    White. My first truck was a black 06 Chevy Colorado crew cab. Such a pain in the ass to keep clean, gets old real quick.

    I originally wanted a MGM Tacoma. But now I'm glad I got silver. It's less work and looks great. By less work I mean I don't have to do the BHLM or get rid of the chrome wheels. It all flows with silver.

    If the options are white and black, go with white.

    I had a black car for years.... it's a bitch to keep clean/looking good... Never again for me.

    After washing a black finish, a fly could take a shit on it and it shows up a mile away.

    .... Go White!

    Very Nice!!! I'm liking those black wheels man! It looks like you have eibach springs up front, how do those ride? I currently have 5100's at 2.5" with stock springs, trying to decide if I want Eibachs or OME when I drop the shocks down to 0 and get new springs.

    I agree...including the badging. :thumbsup:

    btw, the Sport wheels are polished not chrome...thank God. They may look a little bling on some trucks, but as you posted...on silver they blend nicely.

    I love the stormtrooper look but also the murdered out look so I don't think you can go wrong either way. Now that they got rid of Black Sand Pearl I would go with the white.

    Hey thanks man! I do have the Eibachs, and just realized the shop has my 5100's set at 2.5. Consequently, the ride is super stiff, but def bearable. I'm planning on bringing them down to .85 or 0.

    But seriously, if it has to be between the two I'd go with white. I have a black sand pearl 2010 and it is an absolute pain in the ass to keep clean. I take really good care of the truck but the paint gets swirl marks way too easy.

    You just answered your own poll.

    I say WHITE! It stays clean and doesn't show age. I have an 05 that still looks new.

    Wow, White has a majority vote here. I'll order a white one. I have never had a white vehicle so it'll be nice to have a change. Thanks for everyones inputs! Now off to two dealers to start negotiating my trade-in value. I see this kind of like a game to see who wins my business :cool:
