    Specifically for me, will be the Depends poll option. I remove all badges as much as I possibly can without needing to do paint and body work, especially the 3D/raised badges. The only one I let slide was the TRD bed side stickers as the wife wanted to keep them (not raised/3D so it didn't bother me as much), but if it were solely up to me, those would be gone, too.

    This truck comes with A LOT of badging. It says Tacoma 3 times, model trim, 4x4, V6, etc. A bit ridiculous.

    I just left the Tacoma badges on the sides and the V6 emblem on the back, and plastidipped all three. Everything else came off, including the TRD Sport stickers from the bedsides.

    The badges don't bother me, it's the chrome I don't like. Had mine come black I would have probably left them on

    Apparently, it mattered enough for you to type a comment about it.

    I don't mind minimal badges, as mentioned above, don't care for them in chrome though.

    I actually prefer the chrome 3d badges if they are small..... I don't really care for the giant stickers they stick on the side of the TRD trucks.

    I also like a clean (without badges) look.

    I was ashamed of the v6 badge and no amount of sharpie made the 6 turn into an 8, so it had to go.

    I don't mind the TRD Off-Road part so much, though I've considered taking them off.. I do hate it when dealer's plaster their effin name all over your truck like they still own it. I ensure that that is removed before I sign for delivery. License Plate frames, stencils, decals, etc. get chucked.

    Nobody gets free advertising from me.

    Just a option for the pole - instead of yes, no - add I can roll either way. I suppose you could put this under "Depends"

    It's really not too bad. I'd never done it before, took me less than an hour to take the badges/vinyl off and clean it up with goo-gone. Wish I'd realized it was that easy with previous vehicles.
