    I de-badged because I didn't want TuRD on the side of my truck. Toyota really didn't think that one through. "SPORTy TuRD" yeah great.

    All 3 supercharged w/ other performance mods.
    I’m guessing they didn’t fancy selling a large quantity of trucks to jr high students.

    It doesn't bother me, but it seems kind of pointless.

    Now, it's funny if it's upbadging for a different brand. If someone puts an AMG badge on a Tacoma, I will definitely laugh.

    @oconnor, you must have really struck a nerve with this guy and his TRD emblems.

    Coming from the guy who uses the word "retarded" freely on forums :rofl:

    I thinks it's fine. Everyone should make their vehicle their own. It's just like in the late 80's early 90's when people were buying Mustang LX some would be taking off the 5.0 badges and some were putting them on. One person would want the sleeper and one person would want to look faster but the exhaust would tell who is who.

    Locally a certain race of people always put M3/m5 on non M cars, and AMG badge on non AMG cars. Happening for 10+ years. Same group....

    Same here. I do exactly the same. However, I got tail badges for my new 21, due to the stamping. Can't remove it, so at least figure with the black make it look better. Otherwise I do exactly what you do 100% of the time

    I thoughtlessly ruined a decal he had taken so much pride in. Now all he sees is TuRD.

    I tweak my neck every time a truck with a "Bro" grille passes me. I'm trying to figure out if it's the real deal or not... :notsure:
