I was just on the FORD build BS and You cant get a modular top for the 2 door or the body color top, So has something happened to the Modular tops and why is FORD NOT compensating us for this inconvenience, days be for the Build goes live???? $1800 off MSRP and I'll still have to buy the Modular top at sometime for $1,800. It's just me stuck with an extra top I don't want, can't sell and will have store somewhere? What about giving the People that want the Modular top the Modular top and the vinyl tops for the $1800 for waiting and take the MIC top back????? HEY FORD!! are you listing ?

At this point I have just committed to spend the 7 or 800 bucks to go Line-X Premium. My local shop said that is how much they charge for a 2 door jeep. Lifetime warranty for peeling, cracking and fading.

Ask your local shop how many pounds will the Line-X Premium add to a 2-door Wrangler and is there a white Line-X option that looks good?

It adds almost no weight, it isn't that heavy, maybe 10lbs at the most for the whole hard top. Also, you can mask and do it yourself with an air compressor and Raptor liner kit for about $150.

It's really easy to do, did my whole 4runner with raptor liner.

Are we sure that the "grey" everybody is seeing isn't just glare? The dark parts of your pic look darn near black to me. Light black maybe.
I'm pretty sure that's not glare....but we've been seeing MIC tops that look like Black....Silvery....bronzish - and shades of grey in-between.

One of the guys who works at MAP, said yesterday they've been getting inconsistent product from whoever is providing these pre-production MIC tops.

The top is going to make a big difference for the overall vehicle appearance...I sure hope Ford shows us a Final Production color soon.

Fords carbonized gray paint has been said to have some bronze in it at certain light. So you may expect the same for the MIC top which is technically carbonized gray.

You could see some bronze in the A51 photo a couple pages back.

Personally I switched from AMB OBX to A51 Badlands due to this clustF. Don’t even know if I’ll like A51 for more than a year or 2 let alone the 10+ years I’m keeping it. But hey, it looks great with the MIC top they are offering.

Guys, I can tell you with 100% certainty that the angle of picture is affecting the “grey”, let me explain:

You have to see it in person to understand but someone explained it’s appearance as sharkskin and I immediately thought that was a perfect example.

The MIC top still isn’t my cup of tea but it doesn’t look like the pictures in person. It has more silver quality in it than you think. No one standing next to it in person would think it looks faded, you just can’t capture it well in pictures. I hope this helps...

They're made by Webasto, who also makes Jeep tops, who also had delays with Jeep tops.

We have a member here who works for them but he's been pretty tight lipped.

I was hoping that was the case. It looks fairly dark behind the "shimmer."

100% agree on seeing some pics of the paint colors. There's only a handful that we need some real clarity on.

Antimatter blue - Gas cans are the only representation to go off of at this time.

Carbonized Grey - Gas cans again.

Iconic Silver - its out there on other models.

I think maybe Velocity Blue is the only other color we've not really seen.

I'm sure we'll see some F150s or others before we order in December. Just need to be patient.

That's it, this video just helped me make my decision! I will be waiting until the color matched top is available! Thanks for sharing! Now if you can just find and post the video featuring a 4 door that would be great....

Exactly, I am thinking of doing the same thing. There are now a couple of other posts about redoing the color of the MIC tops as soon as we get our Broncos. I would rather just paint it like I want then wait another year.

I agree we need a good quality picture of all the paints and grey tops. It will affect my color choice too.
I also do not understand all the talk of mismatched grey and black on the trim. Ford has been doing this for years on their trucks. I custom ordered a Superduty in the fall of 1999 ( I waited until April 2000 to get it; sensing a tend here. I still own and drive it weekly), It has grey running boards, front bumper trim, bed rails. The remaining trim, door handles, rear bumper trim, and other are black. I never heard an uproar over that. I see this on other models of Fords going down the road. Look around when you drive.

If you're getting a 2-door, its the only game in town.

Some body colors pair OK.....some are marginal....and a few may be putrid. Now's the time to find out!!! To be honest I'm not comfortable rolling the dice based on colorizer/B&P imagery.

This is especially important because MIC appearance has evolved - and many of the early photos are no longer representative. Plus I've seen differing MIC looks from 2 to 4 door Broncos
What colors?
