Debadged? Dechromed? What and How - Show your Pictures

You have a TRD Sport so you have no chrome already.

 

Removed all the chrome emblems, stuck on a TRD emblem and dipped the grill emblem today.

 

yes I do. The badges.

 

Anyone hydrodip their emblems?

 

My '12 TRD Sport has the OEM badges and decals removed with retro "TOYOTA" and "[4]WHEEL DRIVE" decals on the tailgate. It's different look, but it fits the build theme of the truck and I like it.

 

Nice, I did early 4x4 on my fenders

 

The PO debadged and had a decal shop in Atlanta, GA cut and install the retro decals. Someone out there may produce these, but any decal/vinyl shop in your area could probably tackle the job.

 

After I got fiberglass bedsides the "TRD off-road" decal was on my stock bedsides that I sold. I decided to just take a few off from the tailgate and left just the "Tacoma" part on the tailgate/doors and added a "TRD" emblem on the tailgate.
I used a heatgun and floss I got from the dentist lol. Fishing line would of been better... There's a few debadging videos on youtube to show you how they did it.
Then after I got the badges off I used googone to get the glue off and then cut, buff and polish the area.

 

Man I LOVE the retro look! Send a file? I cut stickers.
Need the file for the emblem so I can recreate it.

 

The old Toyota is awesome. Like it a lot.

 

or at least the font

 

found it

 

I wish I had the file, but like I said in my earlier post, the PO of my truck did this. It should be simple to duplicate though. Pheonix Graphics may have some photos on their site. I know when I was in the Jeep community, they had exact replicas of OEM Jeep decals going back to the first gen CJs.
