    What are YOUR pros and cons about the existing TRD badge?

    I think the placement is horrible for those that put caps on.

    Pro:

    It keeps the original factory look which I kind of like.
    I think it is kind of cool looking.
    It may positively effect resale value.

    Con:

    I think having a big old sticker that says "off road" is kind of cheesy. Like the 4" high letters that say "turbo" on everything from the '80s.
    I really like clean and minimalist looking things.
    TRD is almost the same as "TURD"

    If you don't turn your vehicles over every couple of years I would check resell value off my list. They're easily replaced.

    For the cons I would say you sound like you are a good candidate to strip the badge and go bare...or if that look gets old or not doing it for you look for something custom that has a factory appearance that is a design you like that makes it unique to you. Sky's the limit and I've seen some stellar designs on this site.

    Yeah, I can't imagine that it has much if any effect on resale value and if they are like $15 or $20 to replace, or even if you go the stupid expensive factory route and buy the $72 stickers, that still won't be much in the scope of the overall purchase price.

    I am leaning towards stripping them off but was curious what others thought and why. I see it as a pretty low risk "mod" since it isn't really a mod.

    I am going to make a rash decision when I have my tools out (when I am installing my new Tonneau that shows up tomorrow)!

    Easy to remove...heat and slow and steady wins the race. I've kept mine on because I like them.

    I've modified my last two cars since 2010 and ended up selling them and losing money. And a lot of times I didn't have a build vision and after adding one mod removed another for looks....an endless game. I'm trying to keep mine as stock as possible with the exceptions of steps, tonneau, grille, and a bike rack...we shall see how that pans out for me, lol. Plan to keep this one at least five years....but I've said that two times so far.

    :crazy:

    Tough one! TRD Off Road is cool...the '16 4x4 is borderline too much. I would not rock the "sport". That's open game for a new nickname. For my 2nd Taco arriving soon I went the custom route with @CBoy808!!! Ordered them yesterday and excited for them
