

What I noticed driving down the highway at 75 is how the hood profile makes me feel like I'm driving an early Bronco without the fighting for all I'm worth to hold it on the road the way I would with an EB. o_O

Its just a clean car from an optimal angle.
