What's the worst exterior mod you've done, or viewed done?

[Bucko]

Hood scoop, Bronco script lettering, adding items with a horsey on it, cat back exhaust, exhaust burble tune, led tail lights, air deflector on hood, Heritage package, Raptor style lights on the grille, turbo blow off valve.

I second (or third, or forth) the hood scoop add on. Yuck.

BUT, I do like the air deflector on a hood. We (in Florida) are closing in on our May love bug arrival. These nasty bugs adhere to the front and windshield. You have to wash the vehicle every day, or these bugs will eat into the paint.

For reference, NHTSA gives the Bronco Sport a 5-star crash rating. It only gets 4 stars for rollover resistance but that is a pretty good score for an SUV.

Likely owing to its higher center of gravity. Bronco Sport owners should take care to heed the dynamic load limit for carrying things on the roof. Weight added to the roof further decreases rollover resistance.

Darn...now I have to figure out how to get the neighbor I don't like to the special home he belongs at.

Vision the scene with Chevy Chase Vacation.

Never have I ever seen this on a Bronco Sport. But it would be the worst.
Could make it even worse-er with other mods combined but this would be the single worst mod.

Is there any rubber in those rims?

Probably hard to see, but yeah, I left a thin edge when I photoshopped it. I wasn't going to spend more than 5 minutes making it ?

• Hood graphics
• Anything plastidipped (because plastidipped stuff looks exactly like plastidipped stuff)
• Too many emblems (script, plus bronco, plus custom, plus ... just pick one)
• Too many exterior accent lights
• Wheels larger than 17" diameter
• Rear mounted spare tire
• Carbon fiber overlays inside
• Any personalized plate that isn't purely informative in nature -- clever, cute, comical personalized plates are never any of those things. Ever.
• Anything with a sasquatch logo on it (see note above on clever, cute, and comical)
• Any undercarriage lighting that isn't white or amber
• CAI, assuming there is one for the BS
• Snorkel ... if a person really needs one, then a BS is definitely the wrong vehicle

Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you enjoy the show??

I solved the love bug, hurricane, high heat and humidity, and grossly high home owners insurance rates. I was easy. I moved out of Florida.

Now I get to watch the hurricane season and not deal with the aftermath or another home owners insurance rate increase or fund FPLs hurricane repairs. Did home owners insurance go up the predicted 40%?

The love bugs were so bad one May that after a 20 minute highway drive I had to wash and clear the radiator of my F150.

• Rear mounted spare tire
  

Man, this one's really practical, though. Particularly on the BL & HL, getting that wheel outside frees up a ton of good space inside. Much easier to get to, as well.

No point in in driving it around town, but the only spare mount I'm aware of for the BS is a hitch-mount, so it only goes on when I'm going off.

I worked for a cable company out of Riverview Florida for 5 Years, until they merged with another company and moved them to Colorado. I flew out there, as I was offered a relocation package, but decided the cost of living around Denver was waaaay to much for my liking to start again. I resigned, and moved to north central Florida instead.

I was over by the Cape. I could watch the launches from my back yard. That got old. Being woken up with your house rattling at 3 am because the junior atomic rocket scientists at the cape needed that launch window.

I’m in Colorado now. Southwest Colorado. A very small farming community. The front range is a real crap hole. Denver is Orlando on steroids with worst drivers. I do miss some of the freedoms Florida offers. Everything else. Nope. No way.

There are certainly good things about moving away from Orlando...the wife and I lived in lake Mary for almost 20 years, and I could not take it anymore. The downtown Orland I-4 expansion was a PITA; it was budgeted at 8 million to build, and 4 years to complete. It doubled both estimates. The mayor who wants to make Orlando the new Las Vegas of the east, the crime rate tripling, and our Florida governor is an idiot.

In Colorado, you have legal weed...not that I'd say that's a deal maker, but it might help if you had that living in Orlando

I'm calling out Ford, all heritage BS, and heritage Bronco's are not pretty.

The only time would go to Orlando is either pass thru it or go to the airport. We stopped going to any areas outside of Brevard years ago. And I support Florida’s governor. The entire I4 corridor is as blue as the front range here. But that stops at Brevard county.

Are you working at Disney?

I worked at Disney back in 1975 when I was a character walking around main street (Tiger). I remember when the Orlando International airport was McCoy air force base, and landed B-52's there. Since that time, I worked for Siemens (telecommunications training manager for 39 years), and now an IT tech in Gainesville Florida. Retiring within the next couple of years. Our governor thinks he can fight Disney. Yea, good luck with that.

I live in Brevard. Love it here.
