    Okay I'm adding the black letter inserts to the tailgate and have decided to debadge the chrome "V6" and the "Tacoma". Should I leave the "TRD 4X4 Off Road" decal on or off? I'm moving towards the clean look but is it clean enough with the decal on? I really like the black accent against the silver color. Keep in mind I'll be putting on a Marine Corps decal on the driver side rear window.

    Do whatever makes you happy.

    If you want me to make that decision for you, you'll need to sign over the truck to me first :).

    You paid extra for that decal. I'd keep it. Personally I love mine on my MGM. There's also someone around this forum that makes some sweet custom "TRD Off Road" badging.

    Remove it. It's nice to have a clean solid color without a turd sticker.

    That’s why you leave them on. People are confused enough already but do what you like

    Turn your chrome tip exhaust clamp to the front so you can't see it.

    Still stock completely capable!
    I took my badges off but left the sticker on .. Thought I would leave it for a few weeks and see if I wanted to take it off later. But honestly I LOVE IT!!! For me personally it finishes the truck (stock wise)! But you will know when the time comes what is right for YOUR baby!
