    I like the look of the MGM. but if your looking at mods then you might want to think what would look good with your mods. For example if you want to do the BHLM, which color truck to you would look the best with this. Good luck on your choice

    i think its pretty obvious that the reason youre having trouble deciding is because you didnt include red (in any shade...impulse/barcelona/killer)...

    its a widely known fact that this is in fact the most badass color for a tacoma :D

    My dad's had his red Taco ('97 - so that would be, what? impulse?) for 11 years now. I need a bit of a scenery change (color-wise, that is).

    :p

    I agree. I've had 3 dark color vehicles most of my life and keeping them clean was a pain. I went with silver on my 08 and it still looks clean from the showroom except for the front wheels. Gotta scrub the brake dust off of those.

    I think the BHLM would look killer on the MGM. Has anyone done it on an '09 yet?

    The MGM looks even better with a little dirt on it! I should have taken some pictures after off-roading the other weekend, but I know... :worthless:

    :thumbsup::thumbsup: That grey looks sweet!

    Your truck would look killer with a black grill surround, black grillcraft and black wheels.

    silver....it's a popular color so reselling wouldn't be a problem. Not everyboby likes red or black trucks.

    Do you realize that now you have to choose the least popular color or else you will just be one of the crowd and won't be able to find your truck in a parking lot?!? :D

    EVERYONE has silver around here (southern california). I like the dark red or dark blue since they are more rare. But nothing beats black if you can keep it clean...
