I like flares to be the same color as the body. And I vote for the Argent grille.

I agree with the ones that said white doesn't look good with the trim.

I almost always want to see the white center on a Bronco grill. But for some reason I like yours just the way it is! I vote leave it.

If in doubt, I usually tend to go back to what was original; someway it always seems to look better. I'm like some others white without the trim or argent with the trim. If your Bronco was a Sport or a Ranger, it was argent. Other wise, it was W. white or if a Special Décor, it was black. Here's pictures of Superman, a '77 Sport. Pictures of a red grill when I first purchased it, then with a argent grill.

Now how could anybody argue with that. Absolutely perfect. The red, argent and chrome looks soo much better than the solid red grill.

ford fan, that is what I was wondering. I am not sure what trim the bronco was if any from the factory. I believe the original color was a cream color (sorry I don't know the correct paint names) which probably means the grill was originally painted white. Now seeing your pictures has me leaning to a argent grill with white top and body colored flares. Thanks for the help, you have a nice rig.

I think it looks good like it is with the stock chrome front bumper you're running. I would consider moving the bumper up with the body lift though.

my grill will most likely be body color. all trim on my truck will be satin black (door handles, mirrors, bumpers, wheels, etc) so I will paint the grill trim satin black along with the headlight rings. I think they all good, but I am like chip foose, I think you should put your own personal touch on it to make it your own.

I would love to move the bumper up, but the bumper is the same thickness as the frame. Which means if I move the bumper up, you will see the frame. Am I right?

It looks really clean/nice just the way it is. It doesn't have to be perfect to be cool. It's your rig and you should be happy with it whether you leave it or change it.
