Anyone else notice the gray grill on this badlands? Wondering if it will be an option? Would sure look nice on an Antimatter Blue Bronco with a matching gray hardtop and gray fender flares. :love:

That’s interesting. I’m thinking Area 51, shadow top. The above is more silver than the standard, right? Hmmm...

I didn’t want to mislead by calling it silver, so I said Gray. Not sure if it’s silver or gray, but it’s definitely not black like all the others I have seen.

I think you're right @SlashRacer. The Badlands grill is listed as Carbonized Gray, so this is another instance of the light playing with us. Below is that same hero Bronco (I believe) in different settings and light (Ridealong Event x2, Wall Street Event x2, Employee Event x2).

Notice the carbonized gray beauty rings on the standard bead lock wheel for the Badlands?
The Bronco designers carried the CG color across multiple component parts. It would look great with AMB!

I did notice those. The CG looks AMAZING with AMB!

If I can get the fender flares in CG....:DBOOM:D

Maybe those fender flares are not CG. Lighting kills the view. :(

All this convinces me of is that I really would like to see this car before I order it in December. Colors always look different in pictures and on the computer. I know Ford can't send a Bronco to every dealer, but sending some painted metal plates for us to look at should be something they can do.

I have a couple of major cities a couple hours from me so when they start showing up at dealerships this fall, I'll be taking a road trip. I'd like to see A51 and Cactus Gray on an actual vehicle.

I think the flares, mirrors and door handles are textured black plastic, which will look much lighter than black painted. Some of the grills are painted (maybe all?). The test mules we know are a mish-mash of things, but the the current info is that the Badlands grill is "carbonized gray with white lettering" and the FE has the same grill plate as the Badlands, but lists it's grill as "black painted with white letters" possibly like the one @SlashRacer found from the trail testing.

Until the dealers have what we seek, keep an eye out for what happens at the upcoming 2020 Bronco Super Celebration, West starting on September 9. The event is sponsored by both Ford and Bronco Nation. Rumor has it some 2021 Broncos may appear at the event! Maybe colors we have not yet seem? Who knows?
If that event goes well, the 2020 Bronco Super Celebration, East starting on October 6 may have more 2021 Broncos. All speculation at this point.
I hope some members of BN will attend and share their knowledge. Who knows maybe some will participate in a 2021 Bronco ride along. Wow, wouldn't that be nice!
