Big Bend Grille is Gone

[mikec426]

Does this grille come in black? Not gray with glitter or glossy black like on my OBX. If so, would someone give me a part number?

A close second is this one. I believe that is the black, non-glossy version I like. Again, part number? Thanks!

First Gen-pretty barebones

2021-2024

The MPH gauge on the left is mimicking the FGB one

I hate the slide out info, it feels like looking at a 90's arcade car driving game. I keep waiting for the pop out to say "game over" and show me my high score, its 2025 man!

But the pre-2025 Bronco already had a electronic cluster that was inspired by the FSB dash.

The 2025 Mustang dash has optional IP mode that makes it look like a cluster from a 1980s Fox Mustang with green lighting, which really isn't anything write home about IMO-it looks cool but its nothing earth shattering and I grew up with those cars.

They have the first gen Mustang gauge cluster now as well as it was an update

I believe the first one in glossy black would be the Wildtrak Grille.

I had a feeling that trim level consolidation would happen down the line. I've always had mixed feelings about the big bend grille. With the stock BB tires, it left a lot to be desired. Ended up changing mine out.

The OG big bend grille does look pretty good on a SAS config.

If anyone wants a Big Bend grille... I swapped mine out and would definitely sell it to you. You would have to pick it up in the SF Bay Area though. Can't imaging shipping that.

I liked my BB grille better after installing color matched gray letters. I tried the mesh inserts but didn’t like the look.

That does look good, also hello fellow Idahoan.

Yes, the BD and Base grills are closest to the G1 grill. But IMHO, the BB and OB grills are just butt a$$ ugly, and I own a BB. But swapped out a takeoff Badlands, and absolutely love the transformation. Add in the silver stripe, the Bronco Script, and I have a 2DR BB EG that no one else has.

Nice. I don’t like the BigBend/Outerbanks grille design, so I never noticed that it was painted silver on BigBend. Is it the same silver color as the Badlands grille?

Silver seemed like an odd color since nothing else on the Bronco is that color, but I guess Ford wanted something that sort of looked like steel.

Another Vote for the (Matte) OG BB Grille. No glossy graters for me.
My first 'want' was a modular bumper. But the plastic has grown on me.
And it's rust proof!

my Big Bend grille is gray like the MIC top, not silver.

It might depend on the year and trim level as well. My '24 BB mid trim has silver/faux gun metal look like the rims

It is the same silver as the Badlands grille, the fact that it isn't the same as any other part of the Bronco is part of what I like, it breaks up the black pieces on it.

I would get the capable bumper if you like the look of the plastic bumper but want steel, it's what I put on mine and think it looks great. Ignore the terrible Google Magic Eraser spot from where my license plate was on the picture.

Mine is the same.
