    Look for member Raz4back, he did something close on his truck and he has pictures of them. He actually did the bowls MGM and the bezels satin black. I was thinking about doing the same thing but decided to go all black. He sent me some pictures of his headlights and it was hard to tell the difference between to the two colors but I think it could look good.

    I will do a write up on them since it doesnt look like there is one for the new tacos. Picking up the dupli-color match paint today. Im thinking I'll do a primer before and a flat clear after. Be on the lookout for a write-up.

    Black. Color matching bezels always looked odd to me, such as the stock first-gen Fit:

    I think the matched MGM actually looks good (Kinda like the new SR package lights). But, I would do black on any other color truck. That's what I went with on my super white.

    Looks good. I agree with that being one of the few colors that would look good.
