White top is classic bronco.
They styled the new bronco off of the first generation. Need to keep it that way with the white top.

I will have the grille painted white as well. For the same reason

White on top

I think they do that to match the owners hair

I was big on a white top at first, but after seeing several renders, I’m off of it because the black bumpers.

The bumpers being black are just not going to look right to me with a white top.

Even with white flares, then those willclash with bumpers.

Then you have the door handles and mirrors also black.

Maybe there’s an Outer Banks model that could be made to look right with a white top, but to me, the black bumpers are gonna just through it all off. And white bumpers would just look ridiculous.

Black Soft Top for me all day long.

Eh... The bulky lego hard top just doesn't look "throwback" to me in any color. Painting it white would look like painting sheetrock to look like brick, it just doesn't look real.

This bronco is far enough in design from the first gen that I don't like the idea of trying to force it to look like a first gen. (This thing looks more like an International Scout than a first gen Bronco.)

it looks cool in renders. but for everyday, i'll pass. i've learned my lesson with having a white car and dealing with seeing fallout all over it.

If offered the choice of painted white or painted black modular top, I'd choose white for the heat reflective properties. . .but my desire is for a paintable exterior surface. Ideally the top would end up an entirely different color with a grille to match!

I like the idea of a white top, if done right, as many other have mentioned. The way it stands now, unless it I go with a white OBX, I don’t see it looking right. I did have a white 1990.

For me, only to set off the cactus gray. Otherwise, it'll look light. If I pick Amy other color, gray or black top. And the trouble with white is that it's only on half the year.

I'm a fan of classic cars and keeping true to heritage but I personally think the white top doesn't look good at all on this new Bronco. Just like I don't really care for the new trucks painted with a classic color/white two tone.

I like the white tops, but if I get a white top, I'm going to want white fenders and a white grill to match. Would probably want the handles painted to match the body color. Not sure I've been fond of the renders I've seen of the white fenders on CO, though.

Originally I wanted a white top. And white wheels. This combo looks great on some retro renders.

But I question how well white top/ white wheels will look on the new Bronco in person. I now don’t think that white wheels/white top will have the same retro look on the new Bronco as It does on the early Broncos.

Plus I don’t want to go through the hassle of finding/ swapping tires and wheels.

I dont like the looks of the gray mic top. I’m now thinking that I need a black mic or color match top.
