    How long can you wait to debadge a Tacoma mine is a 06 and I was wondering if I can remove and you can't ever tell they were ever there?

    Also depends on the color of your truck. Lighter colors tend to be easier to debadge.

    Depends if its been garaged or sun-baked. If your truck looks a little faded you will be able to tell but as stated before lighter colors show much less.

    My 2011 Superwhite came out perfect, used 80lb test and "cut" the badges off then used a hair dryer to peel off the remaining adhesive

    When you guys debadge do you debadge everything? I debadged the tailgate entirely but that's it. Left the side badges and TRD decals. There was just too much chrome on the back, especially with "Prerunner"

    I was going to debadge everything except for the Tacoma on the tailgate and the front doors and then black them out

    You should be good... White is really good at not showing minor flaws. Just get some goo gone to get rid of any excess adhesive, then hit it with some polishing compound, then wax and you'll be set.

    Removed coal filter, Also installed AFE air filter. Roof rack with custom diamond plate air diverter.
    Did you guys pry them off or did you use something to help soften the glue first? I would like to take them off whole.

    Fishing line or thick floss takes them right off. If its a warm day out y I u ciuld leave the truck out in the sun to help make the glue a little pliable.

    Tone Loc and Debarge? I don't understand this thread. Is this a new 80's throw back mod?

    Used a hair dryer, dental floss, and goo off. You could tell, but I have a buffer/polisher. So I took care of that, easy easy
