    I just picked up my new Taco last night from the dealer and I have already removed the TRD stickers and I will be removing the badges this weekend when I have a bit of time to do it correctly.

    I did a partial debadge on mine... took off the TRD Stickers, the dealer stickers, the SR5, V6 and Toyota badges on the tailgate, and the Snugtop badges on my shell. All that's left are the Tacoma badges on the sides and tailgate, and the Toyota emblem on the front... I like it. I think I'll probably leave it this way.

    I have to agree, actually seeing the red badges is yuck. Though I like the red engine cover bit... going to do that myself :p
