shave or black badges on white taco???

so i just debadged my taco and it looks nice and clean shaved... i also repainted them black and havent put them on yet... should i keep it shaved or put them back on... i saw people use the 3m double sided tape to rebadge it so i bought it but i put it behind the v6 and tried to cut it and it was nearly impossible... plzz tell me what to do

 

Put them back on black. It's a PITA to get the tape right, but once you do it's worth it.

Here's what mine looked like before putting them back on the truck

 

im partial to the blacked out look with lots of mods......so thats how i voted.

 

I'm thinking about debadging and painting them white too. Curious to see how it would look black on silver with black flares...

Edit: I meant painting them black...

 

blackem out

 

i was thinking of leaving it shaved but its 3 for the black look.... what tape should i use and how should i cut it

 

i took mine off to paint black but decided to not even put them back on, i dont miss them and i like the clean look

 

3m is the way to go......and cut it to where most of the emblem has it on it....its how i did mine, and have had zero problems.

 

I like the clean. If people don't know it's a Taco by now, then why do you care to educate them?

 

I did the exact same thing. Spent an hour or so getting them all nice and painted. Decided to leave the truck shaved, on my SW truck. I like the shaved look, easier to clean and wax as well.

Put my emblems on my tool box.

 

I think black badges look sweet on the white Tacomas, but I'm kinda biased

 

ummm... im think of doing the clean look... and have one tacoma sign on the back rather than the two on each side and the toyota,tacoma, v6, and sr5 sign....

 

You could always replace them with decals instead?

 

Ive got a magnetic gray taco and I stripped the badges off, painted them black, but decided to only put the door badges back on. I like clean, bare tailgate and the fact that my black door badges match with my black wheel/tire setup.

 

I say leave it off...looks cleaner and besides, everyone knows its a taco!

 

leave em off

 

ummmmmm... im leaning to leave them off now... its even on the polls... its too much work so im think of doing just the door badges like dysfunctnlretard said or just leave those off too...

I like the black badges.

 

I only have the Toyota and the Tacoma badge on my tailgate (blacked out), I just received a 4wd badge so I'm going to get it powder coated and add it.. don't care much for the V6 part.. or the SR5
