Eruption green is a great color. Has a gold tint to it that really pops in the sun. Seems to be a very popular color in my area. I hard a hard time choosing between it, HPR, and azure grey. I originally ordered the green and switched the azure grey after seeing it in person. Would have been happy with any of them though.

I am thinking Bronze Method wheels for my OBX in Eruption Green.

No funny business with the dealer. Just 699 dealer prep and fees (which is not the worst I have ever seen) $497 for some dealer installs I had and 169.75 for fresh tags. Tax was $2,140.98

I tried shopping for decent financing...but with 830 credit, perfect payment history and hundreds of thousands in credit lines both personal and business that are almost untapped - the one and only quote I got was 8.2 from Chase where I have been banking for years. Hoping to save anyone the aggravation of thinking they will qualify for the advertised 3.2 that chase is touting... they are FULL OF IT.

Went with bank check instead. freaking annoying.

Queue the "wow, I paid 20k less for my...." Not hating - its what I would say if I could - LOL

Attaching window sticker for reference and hoping that I can post in similar 2024 build threads about how much cheaper my rig was...

Lol. I’m sorry I misspoke. I’m curious about the price of the PPF

Well my back ordered Bilstein 2 inch lift that I thought wouldn’t come for another month. Made it here before my bronco, sadly I must stare at them everyday until the bronco arrives.

Whoops.

Was referred to a guy not far from me by a guy who has done some rim repairs for me a couple times. (Carolina wheel repair if anyone needs quality work and not get robbed.)

I can DM you the company name on the PPF. He is cutting me a deal since I am doing the Tesla as well. I don’t want to publish something that people could use to beat him up on price along with the company name.

Xpel certified installer. Deciding between ceramic built into the film or 10 mil ultimate.

He is wrapping every exterior surface that can be wrapped for 4k including ceramic on windows, windshield, etc The Tesla is getting full front, mirrors, a pillars, lower part of doors, and rear bumper, plus a ceramic on everything for about 2 k

Went with these. Didn’t want obvious branding.

Exactly my plan as well. Method NV Bronze with the Black ring.

Sad part is it was ~$775 add on if I had ordered it new and I would have had the Bronco branded bolts.

Plus the hidden costs of swapping out the headlight switch and ForScan programming to run fogs without tying up an Aux switch. I already had a light kit for the Capable bumper so I kept it at that.

Sick wheels.

Says they don’t fit bronco. At least that is what Amazon says about that particular one…

Which light kit do you have for the capable bumper? Unless I find a mod bumper cheap I will probably spend my money on suspension/wheels/tires first.

Mine says it fits. I wonder if it’s something to do with trim options? I would think those should fit any bronco.

Anyone know what this is?
