MGM Blackout Questions

Not sure where to post this, so if its wrong let me know and I'll move it.

Looking to finish the chrome deletion on a 2018 MGM 1794 CM and I want to make sure i have the parts and ideas right.

Now, for all the parts below (assuming the MGM Painted door handles are $111.83 each, and the Mirror Caps are $81.98 a set) comes to $1,188.36. I can't see getting these professionally painted would be anywhere near that price... and I am also getting conflicting information about body shops reluctance in painting chrome parts. I have also thought about doing this myself in black for all the parts (except the front bumper corners), there are quite a few excellent videos on painting/refinishing chromed ABS. I'd probably pay to get the front bumper corners done at a shop.

• MGM Painted Door Handles x 4(?). This link really doesn't specify what exactly this item contains. Is it the complete painted door handle with the Key/No Key cover, or just the handle and you still need to buy the key/no key cover? Is this 1 complete painted door handle, or 4? $111.83 ea/set?: https://parts.toyotaofcoolsprings.c...ssories-door-handles-door-handles?parent=1001
  • The other option is straight black door handles. My question is; What is the finish? Satin black plastic? Same finish as the black plastic on the bottom of the mirrors?
  • Door Handles x 4. $28.59: https://parts.toyotaofcoolsprings.com/oem-parts/toyota-handle-outside-black-692100c010
  • Door Handle Cover With Key Holes x 1. $9.83 ea: https://parts.toyotaofcoolsprings.com/oem-parts/toyota-handle-cover-with-keyhole-black-692170c010

• MGM Painted Mirror Caps x 2?. Are these a set or each? $81.98. ea/set?: https://parts.toyotaofcoolsprings.com/toyota-tundra-accessories-mirror-caps-mirror-caps

• Left Front Bumper Cap (unpainted) x 1. $110.72: https://parts.toyotaofcoolsprings.c...ing-sensor-521120c908/?c=aT04MTkzMDA1NSZyPTQ=

• MGM Painted 2016 TRD Pro Grille Assembly x 1. $243.80. Now this says 2016 TRD Pro... I couldn't find the 2017-18 version of this. Is there one? Will this fit a 2018 1794? If it does, the plan is to keep the MGM surround and switch out the TRD Pro Insert and keep the 1974 insert (and somehow paint it black): https://parts.toyotaofcoolsprings.c...e-assy-trd-pro-magnetic-gray-1g3-531000c260b1
  • MGM Painted Hood Bulge and Grille Assembly Package x 1. $437.62. Now there is an option to buy the Grille and Bulge as a package for the same price as the individual parts separately: https://parts.toyotaofcoolsprings.c...lle-w-hood-bulge-pro-grille-setup?parent=1001

 

i've also thought about getting a bottle of whiskey and a few cans of spray paint....

Of course sometimes i just like watching stuff burn...

 

I think you need to shine the ToCS symbol over the skies so @Roman can swoop down and verify this for you.

 

im an hour and a half away... i probably could make a Saturday morning run

 

I'd probably verify that he has everything in stock before making that run.

 

They actually have this complete kit in stock. Would save time and trouble.

As a fellow 18 MGM 1794 owner we have a unique problem. The painted center valence on the front bumper.

It's close enough to MGM to look like a bad match, so you'll need to either repaint it MGM or buy a new unpainted center.

 

NOOOOO!

 

The black 1794? Good Lord, that has more chrome than mine!

 

They have CAPA certified unpainted replacement valences for like $130 shipped on Amazon/ebay

 

Door Handels are for four of them. Mirror covers are for 2.

 

Trd pro grill you are looking at is not made to work with 18s. They did not make a pro last year because of the safety sense. They made one this year but it brings its own issues if your looking for cheap. The pro does not come in mgm so you have buy black or white and have it painted if you don’t already have the surround. Also the bracket that holds the sensor is sold separately and costs more then the grill. There is a guy on here making the brackets and selling them cheaper but the whole grill swap is not as cheap as the old pro grills where.

 

Yes, but it also has more black.
