The 2023 Ford Bronco Raptor already has the stance, strength, and off-road attitude that makes it stand out from the start. Our team at Premier Custom Paint & Collision gave this Bronco a full round of upgrades to make it the vehicle it's owner dreamed of.


From Baja lighting and KMC wheels to ceramic coating, paint correction, tint, color-matched exterior details, and a Uniden radar system, this Bronco received the kind of custom work that brings every detail together.

Color-Matched Exterior Details

Azure Gray Metallic is one of our favorite premium Ford colors. It shifts beautifully in different lighting, pulling cooler in the sun and deeper in the shade.


We refinished and color matched several exterior components, including the front bumper center section, front skid plates, fender flares, quarter panel areas, rear door pieces, outside handles, passive entry handle components, and more.


The bumper assembly and grille were also removed and reinstalled throughout the process so the front end could be refinished properly. On a Bronco Raptor, every flare, molding, panel, and trim piece plays into the overall look, so this kind of detail work makes a big difference.


The result is a cleaner, more finished Bronco that looks better than the day it left the lot.

Baja Bumper, Fog, and A-Pillar Lighting

A Bronco Raptor is built to be used, and lighting is one of the best functional upgrades.


For our client, we ordered and installed a Baja Designs bumper kit, fog light kit, and A-pillar light kit for added visibility and a more aggressive front-end presence. The lighting adds extra coverage for back roads, trails, poor weather, and late-night driving while still looking like it belongs with the Raptor's factory design.


Nothing feels randomly added. The lights follow the Bronco’s shape, sharpen the front end, and give it a more capable look from every angle.

KMC GRS Wheels in Midnight Blue with Gloss Black Lip

Aftermarket Wheels can completely change the personality of a vehicle and it's one of our favorite ways to do it. For our client, we ordered and installed a fresh set of KMC GRS Wheel Set.


We mounted and balanced the wheels in-house, giving the Bronco a more custom stance while keeping the look clean and tied together. The black finish works with the roof, grille, trim, lighting, and other darker exterior details, while the blue accent gives a subtle nod to the Azure Gray Metallic paint.

Ceramic Tint and Tinted Tail Lamps

For a more finished look and added comfort, we did a full ceramic tint package. Ceramic tint gives the vehicle a cleaner appearance while helping reduce heat, glare, and visibility into the cabin. This helped connect the glass, trim, wheels, roof, and lighting into one cohesive look. To add to the stealth we also replaced and tinted the tail lamps.

2-Stage Paint Correction and Ceramic Coating

Before the ceramic coating was applied, we executed our signature 2-stage paint correction to clean up the finish and bring out more gloss, clarity, and depth in the Azure Gray Metallic paint.


Once corrected, the exterior was ceramic coated using G-techniq for long-term protection against everyday contaminants, weather, and road grime. We also ceramic coated the wheels, glass, and interior, giving this Bronco protection beyond just the painted surfaces. For a vehicle that is meant to be driven, enjoyed, and shown off, that extra layer of protection goes a long way.

Uniden Radar Detection System for Added Safety

We love when clients choose radar detection as part of their upgrade package. Along with exterior and interior protection, this is a great way to add driver-protection to your ride. Our preferred system of choice is the Uniden Radar Detection R9w System. It brings in an that extra level of safety and enhanced technology, without cluttering up the interior or making the setup feel out of place.

A Closer Look at the Final Result

These Ford Bronco upgrades were not about changing the entire identity of the vehicle. It is still unmistakably a Bronco Raptor. With the color-matched details, Baja lighting, KMC wheels, ceramic tint, tinted tail lamps, paint correction, ceramic coating, and radar install all working together, it now just feels more complete from every angle.
