    I gotta disagree on both points. I also have MGM, but I think it looks ok a little dirty, because it's gray anyway. And no offense to the black trucks, they are obviously sexy as hell, but the gray is just as hot to me. MGM looks like a tough piece of beautifully sculpted steel rolling down the road. :D

    Since I bought black, I have often wished I got dark gray. Gray hides light dust better, and black accessories look so sharp on a gray truck.

    Of course, if I would have gotten gray I would be wishing for black. Grass is always greener on the other side. Or blacker. Or grayer.

    I wouldn't.

    Too many little paint knicks and chips that turn white. They just stand out too much. Between that and all the dust in Oklahoma I couldn't ever keep my BSP truck clean. That wouldn't bother some people, but it did me.

    edit: I feel like I was too harsh about it. I'd drive or even own another black one, if I had the right deal on it. But I wouldn't seek it out like I did my last one.
