    Decal remover spray. Thats how mine looked when I removed mine. I don't remember what brand I used, but it dissolved the residue and I was able to remove it easily with my thumb.

    did this two weeks ago on my 2006 SR5. I consider this a recommended item to install. Now I need to get motivated to install the hood light!

    I first drove it to work, then I checked in on TacomaWorld a few times while I was there, and next, on the way home, I stopped at the mailbox at the end of the driveway to find three packages of Tacoma related parts for future mods that I will post here.

    That was all said in one sentence that was grammatically correct and punctuated correctly for all of you language Nazis.

    Enough to make it a lot of fun!
    Looks interesting. Just wondering how you double swing-out will work. Are going to over lap them or latch in the center?

    I used Goo Gone and now the inside feels like it is embedded into the paint and the outer dark part is elevated

    I had originally used a heat gun to remove the sticker and it worked perfectly on one side20151016_183802.jpg it is just the one side that came out bad. Im not trying to go to an auto body shop or the dealership

    Probably been repainted on that side and didn't remove the decal before they did it.
    Sorry meant the other side.
