    Hey guys,

    I'm currently in the process of doing some retrofits and I cannot for the life of me make up my mind what color scheme I want to go with.

    MGM Tundra with pro grille, everything will be color matched soon so no more chrome.

    I'm torn between
    - MGM reflector bowl, with black headlight bezel and projector shroud
    - MGM Projector shroud, with black headlight bezel and bowl
    - MGM Headlight Bezel, black bowl and shroud
    - MGM Headlight bezel and shroud, Black bowl

    Any photo's you've got or suggestions are greatly appreciated!

    There are a bunch of tundra retrofits you can find on google for examples. Here are a couple I’ve done. Personally I like gloss black with color matched pieces. Most do flat black. Keep in mind that once the clear lens goes back on, the separation of color becomes blurred. So hold your lens over your assembly to see if you like it. Good luck bro!

    Thank you for the tip, I had been wondering about that, as MGM and flat black would look pretty damn close. I didn't even think about the impact that the clear lens would have on it.

    Thanks for the input guys, keep the photos and suggestions rolling!
