    Partially debadged my Tacoma today. Took off the "V6" and the "Toyota". Debating about removing the Tacoma emblem too or going a different route. What do you guys think?

    So much easier to clean without the free advertising on the truck. Just my opinion though. :thumbsup:

    I took all mine off. Just trying to decide if I want to remove the TRD sticker. I like it better with the emblems off. Truck looks cleaner.

    I do not like the "font" that Toyota has been using for the last decade or so. I plan to remove all badges and replace the mudflaps with more flexible ones with the old school "4WD" on them.

    I took everything off, but the "Tacoma" and added some TRD emblem off ebay.
    I left the door ones on, but the tailgate used to looked like a bilboard lol.
