Dipped badges or remove them?

Hey world,

I'm caught between dipping the hideous Chrome badges on my grey Taco either black, red or blue and doing some matching vinyl door sill, dashboard, glove box and interior seats to match it. Wife doesn't think red will look that good, she likes the idea of blue which I don't think would look good and then other folks have said just black out everything with the grey. I was wanting to get a Red white and blue flag and star themed grill insert as well as the tailgate insert and then match the badges and in the inside to those as well.

What are your guys' thoughts on all of that? Any photos to show as a reference?

Below are examples of what I wanted to do with the grill and tailgate.


Thanks!

 

IMHO, debadge and be done with it.

 

That's the option I'm most considering. Thanks.

 

Debadge is what I vote for

 

It's kind of tacky to me. But if you like it... f the rest of humanity.

In order of least to most tacky in flag color scheme:
Grill
Badges (either black or remove... blue and or red will look weird)
tailgate (looks especially weird as it's not large enough for a fuller flag look)
