    It all started by adding the bottom door decal, then black emblem covers, then bedside decals, then hood decals, then trd pro grill... It gets addicting, but I think I'm done now... new decals.jpg

    Thinking about going with a cleaner look, but unsure how difficult it will be to reapply the badges if I decide I don’t like it.

    Any tips for removal?
    Any 3rd gens with all the badges removed?

    Thanks for merging... should have searched...

    I removed the two 'Tacoma' badges and the one 'V6' badge from mine and I haven't regretted it one bit. The truck looks so much better now, in my opinion.

    ^ I did the same. I also removed the TRD Sports decal. Looks really clean, but I will be installing a new decal this week.

    [x] 3rd option.

    I debadged tailgate and left the Tacoma's on the sides and plasti-dipped them. I popped my Overland Bound emblem to the right of the Tacoma on driver side.

    I may take those off at a later time.

    I was thinking about removing the TRD Off Road decal but I like how they look on the cement colour and the red goes with the taillights nicely.

    Besides, if I removed the decals then how will people know I have a TRD Off Road. :rolleyes:

    I took mine off today as I was thinking of doing it in black which I can still do later, even took the TRD 4x4 sport off.
    Also changed my grill to the all black TACOMA grill and put blk ABS letters on the tail gate.

    That's funny.

    I am sure someone is reading you post thinking "brilliant, why didn't I think of that".

    I debadged because it looks clean but it is also easier to wash/ wax without the plastic chrome bits.
