Would love to see Ford go with a similar white roll bar on the heritage model with the white mod top.

Nice job OP!

I think you have a point. The camera thru the spare tire mount gives you an idea of how good the other wheels would look like with a darker center cap.

Just a quibble. The thing looks awesome. Huge fan of the roll bar wrap.

Ordered just one of these to pop in and see how it looks: https://fifteen52.com/collections/r...hd-cap-_-asphalt-black?variant=39586888613954

Really love it, I think you've got the right amount of white. The suggestion of some center caps is pretty good, black or chrome, not sure. The top especially is so sharp! I've got the cyber orange coming in a couple weeks and have wondered about white or a high gloss black for all the trim.

Oh hell yeah!

It would be so cool if they made one for the front that bumped out like manual lockers.

Oh yeah. That would be a real match for the 1969!

Small detail that would make it unique and really retro-correct.

The top looks amazing!

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.

Looks GREAT!!!!! Really like the way the top turned out. And really like the fact you did the roll bars. Your Bronco looks great with the top popped. Still waiting for some decent weather to take the top off of mine.

Nicely done, a very good looking Bronco. I am curious, and if you don't mind me asking, how much was the white wrap for your top?

 

[UtahLars]

What can I say? One of the best looking Broncos yet. Retro perfection. Have fun with it!

 

[Southern Girl]

To make it 100% retro, do the flares. Most EBs with white tops had white flares, too.

I like it!
The only thing I'm not crazy about is the all white steelie look. Its too solid of white.. I think a white wagon wheel style would look better...jmho
