    3-4 months away from getting my 2022 Midnight Black TDR OR 4x4

    Haven't found a color specific thread on the Midnight black!
    Was hoping to see how some of you dealt with chrome delete. Black badges on black would look so so but boy do I hate chrome.

    Post your pics even though they prob won't do justice.

    He’s one of mine before I lifted it and installed the dual exhaust.

    OEM black emblems (not overlays), black door handles, nightshade grill, black trim around fog lights. Almost done with blacking out interior.

    So... It's a sparkly blue base black? Probably pretty hard to capture without the right lighting and macro, but would be nice to see a comparison. I'm just waiting for the Vantablack Tacoma.

    You can see the flakes here and maybe a blue tint, this is my door panel after a fresh was and turtle wet wax spray and chemical guys quick ceramic spray. I can’t remember what it’s called…
