A sort of silly, but serious question on badges

I am considering peeling off the TRDOR rear side decals for a cleaner look. But I am considering getting the aftermarket door badges like the one below. I go back and forth though because A) I don't want it to look dumb, and mainly B) Don't want to look like I'm a Pro wannabe!
I really wish it came this way from the factory, looks super clean, but don't want to look chintzy. What say you?

 

Do it. People may hate you. Good

 

It really gives it that upscale “autozone” look that everyone is after

 

I was never a fan of adding decals and badges to a truck,removing them for sure. Just do what you want to your truck

 

It’s your truck, make it the way you want.

Unless you’re making payments for me you get no say in how it looks.

 

Some have a need to be recognized as a bad ass....more decals the better.

 

I was hoping more for the Pep Boys look, but sadly most of those have gone under in my area

 

Hard no

 

Decals are fucking dumb, screamed this guy who put way too many decals on everything.

 

Saw this in another thread. Don't go down this rabbit hole.

 

^^ That is a sobering picture, I have much to ponder!

 

No

 

Do what YOU like. I kind of like that badge on the door, but to me it is too bulky. It would look better if it was smaller.

 

i say pass on it... cheapens the look. same thing for stickers...

 

I wonder what brand of truck that is?

 

Go nude! No badges at all!

 

I went a different route.


I like my truck all whored up.

 

Do it man. People will have their opinions. I de-badged my TRD Sport 4x4 because I hate stickers on my vehicles, factory or otherwise. I'm sure there is some base SR5 driver saying I'm a "Wannabe".

 

As the original TRD Bro... I say no badge. I enjoyed mine while it was humorous and unique, but it's become overdone and tired... because you asked, I say go naked.



I'd remove mine... but now I'm concerned the paint has faded and it'll leave a ghost outline.

Have this on the tailgate.



Fuck those "plain truck" people, let your freak flag fly.
