    I know that this is fairly subjective but I wanted to get everyone's opinion on this matter anyways. I own a 2018 MGM Limited with the chrome that recently got into an accident ( I made another post about that). The body shop is willing to work with on replacing the front end of the truck but I am not sure which to go with.

    My choices are the the following of course:
    • TRD Sport/Platinum
    • TRD Pro
    • Nighshade
    My truck is very much a street truck, I have no intention of making it looking off road worthy so part of me may skip the TRD Pro grille becasue it may look out of place on a Tundra riding on 20". I do want to get everything color matched or at least delete the chrome just to make it look cleaner.

    I will keep ridding on my 275/55/20 All Terrains and probably look into some 20" black/Graphite wheels, like the Venomrex line to shave off some weight.

    Appreciate the input and I was not able to figure out how to post a poll....

    Nighshade

    Platinum/Honeycomb

    TRD Pro

    I vote Nightshade because not a lot have that look. After that I'm partial to the honeycomb since that is what I have.

    I'm with Wallygator. I have the honeycomb on mine but I really dig the Nightshade since it's a little different.

    my neighbor has a nightshade tundra, and the grill is sick. I would do that.

    The Pro grille ganish kills me. I like the older Pro grille but then you have to figure out the sensor relocation.
    I haven't seen a Nightshade in person but I'm all for making your truck unique. You can also put some tinted vinyl over the center oval to darken the chrome T without adversely affecting the sensor (a couple members have done that) which might improve the look of the front by hiding that last bit of chrome.
    Sorry you were in a wreck but glad the shop is working with you and giving you choices.
