    All the things!
    It's not a PRO badge... it's a PRO badge that has been modified to say "BRO". I think of it as a spoof of the Pro model. I've done so much to my truck to make it equivalent to a Pro model and a lot of those mods are considered "Bro" mods.

    I like some aspects of the Pro, but at the time (2017) I hated the Pro model colors and wanted a sunroof. Trust me, I would have spent far less buying a Pro, than modding my OR.

    I think you should do whatever you want to do to your truck.

    Yeah man, put them badges on. I need a
    Thats pretty damn clean. Definitely not a posser.

    Posser = someone that miss labels their truck as a different (higher) trim.

    Yours says sport, not Pro.

    Maybe Toyota will see this and make these badges for all trims.

    I hope not. The Pro (top dog) should remain exclusive.

    That badge style is one of the small things that sets it apart.

    That is true. Personally the pro badge reminds me of a toy but I know a lot of people really like the look.

    TRD Pros are toys in the same sense that a corvette can be a toy. Its too nice of a vehicle to be a regular (point A to B) automobile.

    I like that badge a lot but would NEVER put it on my Off Road.

    I say, rep what you have. And be proud of it. Dont pretend to have something you dont. The only person you would be fooling is yourself.

    4R Pro wheels, black flares on a white sport, blacked out scoop, Pro grille, faux badge. The evidence is sure piling up, not so much in your favor.

    "Doesn't say Pro" is the equivalent of "it's not gay if there is no eye contact."

    Always thought these badges were hideous on the pros. I would be debadging these immediately if I had a one. They look like such afterthoughts...Like a giant 3D peel off sticker from a coloring book. Lol

    well, it wasnt my fault toyota didnt make a TRD SPORT look like how i wanted it to look like.. thats why theres a thing we call MODIFICATION! you modify your truck to however you want them to look like. i like how the TRD PRO looks like but certainly not willing to pay the extra 10k for suspension and cosmetics. plus, its the fun of putting them together that more important for me.

    lets see how your ENTRY LEVEL SR look like? =)

    Well, you asked if you were a "proser", and I did not. The answer is a resounding yes.

    As for my truck, not nearly in the same universe of proser as you are ... but I admittedly am guilty as well. If you didn't want an answer, why did you ask the question?
