    Well I decided after wanting to do it forever I would black out my badges. After I started putting them all back on I decided not to put the TOYOTA back on, like many other members. I really love older cars and alot of them have the make or model on the glovebox so after thinking about it I figured what the hell. I went for it and I really like it. Let me know what you think. It looks crooked because I took the pictures fast sorry.

    The black out looks good. I also removed the "Toyota" from the tailgate. The jury is still out on the glovebox.

    Badges look good. Don't really care for the glovebox though. But as long as you like it that's all that matters.

    "Saw" behind the badge with some fishing line. Heating them up with a hairdryer can help too.

    I'm not feeling the love from the glovebox , but as others have said , who cares what we think , it's your truck .

    Blacked out badges look great on your rig .

    thanks for all the comments. I didnt expect the response to the glovebox to be great haha. I really like it though and I figured I could always get rid of it if it isnt what I wanted in the future. I am really happy I did this mod though. Love the way it turned out

    looks good. i like the blacked out badges on that color. I got the BSP badges from Toyota and was going to put them on today but the hail storm kinda delayed my plans for modding my truck for what looks like could be the next few months :(
