    9/10th's of the way done with mine. Just waiting for the paint to dry on the last 2 badges. Other badges are done and back on and look great! Easy mod for almost anyone to do. Thanks for the write up!

    Finally got some pics...
    I did all the chrome badges, the front emblem, and the Toyota logos on the stock rims... I love it, and I can't believe how easy it was...

    It is amazing how black badges can make
    your truck that much more killer.

    Dude I'm digging the caps on your wheels.
    Give yourself a pat on the back, bang up job.

    I don't know if it's because I have an '09 and the glue is not dried all the way but once I got the emblems off, I just sprayed the adhesive with WD-40 and it just peeled off.

    You guys think it would look corny/dumb to just black out the front surround grille and emblem and leave the rest of the emblems chrome?

    where can i get this "adhesion promoter"? is it absolutely necessary or is the krylon fusion itself good enough?

    Just spent my friday night debadging, painting, and rebadging... went black for my 07 silver tacoma. Followed your write up and it looks great! Thanks!!! :thumbsup: My first mod...

    edit: oh, I decided to ditch the small "TOYOTA" emblem in the back... was thinking about possibly putting it in my hood scoop.. anyone seen that done? I may just try it and see if I like it... mainly just don't want to cut more 3M tape... that took a while!

    I spent my whole saturday day to debadge. Will be painting and re-badging this week. I am so stoked for it. Is it necessary to have krylon fusion, or would regular krylon work? Also, how do you get the grille off, and/or the toyota emblem? This is my first mod to my truck and I know it's going to be killer thanks for the great write-up and will post pics once it's finished!

    Has anyone done black on black? I have a black sand pearl taco and am wondering if the badges would look good either gloss or satin black or should I just debadge and leave them off?

    My wife loves red she would probably go for it. I think I'd rather stick to black.
