    I've said it twice, and I'll say it again: no one is upset, no one is telling you what to do, and no one is losing sleep over this. I saw - for the first time - a non-Pro Tacoma with a Pro badge on it when I created this thread.

    I had never seen that before and it caught my attention. Again, like I said when I first started the thread, it made me wonder why someone would want to do that. I have a Sport and never thought to label it something else. Was curious as to what others thought about this, so I started a conversation about it.

    There have been some very thoughtful points from either side, and then comments like yours...

    My wife won't allow me to rebadge her as a FauxPro either. Not anymore. Which is fine, I prefer to rebadge her a strict teacher. Occasionally a maid.

    There’s a difference between installing TRD parts, an upgraded branding of toyota parts, and slapping on a TRD Pro or, even worse, “pro style” badge. I feel like some folks are putting them both in the same bucket. TRD skid plate and wheels isn’t the same as a badge claiming it’s the top end trim of the model.

    I removed all badges, vinyls on pillars and bed. Added an OE TRD badge from a 4R I believe. Looked good when I had Pro wheels on. Now I’m either going to remove or replace with a black version.

    That looks clean. I'm thinking I should remove my 4x4 bed sticker as well.

    TRD crap on the aftermarket is an accessory that IMO can be put on anything Toyota. Just like BMW’s M-Sport accessories. The badges that denote a specific trim level on a “lower” trim level is a different story. Since all Tacomas are super affordable I can’t see why anyone would even attempt to mess around with badges to make someone think they spent a couple grand more.

    I just wanted something unique so I put this on. It's sorta ambiguous I guess but the truck is a TRD OR. I removed all the other badges and vinyl from the truck.
