Color Matched Hardtop vs Stock Carbonized Gray

[cdoublev]

Forgive me if this has been covered, but wouldn’t the MIC tops be more scratch resistant?

Area 51 looks to me like it could be the same as “Performance Blue” on the Raptor. Thoughts?

Theoretically, yes. Though you'll have to deal with more/earlier fading since it's plastic.

My phone is water resistant, doesn't mean it's be a good idea to go swimming with it

"Resistant" doesn't carry a lot of meaning in marketing

While some say it's too early to say the top will fade, I'll argue that it's too early to simply take it for a fact that they won't fade.

Until these things spend a few seasons in the sun nobody really knows how they'll hold up. I'm sure ford tested, but testing isn't the real world.

I don't have a dog in this fight, hopefully they won't fade but it's too early to tell

The Jeep tops appear black to me - I am wondering if they fade

The 2 door Black Painted Hard Top is $1200.
It comes standard with Grey Plastic Hard Top.

The 4 door Black Painted Hard Top is $1900.
The Grey Plastic Hard Top is $700.
It comes standard with soft top.

I think.

I think there's one more black painted top much like the $1900 one, except the windows are not removable. I would expect that one to price around $1500?

 

[VictoryLights]

I'm still not convinced that the $700 hardtop isn't just a single molded piece. The $1900 version includes the word "modular." Is there any documentation or pictures of the $700 one on the 4-door?

Personally I would accept a single-piece 4-dr hardshell. But I know that's not a popular viewpoint

 

[LoneStar]

I'd say there are lots of paint color choices that look pretty decent with the MIC gray top
(taken from colorizer but would look as nice 2-dr or 4-dr)

There isn’t a single molded piece top. The modular top adds the pop out windows and the “sunroof” above the back seats on the 2-door. I think the $1900 top on the pricing tool is the shadow black top, not the MIC top, even though the email details don’t say that.

I really thought the “base” hardtop has removable sections over the first row, second row, then the back was all one piece.
I know I’ve seen that in a video. And one of the official ford people commented on the difference between modular and the “standard” hardtop in one of the Q/A sessions.

anyone smart enough to search for that and find proof? I can’t remember where I saw that. Kind of information over load at this point.

I love the contrast of a light body color with a shiny shadow black top. but i like the grey too too, and think it would go well with cactus grey

I don’t. For all the reasons people avoid black cars, I am avoiding a gloss black roof

 

[Maxmillian1]

I'm more of a body colored top person, but I can't understand the gray top and fenders that is the same texture that's on the jeep, it tends to fade to an ashen color over time and if you get wax on it it will almost most be ruined.

I must say that the standard hardtop looks great for colors like Area 51 and Cactus Grey, but the coloration and the name of the color is lacking a proper description.
If I pick a carbonized gray Bronco, I'd 'assume' that the carbonized gray hardtop would match. Be careful on this assumption. carbonized gray are two different colors...

I'll stick with cactus gray for now, but I do want to see all the colors - and hard tops - in person ASAP.

I'd definitely play around with the colors if we can mix and match the hard top on mine. I'm planing on ordering a two door in rapid red (if it wasn't obvious from my user name lol). I'd want to see how that red would look with the white or silver or maybe the cactus gray. If I don't like the look I'd just stick with the body color for the hard top.

I like this since they aren't giving a soft top option for the two but maybe that will be a purchasable accessory

From what I've seen from the videos we've seen out there, the cyber orange sasquatched (spelling?) and the Rubicon trail/ Moab videos, I assume these are all preproduction or demo vehicles and aren't final versions.

Though, i believe I've noticed that those only have the front 2 occupant panels are removaval, and then just the rear camper shell (... can't think of the term as of now) ... these are the MIC top (I'm speaking of the 2 door).

I would hope my base model two door I get that has the MIC top will have the 2 front panels, as well as the rear occupant panel removaval; then you would have last the rear camper shell (... term again?) portion that can be removaval.

If not I would be annoyed cause I want that portion removaval for my rear passengers; not going to pay how much extra for every one to have the "skyward view".

I will quote the guy from the video you recommended that the only difference from the painted hard top to the "other" hardtop offering (the guy in the video's words) is that the rear glass is removaval.

"quoting at 2min 49 sec"

So I take it as the guy is saying that there is 2 tops; the MIC top and the Shadow black painted. The Shadow Black painted has the modularity of removing the rear glass.






... though, I'll hold off my final verdict til the build and price is up for us
