What is your take on debadging?

Absolutely^^^^ Didn't know if I would like it after I debadged years ago, but after the first clay bar/wax, heck yeah. Plus, the stealth look rules. "We don't need no stinking badges!" People know the look of the best truck on the planet when it approaches them!

 

I wasn't sure if I wanted to debadge or paint them black. So I painted them with black "plasti-dip," it looks awesome and I love it!!!

Good thing about the plastidip is if you don't like the look of it you can just peel it off. I highly recommend giving it a try, $5 a can at Home Depot, you can't go wrong

 

I will be debadging my tailgate. I know what model, make, and motor my truck has.

 

I've debadged every vehicle I've ever owned. '74 Nova, 97 Ram 1500, 99 Ram 1500, 04 Focus and now this. It's easy and I really like the clean look.

 

Gotta agree on this. Same goes for the BMW guys having a 318, 325i, and 525i.

 

Just debadged mine last night. Was on the fence about it initially. Plan was to take them off and paint them black then reattach them. I was amazed on how much better the truck looked with out them that I left them all off.

 

What should I do if I want to take off the badges and paint them? How and what would I use to paint them and put them back on?

 

Start reading my man

 

Gotta agree with this as well. My microfiber towel and even the wash mit will get caught on the badges all the time. Just had the tailgate repainted so i told the guy to leave the badges off, will be debadging the doors soon. But I am keeping the TRD OR stickers on the side of the bed. Looks good with the white lettered tires IMO

 

I keep mine. Hell the 94 I am restoring will be debadged to paint and I will put them back on.

 

I prefer to keep my badges, think that is the custom around here. Only ever seen one debadged Taco in Montana so far. "Tacoma" is a boss name, I like people to see it on my doors when I pull up next to them. Majority of people can't even tell what a car is without looking at the badges anyway. I know people that can't tell a Silverado from a Corolla, it's that bad lol.

 

I already know what I bought, so the badges can come off.

No need for me to advertise for toyota or any other added decal/badge on the truck.

 

I like to advertise what I drive

Lucky to have TOYOTA in gigantic letters on me tailgate.
