    The red matches all of the other red on the pro. That's literally TRD pro red. It matches the red on the rims. It matches the red in the interior. It matches the optional graphics package. But yeah, taking them off is a personal choice as much as putting them on is.

    I get it. It matches the other "stuff" but doesn't really match the truck overall to me. Just because it's Toyotas colour doesn't mean it has to be there. I, personally, just don't think the red goes with certain trucks. It's the reason I don't have any red in my interior and the centre caps will be gone soon too.

    Im just busting balls anyway.... It was tongue in cheek saying I "can't believe" it.

    I'll stand by that no one should like fake bolts though. It's a dumb trend that needs to go away.

    I decided to drill out the fake fasteners and use real black oxide allen head sheet metal screws to attach into the door for that "real bolt" effect! :headbang:


    These guys 'get it!' :thumbsup:

    I enjoy it, a little JDM styling for the truck people. Mint and cinnamon.

    I vote no on pro badges on a non pro truck. I find it an odd habit regardless of make model. I’ve seen this in just about every group of enthusiasts since I got into modifying cars.

    Can you supply me with a source for such awesomeness? I would like to apply this immediately under my new badges.

    I parked next to a Blue Sport (for height comparison) and noticed the same badging as yours as I opened my door...except it was badged for a TRD Sport. Very Nice badge!!!

    He put his in an odd spot. On the Pro, they go under the mirror. Another twist on "making it your own" I 'spose.

    wow that's 20hp more than the pro and even more travel than the pro as well. Worth it for the price of a $50 badge:D

    I have come to the conclusion that some people put far to much thought into what makes other people happy.

    Go on with your bad self TRD Pro Badged TRD Off-Road guy .... get some.

    For me it's not that. I have no problem with anyone doing anything to their vehicle for their own satisfaction. However, often, people that rebadge are looking to make money off the perceived increased value.

    Yeah, it was sporting lots of Chrome...which I just scoffed at! lol

    The more I see Tacos with lifts, the more I'm debating whether I want to go that route.

    I have time to think about it...
