I can do whatever I want with it...not sure what the colour has to do with it, dirty is dirty.. what colour are you ordering?
Because black will look like trash after one trip through the woods and ruts. Any gray or white is better for hiding scratches in the clear, black is the absolute worst color choice if you plan on using a Bronco off road. Anyone who has actually taken a vehicle through a trail will tell you that.

Man leave the comments to yourself how old are you? Hahaha
What would age have to do with me thinking the Bronco looks like S in black. And this is a forum literally they only reason it is made of for comments.

From your response am guessing am probably just 5 years older than you.

Because anyone mature enough would not put down someone else’s purchase, your opinion doesn’t matter anyway, you have a picture of a comic book character as your profile picture, your probably a 40 year old with a 10 year old mind, grow up...administration can I have this whole post deleted please, this kid needs to be grounded ?

I’m lazy. No black for me. When I buy I nice car I keep it clean for the first 6 months then I get lazy. And taking a black car through car washes monthly will put a ton of surface scratches on it over time. Looks washed out within a year. It can be buffed out, but... velocity blue for me.

Dang someone doesn't have much confidence. Calm down a bit I was just saying I did not like the black on the Bronco. Pretty sure you did not say this is your purchase don't hurt my feelings. Sorry didn't know this was a safe zone.

There sure are a lot of shadow black haters on this thread. My wife has a black wrangler with a black painted top and it still looks awesome 5 years later even with some light scratches (only noticeable less than a foot away) and dirt down low. It hasn't taken a big pinstripe scratch yet though.

I'm leaning heavily toward shadow black with the shadow black painted mod top on a 4door black diamond. It looks amazing with the obx and wt grill in pics, but I am getting a black diamond and am a little hesitant on the MIC black grille contrast. We haven't seen a pic of that yet in sunlight, have we? With that said, I'd really like to get a paint protection film to help prevent large scratches offroading, but this option isn't available on a squatched bd. Has anybody seen if paint protection is available in the accessories catalog, or would this be something I'd have to pay a premium for aftermarket?

At last someone has backed me up!, me to wanted the black painted hard top but is settling for the MIC because of the late availability, I like that gun metal and black look! I bet it will look awesome in person as well! I’m going to get the paint protection installed locally as it might be cheaper then the $500 option Ford is offering. I bet shadow black would look good with a black grill...I’ll attach some pictures for you!

That last pic with the MIC top looks great and has me rethinking waiting for the modular black painted top! Thanks for the grill pics, but I was referring to the black diamond grill that's MIC black, not painted black like in those pics. It's a risk, but the black MIC BD grille might actually go better with the MIC top and grey sas wheel rings (and it'd save me $1200 too). Tough call!

I will never own another black vehicle. They look good for about 10 minutes after a wash and wax.
