    As one of my first official modifications I would like to remove the very 'loud' TRD Sport stickers off of the side of my new truck as well as debadge it. I do like the TRD stickers, but maybe in a not so bright color combo.

    Here is my thought: Peel the stickers and replace them with all black ones. I did find a site, tiptopsigns, that sells all black. They have two options, Matte finish and regular Gloss finish. I can see both of these looking nice and cannot make up my mind.

    Does anybody have all black TRD stickers? More specifically on a Magnetic Gray Metallic? I would LOVE to be able to see both matte and gloss. Sock, do you maybe have some samples containing the MGM color?

    Thanks all

    In my head the matte seems to look really good...then I just imagine the gloss look would blend really nice with the gloss of the paint job. That is why I am hoping some people might have some pictures for me!

    Weird. This is exactly what I was planning on doing with my truck. Same colour as well. Interested to see what it looks like!

    The matte would stand out much better than the gloss.

    Those are great pictures, thanks! I do like the look of matte colors. I can get a good idea of swapping the black truck and gray sticker.

    I'm having second thoughts about my MGM...I'm in love with Indigo!
