Distasteful mods will only get worse from here. Buckle up.

Is it painted cactus gray??

Love the painted letters. Not a huge fan of the primer.

curious about this and how you intend to pull it off. I like the idea. I also like the original mod especially if the top is eventually white

I'm almost certain someone, if not Ford the aftermarket, will have this EB inspired grille available by the time I get my Bronco. If not, I'll do something similar with my Badlands grille. Mask the inner portion and leave it the Carbonized Gray plastic. Paint the outside chamfered perimeter body color so that it blends visually into the body panels. The way Ford wrapped the edge of the grille around the fender is one of the few design elements I think they kinda missed on with the new Bronco.

Hey, if that's how you want your Bronco to look them more power to you. Personally I like trims to match in color and such, or at least be a statement piece. I feel like the grille is a bit too disconnected from the rest of the colors as it's painted here. Great work on the paint though, it looks very well done. Can't wait to post what I do to mine and get ridiculed here too! lol

I'm sure that looked better in as a mental concept

Nope, and additionally it is not a Bronco R. Just a poser.

It is not a type R so not sure why it would be played off like that. I would have tried to match the grill to the fenders unless later on you are looking to get white/grey FF and Top. I like the steps though (kind of).

Sadly this is the 2nd grill I've seen with an emphasis on the R...
Pretty soon we'll see raptor badges on base squatches

Same reason half the Mustang Cobras out there you see are fakes. As an owner of multiple, it fires me up.

Maybe it’s just primed to be painted body color? That might work.

 

[gentlemanbronco]

I don't mind it save for the red R.... C'mon people!

 

[gentlemanbronco]

What's really going to make me cringe is when people inevitably start adding custom text decals for the sides of the hood like jeep.... you know someone's going to do it to be "unique"

 

[BadAss bronco dude]

Like everyone else is saying... Dark grey (flat) or flat blat black... Unless maybe race red... That might look good...

Looks like it was swimming in a cold pool for too long.
