    I have a 2012 Double Cab in Pyrite Mica. I plan on debadging this weekend. But don't know if I should or at what level I should do it. Thanks for your input and opinions.

    Black may be option if I do not like the debadge look afterwards. I have black steps and am blacking out rims soon too.

    Nice looking there t@co pr3runn3r

    That's what I'm doing. Stickers are going and I'm keeping the three 'tacoma' badges (doors and tailgate), painting them black. Everything else is going.

    I picked take it all off - what I really meant was remove the stickers, and the emblems, and then paint the Tacoma emblems only and put them back on. So like lose the sr5 and v6 emblems and all that.

    I'm still undecided about the PreRunner V6 badges, they might go as well.
