    I've got a silver taco as well. Once the weather warms up a little and I can clean all the road crap off it, I'm going to debadge for a while. Back in December I bought some black vinyl badges from sockmonkey and I want to put them on, but I think before I put those on I'll keep it debadged for a while and see how I like it.
    Either way I don't like the factory badges. They are too bulky/cheap lookin'

    "See you at the crossroads, crossroads." Old school. I was in middle school when that hit was on the radio.

    You should black it out on one side then fully remove them on the other. See which one you like better.

    Ha, that was good. Hell, I didn't even think to make them black. It would definitely set the truck of especially with the black rims and all. Dammit! even if I wanted to do it now I would have to find my badges !!
