Phase 1 Customizations: First Edition Area 51 - White Grille, Wheels, Mirrors, Stripes, Wrapped MIC Top


After much debate over whether it will work, I proceeded with white vinyl wrap of the MIC 2.0 Bronco top.

Installer: SideAfects San Antonio, TX
https://www.sideafects.com/

Material: 3M 2080 Gloss White Vinyl
Type 94 quick tack adhesive/bond.

For purposes of safety and due to the debate, we started with only one panel:

With that done, we put it thru the ringer: 350 mile road trip, dirt/dusty roads, cold front, 25 degree temperature change and full service car wash (foamy mops, high pressure/low pressure water). The results held and so we proceeded:

As an added bonus, we ordered a couple of extra yards and wrapped the roll cage: this to try and achieve some of the earliest Ford promotional photos:

If there is ONE spot I am worried about, it’s the middle of the windshield frame: this speaks more to the quality of the MIC top as there is a VERY uneven edge there that the wrap exposes when white on black. Might need to come up with a solution for that. This spot will take a ton of wind and elements.

Otherwise, very happy with the outcome. She is a good match for her 1969 counterpart in my profile photo.

Happy to answer questions for others who want to go down the road. Installer is confident it will hold. Advised to hit with Maguire’s spray wax four times per year to maintain and protect.

If it doesn’t hold, or I have issues - I will update. Hope the information is helpful.

Do you have any more pictures of the sports bar wrapped? Would love to see how it looks from above and how much you could wrap vs. brackets and cut-outs.

It looks fantastic, really digging it!

Looks great!

Minor quibble, but I'd like to see center caps on the wheels. Chrome maybe? Or whatever finish the Bronco emblem is.
