I would do the white top, fender flares and mirror caps body color. Just my 2 cents. Beautiful build!
Thanks. Getting some good takes here for what is a Work-in-Progress

I'm trying to visualize how this would look on Cactus Gray. I don't have the stones to just go ahead and do it to find out but I admire your efforts!
When the bronco was first announced there was a color, which I now believe is Catus Gray, that had the trim in white and I feel in love.
I almost went with Cactus Gray but it was too light. Glad I got A51!

I think a lot of us liked that rig and the retro look it had. Of course then we learned that everything (including the paint color!) wasn't available IRL. I've seen renderings of white accessories on Cactus Gray but no real pics yet. So far AMB and Area51 are all I've seen. I'm sure someone will do it, might even be me if I get drunk and my wallet and checkbook aren't locked up

Consider painting the fenders white and do white lettering out on the tires. I would also change the shackle color to Area 51
Massive agreement on white lettering on tires. Sadly, it doesn’t exist on the stock FE tires…. Would have to buy all new. Next set.

I think I agree with you on the mirrors — thanks for the opinion. Good news is all I have to do is unwrap them like a gift…
Update: you were right.

here's a quick mock up with white top...I think it'd look better with black mirrors.

Wow. I love this community. Thanks for the mock up. Also, y’all were right:

How do you go about getting the exact color paint to match? I want to do the same with my grill, letters, fender flares, mirror caps, tow hooks... for shadow black.

Also, any tips on the best way to paint these parts?
The speed shop sent it to a reputable painter who took my gas cap to do color match for Area 51. They also matched grille to wheels. Cool technology I reckon but I know little. Mostly: Use a reputable paint shop!

When this all started last year I thought for sure I wanted white accents on my A51. Now that I've seen a few....I was wrong. White top? Maybe. White accents? Not a fan.

But that's just me!!! I'm glad the owner loves it.

Thanks for sharing. I really enjoy seeing what the new Bronco owners are doing to personalize them.

Darrin,

Looks great with the White accents. Do you mind if I use your pics on our website? Also, feel free to post more or email pics.
