    I really like what you're doing with your Bronco. A lot more creative and unique than dropping $60k on something that you may or may not actually need. The grill, tires and retro badge are my favorite parts.

      I've thought about that, but that would also mean wasting time and money on painting something that I will have to give back to the dealer. I even asked them if I could keep my existing one when I come in for the new one, but they said no, you have to turn it in to get the new one.

    Looks great will looks even better with more white like you have planned I wonder what while flares would looks like I'd probably carry on with the jay theme and make your own tweaks as you go but so far looks cool I dig it

      I've seen some renders with white flares, and one dealer that painted a cactus grey with white flares, and in both cases I did not like them at all.

    Love it ! Do the rims white with some red detail. They will pop with the black tires. 👍🏽

    I wouldn't do it my self but it does look rad! I think it would look sick with some retro style side decals
