All the MIC 1.0 that was not destroyed and several early MIC 2.0 will likely become MIC 1.2.6 and 2.1.4 with the paint modification. I’m actually Looking forward to it. I’d take a cast off MIC too but I think I’m still missing the Bronco piece.

The painted hard top was never just a painted MIC. Windows are removable and the top panels are different. They are also metal.

Salesman said I could get a mic late next year on a 2 door Wildtrak. I reserved last October.

I know, it was a joke. It will get the dealer 2.1.6 bodywork upgrade to salvage. You can’t mold in color after the top leaves the mold. No one has really Confirmed if it’s gel coat or some other composite. Thats the boat owner in me coming out. Formula makes some great painted fiberglass boats and should be consulted in proper prep and materials.

Just an FYI, the modular painted roof was confirmed to be a metal roof design. Completely separate product line from the current hard top.

Edit: Since people are still quoting this, I was wrong about it being metal. There’s several articles out there from sites who were also mixed up. I got my misinformation from sources that were misinformed.
