So here is my 'blacked out' version of my 2025 Bronco Sport Big Bend with the Black Diamond Off Road package. I leaned into the street cruiser vibe vs the off road vibe, since this is first and foremost a daily driver for me that I wanted a sleeker look for. Im pretty happy with the final product, more a collection of subtle touches vs anything too over the top.

What was done:
-Diode Dynamics SSC2 Pro pod fog light (w/ both daytime backlighting and bright fogs, wired to the overhead switches that come w/ the black diamond package). At night these things pack a serious punch, about as bright as the headlights believe it or not, despite the compact size here, with a really nice wide beam.

-Black Plasti-dip front/rear logos and ford badge. This blacked out logo is not available w/ the off road package, and I'm not a huge fan of the white lettering, or the sticker covers as they still leave an outline. FYI, I did about 4-5 passes w/ plastidip for a thicker base coat, then finished with Rustoleum peel coat for the final layer for a more finished look. I read that platidip removes far easier, and is thicker which is why I used it as the base.

-In-channel rain guards

-Black tow hook covers for the rear from Etsy 'TuffTrucksClub'

-Tint: 70% front windshield high end graphite tint installed from detailer, front sides added ceramic IR reflective 30% to the factory 70%, bringing it down to around 22% tint. Added ceramic IR reflective 70% to the back/side/cargo windows to the factory 20%, bringing it down to around 15%. The sides/back I did myself w/ precuts from tinteffect.com and tried to math things out to get them to match better while still staying almost legal.

-Custom Big Bend badges. I love these. From an Etsy seller 'WeNeedStinkingBadges' who custom made mine to my color specs to match the grey carbon metallic wheels. They are zinc allow w/ high gloss paint, and 3D. Looks phenomenally better than the factory black/white stickers.

-Custom rear badges from GratefulFred.com: Cosmic Eye and a Black Horseshoe, for a little character - not everyone's cup of tea, but my vibe.

Let me know what you think, or what you might add to improve the look.

Maybe... I think the stock wheels actually look pretty good and match the metal bumpers. Next up is probably some engine upgrades like an exhaust/intake combo. Wheels are under consideration though.
