I've had my BS BL edition for over a month now and I love it! Still breaking in the engine slowly, just over 450 miles so far. No big trips yet, but plan on taking a 4+ hour trip next week, so that'll add some miles for sure.
Don't want to go all out on it or anything but wanted to add a few minor mods to help it stand out from the standard builds I've seen around town.
During my 30 days of ownership. I've made a few mods that, to me, have turned out great so far.
First week or so. I replaced all the OEM halogen taillight housing bulbs (brake, reverse & turn signal), and wanted to make sure the entire lighting system in and around the vehicle was LED. Also added blind spot mirrors as well that are nice and work well with the main mirrors. Yes I do have the Blind spot monitoring, but sometimes I like to see where I'm parking when reversing close to a curb without jumping out the car.
Got a few in cabin amenities such as the behind the screen storage, which felt empty up there, and the center console storage tray so I don't have to go digging around the bottom for everything.
Then until just recently, I got several things in from Ford finally after a month of waiting. I got my tailgate bumper guard for the back end (not sure if that's the official name), a hood deflector, and my engine cover for the 2.0 engine.
Still waiting for my passenger side panel. Dealership has it already, but trying to figure out how to warranty it before giving it to me or installing it themselves. This bit seems to be taking a bit too long honestly.
Now debating on whether or not I want to get mud flaps for the rear/front or not and maby some side decals that normally would've been on the first edition to add a bit of sport appearance. Not sure if I want to tint driver and passenger side windows just yet, but another potential mod. Also maby thinking of adding the side door molding, to help with door dings, but idk how I feel about the look of those bulky side molds. Maby someone has them installed on theirs and has an opinion on them? Also, not sure if I want to change the Bronco Sport Lettering colors on the Front and Back now, as I've gotten a ton of compliments about the white lettering. I find this odd, as I thought it looked stupid.
Since there is no side marker indicators like mirror turn signals, I might look at installing the side marker Turn signals I've seen posted around that go on the side of the vehicle where the fake vents are. Also, most likely, going to install a Dash Cam as well and hardwire it to the battary like it did with my F150 for 24/7 monitoring.
Not sure what else, outside of installing better off road tires, but I'm fine with the Faulken Wildpeak tires for now.
What you guys think? Suggestions? Ideas? Don't want to do any major mechanical stuff like Lift Kits, Exhaust Modifications or Tuneups, as that is beyond my capability to do it myself.
