    All the things!
    Most people use a vinyl film to cover the logo... it should have zero impact on the sensor.

    I had mine tinted with 18-20% and it made a big difference IMO. Subdued to chrome a lot.

    I hope it’s not a vinyl wrap or paint. Isn’t the sensor right behind it. I don’t think it should be blocked if you want the sensor to work.

    Vinyl/wrap should be fine. That's a radar sensor, which uses radio waves, so they can pass through thin materials like that. If it is solid like metal or plastic, then that would be an issue. I have ppf over my sensor/emblem...no issues at all.

    This is my truck and what I used. The emblem is still visible but it dulls it down. No issues with TSS.

    You know it.

    Oh yeah, TacomaWorld seems downright civilized compared to the Tex.. lol

    I find it funny all the effort I spent to get my Jetta low, and how many of those VR6 Lips I replaced.. literally the exact same thing as the chin spoiler I pulled off the Tacoma.
    Now if I could just figure out a boser..

    We were 100% part of the chaos on Vortex back in the day. The whole Waterfest burnout hotels and other stuff could be traced back to some of us. Hoonigan was basically born from that era of Vortex. But your lucky you just had the VR6 lip. If you had a VR6 you'd have been replacing oil pans every time you did the lip.
