What did you do TO your Bronco Sport today?

[Mark S.]

So the Ford shop is putting some accessories on my car today but they do not feel comfortable putting on my Bronco Sport letter overlays. So, I am completely uncoordinated and do not do these things, so my guess is that it will not look good when completed. Should I attempt this or call the body shop?
Note: money is not really a concern but I kinda wanted it done (and not sure why Ford sales overlays but dealership says we are machinist and not comfortable with this; get comfortable! ?)

Are they vinyl? 3M vinyl is a lot easier to put on than you might think. Use of an application fluid (like this) allows you to move and position the decal perfectly before the adhesive dries. Look around on YouTube for demos.

I recently did a couple of things.
In early January, I found a good deal on a set of take-off Big Bend carbonized grey 17" wheels with new tires on them. Never really did like the looks of the Outer Banks wheels, especially with Kodiak Brown. Sold them locally to a silver Base model owner.
This week I bought the reinforced caliper mount kit at my local dealer and installed it myself. I usually do all of my brakes anyway, and didnt want to wait for the dealer and possibly argue with them about the TSB.
I will say that the install of them is quite easy and, so far, no foghorn noise.

Nice move on the wheels. I feel the same way. The OBX wheels are my least favorite of the wheels that come on any of the BS trim levels.

Better pic. Sun (which is rare in Pittsburgh in January) makes Kodiak pop.

I went to a detailer today and talked about making my front windows match the back so we are going to do them at 20%. Also, I asked about the front windshield and he said absolutely not in Illinois. (I checked another place and they confirmed, no way.)
But, I was surprised at the cost of doing the tinting as I did not realize it’d only be $100, which I thought sounded good. And then, he said he’d do all the lettering and stuff on the back for free. I was even happier as I was not assured of myself for this. So anyway, is $100 about right for tinting the front two windows?
Oh, and here are my flares and bug guard I had put on today:

Everywhere will be a little different for the tint prices, and obviously which brand and type they use will vary. That being said $100 seems fine to me. I pay a little less than that where I’m at.

Ok, thank you. And looking at the windows, doing 20% on the front, I hope everything matches perfectly (excluding front windshield of course).

Tint for $100 is dirt cheap for the front two windows…assuming it’s a good quality tint, comes with a warranty, etc. I had my dealer do my front windows too. They charged $150 for Xpel. Totally worth it. Saves me the hassle of having to get them done once I bring it home.

I like the knob covers, where did you get those from.

I got it off Amazon. Look for Bronco Sport Knob covers. They are made of aluminum alloy, just beware, it was below freezing this morning, and they were ice cold to the touch when I went to shift.

window tinting is one of those things with a wide spectrum of tinting products, quality, and costs. Yes - $100 for the front windows is in the ballpark but for a lower-end quality product.
With tint, you generally have three options:

General tint

ceramic

Nano-ceramic.

ceramic is better than non-ceramic, and nano-ceramic is the best product on the market. So you may want to ask a few more questions and see what they will be using on your car for that price.

My suspicion is that it is non-ceramic tint. That functions as low-quality sunglasses that provide a certain amount of shade, but no UV protection.
On the other end of the spectrum, the nano-ceramic blocks all UV rays and 98% of all heat into the car. But you likely won’t get nano-ceramic for $100….it would be closer to $200 for just the front driver & passenger windows.

Big Bend stock 17" wheels are the best looking wheels!

Installed the aeroskin 2 deflector. Didn't really want to but my second windshield has a foot long crack in it. This thing better help or I be looking for a new vehicle. It's growing on me now seeing in person.

I'm in Syracuse, NY. I had the front side windows done with 35%. I also had a dark eyebrow done on the windshield. It cost me $140 for everything. View attachment 34301 View attachment 34301
