    Both look awesome. I debated going cement but I wemt with MGM which was my top choice. Black always looks good but it does get dirty quick and I feel like I can see paint swirls easier.

    Can’t go wrong either way. Just look at JoshuaA’s black Tundra. Thing is mean

    I can go a few weeks or longer without washing my cement toy. (I do keep wax on it) I've owned a black tundra and I've owned several black vehicles and honestly they do look really good when clean but I got tired of having to wash and detail for hours every week.

    Edit: Also the chrome does not look good on cement as others have mentioned I did dechrome the front of the truck. Most body shops will not color match chrome plastic some will. @Roman can hook you up with cement mirror caps, hood buldge, and surround but have to purchase with insert (sale insert). Possibly door handles also. Spark parts for cement front bumper ends. Dechrome approx $1200

    Or have a shop do it. I know its a brandnew truck. I dechromed mine within a 100 miles as I do not like chrome.

    Hasn't been washed in 6 weeks in this photo

    I got a black tundra. I no longer fret in keeping it squeaky clean. Impossible. Just yesterday I noticed a 4 foot long bird dropping. I think the bird had diarrhea. There is small specks in the poop. Maybe insects or seeds. I asked myself, why in the hell does that diarrhea bird skip 2 white F150s to crap on my black truck. Wtf. Racist diarrhea bird.

    Well that sucks for for others that didn’t get your kit yet. I’m still running version one. The updated one I’ll save for now. I don’t have a lift or anything. Sorry you got hassled. You did a great job and saved me money. I will always appreciate it much. If your ever in Fredericksburg Virginia area, steaks on me.

    So you guys are going to think I’m crazy. So after all of this I got nervous about black and unsure about Cement. Went on another dealer site and they had the same truck in MGM like I’ve always wanted. I couldn’t see paying this much without getting exactly what I wanted. Emailed the online sales agent and they got me a better deal by $500 and adding the predator bars and the black tailgate emblem letters. So I went in and did the paperwork tonight and this will be all mine tomorrow after they get the step bars installed. 2018 Limited CM 4x4 in magnetic gray metallic!359F5E93-A0D5-4CBC-AC49-37591CAC22EC.jpg

    I test drove my truck in cement color. I didn’t mind it one bit but my wife HATED it! I had my heart set on inferno anyway, and ended up with the same truck in inferno. Don’t regret it one bit. We have a black 4Runner and it looks dirty all the time. I had a black mustang (Friday fun car) and it looked good but showed swirls and dirt all the time too. Don’t think I’d ever go for a black vehicle for my DD.

    Inferno was my first choice. I like my cement a lot but inferno with black is badass.

    I have the same black color Tundra and I am not going to lie, it’s the prettiest color whenever it’s clean. However, outside of white, it’s the hardest color to keep clean. I knew about that issue long before I bought my truck, but, it was a no-brainer for me....Black was exactly what I wanted and I got it.
