    Hey everyone I'm purchasing tomorrow and can't decide between super white or magnetic gray sport model, they both look great but does anyone else think the front end of the sport model looks weird in gray while it looks good in white :confused: Help lol

    White hides the little dents and stuff better.

    Buy the one you think is best. Everyone has their preference. You need to choose which is best for you.

    And yes, MGM is extremely popular amongst the Taco crowd.

    But I went with Spruce Mica. I dare to be different!(2014 truck on order)

    MGM looks sick but the black front grill pops more on the white while it gets lost on the gray it seems :confused:

    Lol, i have MGM and would get white if i had to do it over. Light scratches show up very easily in MGM, they are not hard to get rid of, but it is hard to keep up with them if you wheel your truck. It gets to the point that you DGAF anymore.

    My opinion MGM is the sexiest color, but its hard to keep it that way. White looks really good and it hides scratches/dirt really well.

    I really like my white one. I washed it Thurs. And drove through rain on Friday. Still looks clean. I could wash my red one and it looked clean for a couple of days.

    Both are great colors, but I would go with Super White. Cooler in hot climates.

    But the sport model is colormatched, thats what your getting right?

    Edit, maybe you mean the inner part of the grill. And i agree that the white/black contrast looks really good.

    I was deciding between Super White and MGM - I went with the white because of how easy it is to keep clean and, from my experience with white trucks, scratches etc. hardly show and are easy to touch up - they really show up at night when they're clean.

    The white hides scratches and dirt amazingly well.
