Michigan Wanted: Black Diamond Blue Accents

[Vigor]

I was thinking of using Black Dye on the stitching.

Thinking of keeping the vent knobs?

No, hope they come off easy. I don't want any orange inside. Either going to paint them, trade them, or get aftermarket.
I am still holding out hope that Ford offers a "blackout" option for accent color, or lets buyers choose the colors.

I hear you, but what of the colored vent handles. Seems a lot of work to change everything
Personally if the solution is straight forward, I would totally change the wildtrak interior to have black stitching on seats, sandstone handles, and vent handles to be black OR sandstone

Yeah, that's the problem. If Ford would've offered interior trim to match exterior paint, or offered a neutral color option instead of locking BD buyers into the Grabber Blue accents only, there'd be no need to wheel-and-deal.

In regard to the vents, I'm either hoping I can easily remove the entire vent housing to swap, or try and see if the vent knob assembly comes off.

That leaves me with the stitching, which either I'll have to live with (it's subtle), or dying black...or maybe ill go HAM and see if I can bleach it (somehow not bleaching my seats in the process) and dying it orange.

Blackout option shouldn't be so hard. Hoping for the same.

I've accepted the accents but if I had a choice I'd change it. With the help of you all on this forum, I'm confident we will figure out the best solution

If I end up getting a BD, I'd switch for the grey in the BB. Base doesn't have the grab handles. Have no idea if I will end up with a BD at this point though. It seems everyday I switch between Base, BD and BL.
I have a feeling as soon as people start picking up their Broncos there will a lot of trading going on of these parts.

I'll check with wife...she might be willing to trade blue grab handles from our(her) BD for the gray off a stock or BB. I know we might be looking to trade the BD grill for a BB grill but that one might need to be more local.

Somewhat silly to post so early on this, but will likely be buying either a Base or Big Bend, and want to trade the grab handle accents (and possibly even the HVAC duct knob accents) for the blue parts used on a Black Diamond.

In MI but these obviously can be shipped fairly easily.

Just be aware the the Base does not come with the center console passenger grab handle. It might be able to be added but if you are planning on trading it isn't going to there to trade.

I'll have the Black Diamond, I'll glady swap out for the orange Badland handles since I'm going Cyber Orange, possibly the vents too if they're easy enough to take off.

Lol..looking todo same on WT. NEED Orange accents, so hopefully someone needs red ones

Aware, but since Ford forced me into a Big Bend in order to get a four door with a stick, no need to worry.

I wanted to ask someone's opinion on this. Pros? Cons? Would we truly be able to die ALL of the stitching (even the pieces under the MGV)?

 

[Sampsonrustic]

I will happily exchange all my 2-door black diamond BLUE interior for your Badlands all black interior. I'm in california but picking up at granger, likely MY 22.

 

[F OR D]

PA/OHIO/WV > Will trade BD Blue accents (vent/oh-shit handles) with Base/BB Black accents.

 

[evilletruck]

Just got my CO Black diamond, the stitching in the seat isn't bad it kind of blends with the shade of the seats and doesn't bother me.

The grab handles and vent knobs though stand out a lot more and would gladly trade the blue ones for any orange ones.
