Remove trd sticker or keep?

so I need help here, should I remove the factory TRDOR sticker or keep it? I also want to get a black rear bumper, either find one off a Sport model or paint it to match. I have done some editing to provide an idea of what it would look like with sticker removed and black bumper vs. how it sits right now...

Current pic:

 

All depends on you, though given those wheels and the nerf steps and the light hoop up front it appears you are more clean and street look oriented than offroad so I'd probably remove it, or trim it so it only says TRD with the Toyota and Off-Road gone.

I completely debadged my truck and did the Satoshi grille mod, only identifying mark on it now is the TRD Off-Road stickers on each side.

Whatever you do, don't try to paint the chrome, it wont stick and will quickly chip and look awful.

Leave it, wrap it, or replace it.

 

I would take the sticker and door badge off. Also definitely black out bumper. If you like the TRD sticker there are plenty of options to change the color or style.

 

If you don't like that one get a custom one.

Does great work. Search for his thread.

 

Yeah definitely learning toward the clean look. The previous owner installed the bill bar and step bars. Recently I did the Bilsteins and 285 all terrains.

 

De-Badged and de-stickered.

 

Leaning toward removing

 

You from GA? I'll have a black sport bumper for you at some point in the year.

 

To me the question is what's on the vehicle that was actually developed in Toyota Racing?

So I'd remove it.

'Cause nothing.

 

I like your edited view with the TRD sticker removed better. That said I am not a big fan of a totally Blacked out truck. Or car or anything for that matter. For my .02 I would remove it and get a more subdued custom decal from one of the Vendors on TW that represents your style and matches more of the Black out look your after but adds a little eye candy to the rear.

Something in Flat Black with just a small pop of color might look cool.

 

I love the debadged look...but, do whatever you want.

 

Delete. Looks cleaner on our Tacos but whatever floats yer boat.

 

What they said. He did mine, and I like it.

 

Remove it...then hit up @CBoy808 for a custom decal which better suits you. I love the one he designed for me.

 

Sharp lookin' rig TA.

 

Thank you Sir.

 

The rear E-Locker.

 

It’s been on there for a while, any concerns about etching?

 

I had 170kon my 2010 when I debadged and de pinstriped, I had to cut compound polish the areas I removed them from but I've never seen any etching or ghosting.
