    This week I will finally be ordering the truck of my dreams, but I can't decide on what color I want. The truck will be a 2013 TRD OR Tacoma dbcb sb I can't decide on whether I want Magnetic Gray or Super white. I originally loved the white and it will be the easier of the two to take care of. The MGM is beautiful but I plan on actually using the truck and I don't want it to get scratched too shit. I had my heart set on the MGM but after seeing enough of them I'm stuck between that and white. I've owned 3 black vehicles in the past and needless to say I'm over black. I've also thought about maybe the barcelona red. Decisions decisions what do you guys think? I plan on adding black wheels down the road to go with both colors.

    I like the white, that's probably what I would choose, especially if you're adding black wheel. But you can't go wrong with grey either. Tough call

    I have MGM and I love the color! However, every time I see a super white I get a little envious. Sorry for not really giving any help at all lol.

    I have a 2013 MGM TRD Sport. Blacking it out! Couldn't be happier. Although, if my wife's G37xS coupe wasn't red, I would seriously have considered the Barcelona Red.

    MGM, It looks nicer. I just trade my Tundra Super White and I love the MGM. White
    has no metallic needless to say. Big trucks look good in white but a Tacoma needs
    a little help.

    I misspoke I have the Silver Streak Mica, oh well either or will do.

    Man I was thinking the same thing. I hated silver 2nd gen tacos until they updated the body work in 12 and man it looks so much better. I really like how the lines stick out on a lighter color but, that MGM is the tits and has more depth.

    Thats probably exactly what its going to look like with but with the trd or wheels painted black and you are running a wheel spacer with 285's correct?

    I originally ordered a MGM but wake up the day after and realized I wanted white. I love white vehicles and MGM is too dark and will show scratches more. I still like the MGM but I love my white.

    I also wanted body colored grills, door handles, and mirrors so I had to go with the Sport. Otherwise I would have gone off road.
