    I'm not fond of the TRD Off Road sticker on the side of the box... I know I can remove it, but are there any reasons NOT to remove it?

    Your frame will rust instantly.



    But no, it's personal preference you did pay a pretty penny for that lovely sticker though if you look back at your invoice of the purchase, but if you prefer your vehicle without it then rock on and get the sticker off. If you wait till years later your in risk of the paint being a different shade from it not having direct sunlight on it, so now would be the time.

    It will no longer be a TRD package if the sticker is gone.

    I needed to add TRDs to my wheels, thought the stickers on the bed weren't sufficient.

    I'm TRD saturated now. ...:devil:

    It's only needed on the dealer lot so that you feel like the extra $12,000 you just spent over the base is worth it.
    You can remove it now.:drunk::drunk::drunk:

    Workin' on it....
    Only one that I can think of is that if your truck is several years old, perhaps the paint may have sun-faded slightly less under the sticker than the rest of the vehicle...:notsure:

    The only reason not the remove is. The next person who might buy it off of might want a decal on it. If that's the case a decal can always be put back on.

    Pulled mine off as soon as I got home from picking the truck up at the dealer. No regrets. In fact I'd like to continue the downgrade at some point with an SR grill...

    Use a hair dryer and it comes right off. Just get a fingernail under one end, and pull away! All while warming it with the hairdryer. Comes right off and if it leaves any residue, just use some goo gone.
