    Maybe back to black, 303 or a similar product. Or heat’em up and peal’em off.

    The company that makes screen protectors for our gauges and radios also makes one for that trim. I don't know if it will hide the fading. The piece itself is just a sticker so you may be able to replace it.

    You can peel and replace with new OEM, or just leave off if you like the look.

    They need to be replaced you won’t revive them. Mine did the same less than three years old. It kind of annoys me because there’s no excuse for trim delaminating on a 2020 vehicle. You should see my tonneau cover, it looks 15 years old.

    LS1 swap with nitros.
    A good wax or ceramic coating will bring them back to new. Otherwise remove them and put on new ones. They are just large stickers.

    Lot's of subtle things along with All Terrain Tires. Just enough to keep it very clean but subtly different than any others I've seen.
    I appreciate this thread. My truck is white and everything else is black. The rims, window tint, Bed cover etc. I'm wondering if it will look good without them. I do know it's the only eyesore left on my truck and I can only imagine how much the replacements cost from the dealership. Also I just bought the truck and it's a 2020 so these stickers broke down in record time.
    I'd love to see a picture or hear from someone who just removed them permanently.

    Do you have a picture of a Tacoma with them removed? I'd love see it.

    Looks like some neglect. A little better care will serve you well. A little polish will clean them up. Mine are still new looking with a weekly wash and some Cermaic protection.

    Thank you for your input.
    I’m wondering if I applied a good ceramic wax that would make a difference.

    What decision did you make on the trim? Replace, remove or restore?

    If you opt to restore, you may want to try the product below. It does a good job for months and does not wash off at car washes.

    I haven’t really. Processing all the input which I appreciate.
    This is a great idea and the easiest.
    I like the blacked out look and the way my truck is set up I don’t think it would look good on my particular truck just to peel them off.

    I’ve heard of a number of black out products that are good and I have to address other areas on my truck for that.
    Good to know you’re happy with this product.
    Perhaps I’ll order it and try it.
    Thanks again.
