    I put on vinyl stickers that peel right off when I want to go back to stock (or when I have to return my leased truck... LOL. If I don't decide to keep it).

    What did you use to blackout your rims? Did you buy the blackout overlay emblem covers, or are those like black painted from the factor for the "Tacoma" emblem on the sides?

    I used the vinyl from a member on here through their e-bay site on the wheels. The logos came with the blackout package from the factory:thumbsup: Going to either have the wheels permanently powder coated or maybe get new aftermarkets or go with the Pro Tacoma wheels in the near future...

    definitely take off the sticker on the bed. looks so much better without it. the black tacoma on the door isn't too bad. I left mine. I peeled the b pillar vinyl between the doors. i love the look.

    You should change out your lugs to black too. I went to my dealer and purchased a bag of 24 for around $44. No regrets!!

    I've really struggled with this dilemma! And in every possible combination of what to keep and what to lose. I even purchased a new set of rear TRD 4X4 Offroad bed stickers in matte black that are sitting in my room... I just got some new TRD Tacoma rims for Christmas and I'm impatiently waiting to put some newer bigger rubber on there. I think after that I will decide what to do with the badging and stickers...
    **Me personally, I like the vinyl between the doors...at least on my truck. I have seen others who have removed it and it looks good.**
