Poll: remove the TRD stickers or not?

Haha kinda. Could be considered a bouncy room. It's a roof top tent.

 

I'm waiting on a TRD OR and I asked the dealer if he would have the service guys debadge the truck and get rid of the stickers before I close on it and he couldn't believe it. "But those stickers cost $700!" I said no they don't and besides, they're useless and tacky.

 

Bouncy room alright.

 

How easy was it getting the stickers off around the windows? I had been thinking about possibly removing those but how they wrapped around the door made it look a bit more than my lazy ass might of wanted to tackle.

 

Easier than the TRD bedside stickers. Get them up to around 100° to 110° F and they come off super easy, in one piece with zero residue.

 

I'm also torn with keeping or ripping off the decals with my TRD sport but one thing is for sure the tailgate will be debadged.

 

Keep them. Shows the average joe you aren't a cheap ass.

 

Go custom!! best of both worlds!!

 

i had a 12' Tundra TRD. Completely "debadged" the truck but left the TRD decal. Dealer friend said it would hurt resale if removed (might be BS). Sold it and bought a 16' Tacoma SR5 DC (not TRD). Completely "debadged" it (Tacoma emblems, SR5 emblems, and V6 on tailgate). IMO, looks much better (cleaner) and much easier to wash/wax. Keep in mind that the sponge adhesive gets wet when washed/rain and stays wet for quite a while. I think if you don't "debadge" early it will leave an impression on your paint-especially like mine which is white. I could order the TRD decals on eBay as one member posted but it's not a TRD which has more equipment but I think the decal looks good especially on white.

 

That's like adding an air Jordan jump man to a pair of LA Gear

 

@CBoy808 makes cool custom SR5 decals also!

 

de-sticker, de-scoop, blacked out badges (probably remove soon)

 

I chose neither because the choices are bad.. But I say keep them. For one, I think they look good.. I wanted one in high school s so when I saw a TRD I never thought of the owners as bragging. In reality the SR5 4x4 models look just as nice anyway. The TRD emblem simply sets it apart.. Hell look at how many folks buy none TRD models and put emblems on them. I never understood why some assholes get worked up over that. If folks like them, let them.

 

Its like people buying a base model corvette and putting Z06 badges on it. Buy the model you want. Don't try and fake your way through it.

 

Oh believe me, I know what you're saying, but why do folks get so butt hurt when they see this is my question. It's like getting pissed at someone for putting turbos on a non turbo. At least that's what I'm getting from your response. Like " shoulda got a turbo in the first place if you were going to put one in there".. Of course I could be wrong and I mean no offense.

 

^this. Go with aftermarket to make it personal to you. @CBoy808 can design whatever you want.

 

Putting turbos on a non-turbo actually upgrades the model. TRD stickers don't do anything. No bilsteins, no locker, no MTS, no CC, etc.

 

i bought a base model, so i did this.

 

In some ppls minds, putting stickers on a vehicle upgrade the appearance.. I actually have a TRD badge on my 04 4runner, no one has ever criticized me for it, but I promise you, it will go anywhere my actual TRD will go.. But it does have TRD FJ coils, 5100 billys, and locker on it though..
