2016 Taco OffRoad do i remove pin stripes and mud flaps?

i'm thinking of removing mud flaps and pin stripes???

 

I'm confused

 

Yes remove both!

 

old man racing stripes? Yes.

Mud flaps? nah. not unless you wheel a lot and they get in the way. Protect your paint from chips and throw less rocks at the poor people driving behind you. Just think... sometimes that vehicle behind you is going to be a Tacoma. Why would you want to break that tacoma's windshield.

I have better places for my money than windshield replacements. So does everyone else.

 

What state did you buythat in?

 

I say loose the stripes, but keep the flaps no doubt.

 

What pin stripes...?

 

An eraser wheel is best for pinstripe removal.

They're also pretty new, so you could try a razor blade first to peel one of the edges on the end and you could probably peel them off by hand.

 

What clown put pin stripes on a TRD OR??? WTF?? It's obviously a port add on but you may have the first and only one of those from the dealer? In all seriousness, keep the mudflaps.. The pinstripes should peel off.. Be careful with the eraser wheel (they rock) but can damage paint FYI... It was old paint but I did it!!!

 

that's what insurance is for

 

Remove them both!!

I'm getting the front two windows tinted today. I plan to remove the stripes while in his heated shop. I'll post before and after pics. Thanks for the help, I'm not sure why their even on there.

Some one else ordered the truck then couldn't buy it,

 

Use a blow dryer, heat up the stripe and it will be off in no time.

 

This. The stripe has been on the truck such little time that a little heat and you should be able to peel it off. Use a little Goof Off if residue remains, wash and then wax. I don't think you'd need an eraser wheel at this point with the truck being so new. However for stubborn graphics, like baked on TRD stickers, the eraser wheel is AWESOME.

 

what brilliant dealer thought....hey pin stripes......good idea. Silly little dealer.

 

^ I like pinstripes myself if they are done right. They help highlight the body lines on the truck.

 

Here's a couple of better pictures of the stripes.

 

Yea, I like the stripes on your truck man. If you want to take them off then I would heat them up with a blow dryer and slowly peel them off. Be careful not to overheat the paint though. Really nice truck by the way, I love that silver.

 

I like them too but then again, I'm an old man.

Get the fuck off my lawn....
