Trust me... I was. You must have missed my post about my wife squashing A51 as an option. :cry:

Its one thing to build in 'character'....quite another to CGI it after the fact.

If you look at the 2-door image above, note that the B-pillar and MIC top are exactly the same color/shade.
Now compare that to the real-life Bronco below. The images Ford puts out are about as realistic as pictures in a Russian bride catalog.

That's a good point. I really need to see these in person before I can decide.

I'd argue that a factory photo is just as unrealistic. The light blows everything out. I'm not under factory fluorescent lights often.

From what I've seen Iconic Silver looks best under grey skies. Really shows some contrast on the panels.

Edit: This has likely been posted before but this Mustang is a far cry from the factory photo on the Bronco.

Surf green or seafoam green? Huge difference between colors often confused for each other.

My 1972 was Seafoam Green, just like that example

This is the best view of Iconic Silver I have seen. After this I was completely sold.
I saw it in person last weekend indoor on a GT500. It looked stunning. But have not seen it in sunlight. One think to keep in mind, the Bronco is no GT500 :) meaning the lines will throw you off and the 500 has a LOT of black accents which the bronco does not. Especially with that stupid MIC gray :(

This color is on the top of my list. But I need more black on the 2DR bronco regardless.

100% correct....mustangs get their sex appeal from those lovely curves. Bronco is closer to a refrigerator on its side....that may drive me to a body color with more 'pop' than iconic

I saw Iconic Silver on an F-150 this weekend, and I saw the Carb Gray on a new Explorer ST. Both have metallic flake and look good up close but the silver (not surprisingly) had more pop. I think it will show well on the Bronco, especially with the Squatch black wheels with silver beauty ring.

Iconic Silver is leading now, followed closely by A51 (if I can get my wife to like it) and then Carb Gray.

I think A51 looks good with the MIC top. It now comes down to seeing IS and Carb Gray with the MIC top (and preferably on a 4-door squatched Badlands). I've talked myself out of getting the soft top at delivery and just getting the MIC top. It has really grown on me, it's better suited for all CO seasons and looks to be a pretty good value for just +$700.

Last note, go see IS in person. It's a nice metallic silver with pop.

Thats my order as well (IC > A51 > CarbG) but IC is the runaway favorite right now.

Everytime I see this Mustang pic, Iconic Silver jumps to the top of my list. Damm that stang is gorgeous. I would love to see in person a 4 door Iconic Silver Bronco with Wildtrak decals. I'm hoping they pop like the black mustang decals.
