Preference: Badged or Debadged..?

Rebadged with metal retro badges

 

I like mine debadged

 

I debadged completely within a few weeks of taking delivery. Much cleaner looking in my opinion.

 

While I like the retro badges a lot, I didn't want grit/salt/etc. getting between the badges and the paint and being naughty.

 

In order to see heads explode on TW concerning badging/debadging:

buy a Pro and debadge it.
buy an OR debadge it for two months, then add PRO badges
buy and SR5, add the PRO grill, then add Pro Badges on the door. It's all the same.

 

Never badged.
SX package.

 

You wouldn’t like this

 

It says Tacoma on the tailgate....lol. Besides that, debadging mine when the weather warms up. Love the clean look. TRD Stickers are already removed.

 

I detest chrome in all its forms. I just got started debadging mine. Just have the front doors left now.

I’ve debadge everything I ever own usually as soon as I get it home from buying it. I’ve never liked car badging as I feel it takes away from the lines of the vehicle. My neighbor’s best friend has a Tacoma and was confused of which one that I got since I removed the TRD off road stickers

 

Debage was the first and cheapest thing I ever did to the Tacoma. Think I made it two days before they were gone.

 

Looking good! I’m thinking of doing the window vinyl on my super white. I’m still up I’m the air on this, but I think I’ll go for it once it warms up a little.

I got tired of the black vinyl getting fingerprints all over it and it started to look faded so I did away with it. I was on the fence at first but I’m glad I removed it.

 

Completely debagded and looking good

 

Badges? What badges? We don’t need no stinking badges.

 

Debadged, devinyled, and destickered. I call it, "naked"

 

Debadged, then rebadged,


Still no Tacoma on the doors though

 

The chrome AC vent accents, the chrome cupholder accents, the chrome badge on the steering wheel bug me more than is healthy

 

Yeah, I can see that. That's more work than I feel up to tackling for now. Fortunately mine only has the chrome around the AC vents and the logo on the steering wheel. I still have to get some fishing line to pull the giant logos off of the front doors but I'm much happier now that I've taken off 3 of the 5 chrome badges.
